[hzahid]

Intel settles AMD claims but isn't off the hook:

@gesherbrum

Local retailers dont lower rates as they lower in the market. The Core i5 is properly priced here. Else Intel sells to the retailers at quite a decent rate

AMD retailers/distributors however take an extra arm n limb as premium for what they sell in Pakistan

 

[Bluff Master]

Bro just to mention intel has its official presence here in pakistan n takes care of all matters like supply of products at official rates etc. Whereas in case of amd, dealers have to import theirsalves
