In this article, we'll review the all-new 18-core Core i9 10980XE from Intel. Despite many announcements, this is the most versatile (in cores) HEDT processor for the consumer market from intel, the $979 Core i9 10980XE that sits as the flagship processor in the new Cascade lake line of processors.

speaking for myself but....the reason why I want to change from Z390 are the pcie lanes
which prevent me from using more than 1 nvme (at the loss of 2 sata ports per nvme the cost is too high on PCH lanes)
which prevent me from using my thunderbolt 3 pcie card
which prevent me from using an addon usb ports pcie card
which force me to use pcie x8 speed for my gpu
real case scenario here I have cards taking dust because of my lack of lanes plugging them makes my sata drives disappear (when you run out of lanes they disappear even in the bios it's like they are unplugged)
the 3950x (my mistake at the time) doesn't really fix that it adds if I understood right 4 lanes to Z390 ?! which is still not enough
two possibilities for threadripper, either it's going to suck at gaming like the previous gen, which I expect but very much hope it doesn't or it's going to destroy Intel everywhere
whatever it is I'm ready to pay the TR price I learned with Z390 that my use case is too extreme for a "consumer" setup
+1 on the power consumption, if you use that kind of HW for work then it's your customers who pay the bills or part of them, if not you don't care in the least

"More cores, more secure, faster, stronger."
"Cheaper"
Should have been enough.
But not cheap enough... unfortunately.
Especially when considering total platform cost.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Performs pretty damn well in games and since all those graphs are stock, this will be a beast when overclocked. Besides, who's gonna buy one of these and not overclock it? Also a person overclocking one of these is not gonna give s rat's buttcheeks about power consumption.
Maybe I should upgrade my Core i9 7980xe for this but... I liquid metal'd my 7980xe.

Final words & conclusion
Of course, you will not be purchasing an 18-core processor to play games, that would be ludicrous
Conclusion
The biggest competitor for the Core i9 10980XE is not at all Threadripper 3000 as you'll find out later today

"Cheaper"
Should have been enough.
But not cheap enough... unfortunately.
Especially when considering total platform cost.
This CPU's price is at the price of the AMD 3900x + X570 + NVMe 1To that i have just paid.
My new CPU look really good in bench compared to this one despite having less core (wich confirm my 1st feeling about it, coming from dual Xeon)
Comparing AMD's mainstream to Intel's high end is not good to Intel at all, even more with the old chipset used in 2066...
So yes, i agree with you, this is a good CPU for upgrade a 2066, but way too expensive.
