Very fair pricing IMHO. Even if AMD prices the 16C at $999, Intel's 4.5 GHz Turbo for the 10C will give them a significant performance per core advantage that will be reflected in games and many apps. You could make a case for both chips, depending on your priorities. To me the real gem is 7900X, it's the best balance between ST/MT without breaking the bank.
I'm a fan of the 7820X personally, you get 80% of the performance of the 7900X for a little more than half the price (it's cheaper per core than a 7700K!) and while 28 lanes seemed gimped, we have to remember that it is still a huge improvement over 16; single GPU users can have their GPU plus a boatload of storage and networking devices without taking a performance hit.
No less of a joke than Nvidia7nm next year (even the GloFo joke of a 7nm)? Funny jokes mate.
Yeah my concern is that Intel is very hit and miss with this approach, life would be simpler if they had just left it alone.Imagining the rage of a guy who's delid of 7980XE went wrong is what makes me moist, personally.
Well... More power to Intel i guess, we'll see how that works out soon.
Buy 7800X or wait for CFL-S hex core?
Dam that 7820X does look yummy. $599 is kinda steep tho. I'm hoping that isn't the final pricetag when it hits shelves. I'm in the market for an upgrade and was considering the 7700K path and waiting my pockets are burning already.
Nah, that's a very aggressive price. Consider that Ryzen 8 cores are in the $300-$450 range, presently. And the 7820X will outperform it. So $599 is damned fair, IMHO. Enough that if this was available earlier this year, I'd have gone that route for sure.
SiliconLottery is gonna make big bucks.Get ready for some delidding https://www.techpowerup.com/233865/...-lake-x-hedt-cpus-to-use-tim-wont-be-soldered
Again, I'll wait for the official (and current) launch information from AMD...
Just remember, guys: Intel nearly doubling the amount of cores available to HEDT has NOTHING TO DO with AMD's sudden competitive lineup.
As we ALL KNOW, Intel was offering us the absolute MOST it possibly could, and wasn't at all stagnant prior to having real competition.

Will enjoy seeing Epyc and the 7nm Threadripper versions next year make Intel cry and do unprecedented things like this again.

Fair pricing? Are you kidding? The 18C/36T is $2,000 bucks, and we haven't even seen the performance for that sucker yet. No one in their right mind would pay $2,000 dollars on a processor with a potential TDP that's through the roof, with marginally weaker cores with very little performance benefit at THAT price.
Consider that they were charging nearly this much for a 10 core Broadwell. It's a vast improvement. But the 18 core chip isn't the value proposition in the lineup anyway. That appears to belong to the $599 8 core 7820X.
But I thought the whole point was to compete with the ThreadRipper and Ryzen. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose if even Ryzen's 8 core beats the i9 in price/performance?
We will see.Intel is faster, better perf/watt, better platform, better features etc. Of course it cost more.

I'll be picking up a 7820x. Any guesses on what Asus is going to want for their ROG Strix X299-E? Also, what memory would you put pair with it? 4x4gb 4000MHz? I am starting to put my shopping list and budget together.
sign me up for a 6-shooter, not sure why that table nerfs the clock speed and memory speed....Buy 7800X or wait for CFL-S hex core?

This is getting more fun. Now that is a massive, extremely massive lineup to Intel new HEDT platform . Will be very interesting how AMD Ryzen and Skylake X higher core counts perform. On highly threaded workloads I am suspecting AMD will win out.
Which should be better for gamers? Skylake-X or wait and see about Coffeelake? I plan to upgrade from my Devils Canyon 4690k OC'd to 4.3ghz on water.
