Intel 10th Gen Core X Cascade Lake HEDT Processors Launch October 7th at ~55 USD per core
October is going to be an interesting month, next to the Radeon RX 5500 release, and new 1650/1660 cards from NVIDIA. Next to that Intel is planning to release a number of new processors, as well as Cascade Lake, is making an entry.
The initial X299 motherboards compatible products are 10-core/20-thread Core i9-10900XE. Then there will be a 12c/t Core i9-10920XE at ~ $700. Intel will also release a 14c/28t i9-10940XE for roughly $800 and then is closing with an 18 Core i9-10960XE at $999. You'll notice that Intel is severely dropping price in order to be competitive with AMD, Intel is going for 50 to 60 USD per core for the HEDT platform. Interestingly enough there is no mention of a 16-core model. It is expected that the single-core turbo will ruin towards 4.7/4.8 GHz.
Cascade Lake gets 44-lane PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes and offers quad-channel DDR4 memory up to 256 GB with official support for DDR4-2933 memory. Your X299 LGA2066 motherboard will be compatible with a BIOS update. Much like what AMD is going to do with the new Threadrippers, Intel will aim these chips at PC enthusiasts and content creators. As things look right now, October 7 you can expect announcements with market availability in November.
Update - intel just gave the thumbs up to post these slides due to the leak:

I wonder how long talks the CEO had to have with the board of directors before Intel managed to drop the prices like this. After all, this is quite historical as far as Intel is concerned.
Good luck to stores trying to get rid of the old stock, though, without accepting a personal loss. AMD ought to have expected this at some point, but it will surely change the HEDT market landscape seeing how Intel's CPUs still offer better performance for the same number of cores. That being said, the real competitor for Intel's X 10000 series should be AMD's TR 3000 series, not TR 2000. Assuming AMD doesn't fail repeatedly to get them out.

Cascade Lake X has 48 PCIe Lanes, +4 from the 44 that SKL-X had, which means you can run full 3x x16, or 5x x8 (ie. every slot) + 2 M.2 SSDs
For my personal workstation desires of strong ST and strong MT in one system, with high PCIe lanes, these might finally offer a worthy upgrade. Will have to see how TR 3000 stacks up, particularly in ST load - but since they are apparently only starting with a 24 core model, it seems to once again only focus on MT.

Did Intel just finally realize they had to cut prices in half to make sense?

according to computerbase the maximum turbo clock (turbo boost 3.0) applies to up to 4 cores.
so finally more than 1-2 active cores are allowed to boost to the maximum at once.

Boss... I am afraid to bring it to you... but your math doesn't check out.
