it's going to be less cost effective than ryzen then get slaughtered by ryzen 2 in performance because the PIII core has been optimized to the limit already and ryzen hasn't even hit puberty yet.
best they can hope for is for their i3/i5 line to actually be considered an option at all again for most people.
Hope ryzen hasn't hit puberty yet
It's going to be interesting

yeah i can see the i3/i5 being the better buy. However intel i7 is capped at 12 threads, so it'll probably lose to the 1700/1800 in workstation aspect. Though 6/12t should be more than enough to do anything these days while destroying shit in games.
Might see 8core i7 on mainstream with gen after
Z370 might be 1 gen too
But then again intel might go one platform instead of mainstream and enthusiast
