Gotta read the thread chain back to Gasaraki's assumption that Intel could simply drop prices on its 8 core E part to combat Ryzen. I'm also sure Intel could mount something competitive in a smaller socket, but at this point released roadmaps only show a six core coming to 115x next year. Which leaves 20xx sockets for anything with a higher core count - those chips are quite large (quad channel DDR controller and PCI lanes), and with a separate chipset, the platform as a whole is expensive, to the point that I'm not sure Intel could really 'just' drop prices in the E ranges to compete with Ryzen.
I understand what you mean. In theory you're right, but not even AMD is pitching Ryzen against Intel's E CPUs with what they've shown so far. We'll know for sure within the next month ;)
