They are not sure when the container ship will come in with the chillers needed to run it

Ian from Anandtech says 14++So Basin Falls refresh is here:

Prices look to be similar to last gen, though higher clocks.
Does anyone know what node these actually are? I would hope it is 14++ but it is weird they called it Basin Falls (14nm) refresh.
Only with software and microcode updates. No hardware changes. Those were reserved for the consumer i-9 skus as far as I can tell.Are the spectre/meltdown vulnerabilities corrected with the refresh?

https://siliconlottery.com/collections/sl/products/delidSo with the results of the Basin Falls refresh being a resounding ”meh” that relied upon increased clocks with the soldered TIM, I finally decided to pull the trigger.
I picked up a BNIB 7940X for cheaper than you can get a 10 core and I am looking for a (preferably stateside) reputable delidding service provider. Anyone know of any companies that can take do that without destroying my processor?
Also - Squuuuueeeeeeee! Feeding the upgrade bug.

They did my 7820x.
Were did you find the deal on the 7940x?
So a 7820x is ~$500 for 8 core, but the new 9820x 10 core is almost double the price?? WTF is wrong with Intel. Threadripper will eat them alive. I'd consider the upgrade if it was ~$600-700. Pushing $900 is absolutely ridiculous. With Threadripper out, Intel should not get away with charging these prices.

I'm surprised there aren't any reviews on the 9800x yet. Mine will be delivered tomorrow but I am not sure if I should actually use it, lol.
Woah didn’t know they were actually shipping. Review it!
Man seems nobody even cares about the Basin Falls stuff outside the 9980xe. Microcenter selling 7940x for 999 now too. I really wanted to see if the new cache increases gave gaming a bump.
I doubt it. The only reason the "mainstream" platform fares better is because of the Ring Bus. With the mesh, you don't get the same FPS with the same clockspeed.
More cache implies less need to use the interconnect. So it would improve game performance.
Well, that's a bummer. When are we getting that fast ring bus on a platform with more than a measly 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes + 4 more PCIe 3.0 lanes for literally everything else on the DMI link for a change?I doubt it.

That's the problem both Intel and AMD's "mainstream" desktop platforms have. I don't need more than 8 cores, especially not at a deficit to single-threaded performance (Amdahl's Law, DCS not having switched to Vulkan yet, ArmA 3, etc.), but when NVMe SSDs are becoming the standard (usually four lanes each) and I have intentions to use things like PCIe x4 video capture/framegrabber cards, PCIe x4 USB 3.0 quad-channel cards (or USB 3.1/Thunderbolt 3.0), and my trusty little X-Fi Titanium HD, 16 lanes from the CPU just isn't going to cut it any more.
I was hoping that the i7-9800X would strike a good balance, but maybe that's not the case after all, especially if it can't actually hit 5 GHz reliably.
Yeah I am really hoping the 9800x-9920x can overclock well. I got a new RAM kit that I OC'd to DDR4000 17-19-19-39-1T tRFC 300 (stable). My latency went from 72-74ns to 52-54ns on a 7820x, which has very little L3 per core. Read/Write bandwidth are both 100+. I am really curious with the L3 cache bumps if the gap is going to get closed on Ring.
