It was also added in the report that Intel might do actions that would place their CPU’s at a “competitive disadvantage.” In which those actions were exampled to be like giving other competitors, Nvidia preferential access to their “proprietary graphics interface or other useful information.”
With that said, Forbes mentioned that processor king company, Intel had been reported to lower down its processor prices. Listed on Microcenter, Intel's Core i7-7700K is listed to be down to $299. Meanwhile, the Core i7 7700K’s price on Amazon was reduced as well but only to $339.
