I don't think AMD is going to try to massively undercut Intel on price, at least not outside of the high-end where Intel has been gouging because AMD has had absolute nothing capable of competing for years. If their salvage part is a 4C/8T chip and it can still hit good clocks, they might not have anything below $200. I think that they want to leave some market space for their APUs and that's harder to do if Ryzen comes in too low.
At the same time AMD cannot price the same as Intel because the market for such performance is already obtainable at such prices and in a war between AMD and Intel for the same performance & price bracket, most will go to Intel on reputation alone.
The only way AMD wins here is to offer at a much lower price for the same performance bracket, coupled with there new platform and available hardware to match with it, they will have more buyers than they would by pricing Ryzen at Intel insanity levels.
No Doubt About It. Just wait
