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 monthGotta 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.
