Thanking AMD for this.
When will intel bring back copper core for their heatsink? Current intel hsf is ugly af.

I feel like this is a non issue.

Who uses the box cooler anyway. That's the first thing that goes in the trash (or the spare parts bin) when you open a new CPU box :p
 
So Hyperthreading is going to be a high end high dollar feature now? They should have had a 6/12 too.
 
The wallet is starting to feel a bit anxious as leaks of a possible ti Nvidia being shown next week and this news also.

I have a feeling 9900k and 2080/1180ti gaming builds will be making walkers scream this fall.

Thought the same about a 4/8 with the quad-core 8th gen, but I can see the product stack getting confusing there.

What's really going to be confusing though is comparing 6/12 with 8/8 :D

Only if Intel can't figure out how to make it work well with more cores. They might just not do hyperthreading and instead go with straight cores up to 32, and leave anything above that for their xeon chips. That's just me speculating, though.

Ok, so I'm starting to think the 9900K is a CPU I make actually want to own for more than the usually year that I keep my CPU's. That's an odd feeling. If I can get the new RTX Titan ... the I might just plan on keeping my system for a few years.

Same I actually want this now over the i9-7960x. Originally I thought it would be nice to have AVX-512 but to be honest I don't use it and personally it's just a reason to make the chip slower and hotter for me.

Need to bump up that clock speed to make up for all the microcode changes :p
