Hello, as a tech support, I'm afraid that we are not able to give you a specific answer on the price difference. We have not been involved in such stuff. 

 

While there do have some differences between the two routers, you can purchase one of them based on the actual network needs and price or so. 

 

Good day.

@Kevin_Z 

 

I understand. Can you write me which processor is more powerful?

@bobwoj absolutely the 1.5 GHz tri-core one, it's from Broadcom, and the AX50‘s CPU is made by Intel, you know intel can easily get hot so it has to cut the cores number

I know this is an old question, but I came here from Google while asking the same thing, did some research, and want to share with everyone who might see this as the first search result like I did.

 

The short answer: The AX50 "solution" is faster/better.

 

The long answer: Intel uses a specialized co-processor for handling Wi-fi packets (Intel® Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV654) which according to their product brief, can handle up to 250,000 packets per second with zero% CPU usage (CPU in this case being the 800mhz dual core: Intel® AnyWAN SoC GRX350).

 

Lastly, from the product briefs you can see that Broadcom's chipset cannot handle AX3000 speeds while Intel's built specifically for these rates. This means Intel's solution, albeit looking weaker, is actually faster.

 

The product briefs:

AX50 processor: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/connected-home/anywan-soc-grX350-ax3000-brief.html

@Greenhat 

Thank you for the extensive answer and the research you've carried out!

 

Would you know in what hypothetical situation the Broadcom chip (i.e. the AX10) would perform better than the AX50's Intel chip? Do number of connected devices matter, whether you're using all bands (ethernet, 2.4G and 5G) at the same time, etc.? Or does the Intel chip win every single scenario?

 

I tried looking for comparissons between the two online, but it's not like comparing a 10900K to a Ryzen 5900X, unfortunately...
