It's happened before. Premium or not, this is common practice.
Do you remember the days when a chipset was released once every 3-4 years? Those days are long gone.
I am right there with you.If X299 was a 1 CPU generation platform this will officially be the end of Intel builds for me. No more...
I'm optimistic we'll get a few generations of cpu upgrades on x299. Intel has to know it would piss alot of people off and lose customers if x299 had no upgrade path. AMD is a big competitor now so Intel needs to be careful and not lose more market share by making stupid decisions. I mean, what would change on x399 that would be incompatible on x299?
Hopefully you saw the news about the X299. It is now considered EOL, and there will no more CPU's on this chipset.

How do you get that x299 is eol'ed from that article? It's only talking about Kaby Lake X.
That's quite a leap. There is still a skylake-x refresh expected for Q418 or Q119, there is no reason to think that won't work with X299.Because Kaby Lake X is only on the X299 platform? With the X399 platform coming soon.....Well you get the picture.

Kaby Lake X was EOL-d because nobody in their right mind purchased it, or taken it seriously. Including MB manufacturers.

What is the future of x299? I mean for real? I have a $489 Prime Deluxe board. I hear x299 might be a corpse already with x399 replacing it. I might be do e with Intel for good of they cancel a premium chipset after one fucking generation.
A borderline necro thread but I have long since sold my x399. I miss avx512 but love my 2950x. At least I have another upgrade path or two with x399.
I have a Z77 board, still has the same CPU it started with. Z79 board, same. X99, same. Z170, same. Z270, same. I kinda doubt I'll ever be looking for an upgrade CPU for X299, either. I'm way more inclined to just build a whole new rig, but I do see why a CPU upgrade path would be a selling point to others. I just like building computers, I guess.

I've only ever upgraded my processor once. New boards come with new features. At least with me I'm more likely to replace the mobo and processor at the same time.
I think you meant you sold your X299 Anyway, why do you miss AVX512? Where were you using those instructions?
Which X399 board did you get?
I used it for hevc encoding but not as much as I could have. The 7820x was also a very nice gaming chip as well.
As far as my 2950x AMD I am going to sit on this chip for a while. Its so fast for the multitasking work I do I cant imaging anything for the price replacing this monster.
Just curious, which X399 motherboard are you running? It's missing from your signature
