If rumors are true, you will be able to get a 2700x with it´s fan cooler and an Asus Crosshair motherboard for the price of a 9900k CPU when it launches. Let´s wait until october, 19th to get the reviews (if is not just a paper launch) and let´s hope that the price/performance ratio worth it

the new standard 2.5Gb ? where ? the next standard already exists and it's called 10Gbit
I'm lucky enough to have 10GBit internet so hard pass for me completely useless port
win7 with Intel X550 ethernet card https://www.speedtest.net/result/d/b6170b84-a376-42f8-8413-4bbdfcb144aa
in reality my max seems to be 2.8Gb/s probably because of the SSDs/motherboard etc..steam torrents etc all max out at 2.8 can't be a coincidence
I know I'm a special case, still why would you release a brand new chipset with 2.5Gb it seems dumb to me..I'm waiting for the ASrock with the 10Gb port

As a Romanian, very proud by my 1gbps connection, seeing what Salt Fiber offers at a very small price... well, I'm hiding in a dark corner, weeping uncontrollably.
