The Rest of the Skylake-X Line Leaked

The review sites are making it seem like intel is WAY ahead of Ryzen in gaming performance...then you dig into the benchmarks and see that, real world, Ryzen is within 3-4 fps of the highest clocked intel chips! I think there is a flat out bullshit perception out there that AMD is still not competitive in gaming...and it's simply not true! I am going with Threadripper for 3 reasons:

1) HALF the cost of Intel
2) no ARTIFICIAL restrictions on PCI lanes to try to milk more money from consumers
and 3) solder on the heatspreadder (aka, ATTENTION TO DETAILS!)

I dont care if the next guy can get a few more fps out of his rig, I refuse to pay $2000 for Intel's best chip...or have to pay $1000 just to get the full 44 lanes that Intel offers! I will most likely get the $999 chip anyway (because, why not? I am already spending a ton on my next build, and $500 more isnt breaking the bank), but at $999 I am going to get a hell of a lot more performance for my dollar than an Intel chip will provide.

Just a warning: in gaming TR is not going to provide even 1 more fps than equally clocked Ryzen, so i hope you have more in store for it than just games.

That remains to be seen. Will wait for the benchmarks. In any case, the difference in gaming at high resolutions is typically about 3-4 fps behind intel with Ryzen, I don't know why some people act like intel chips are the end all be all when there is that slim of a gap in performance...

I expect the extra PCI lanes to greatly affect benchmarks too...especially in SLI.

I am not sure. Have we seen benchmarks on systems with a full 16 lanes dedicated to each graphics card yet? I am reserving judgement on performance until we get real benchmarks..shouldnt be too much longer, then we can put all of the speculation to bed.

Yes, it is about 5% difference on Titan Xps.
 
1) HALF the cost of Intel

The 10C i9 performs better then the 12C TR as a result there is no 1/2 the cost at all. I would say the 16C is a little better then the i9 10C so it is a does offer better value at the same cost.
