except almost everyone (as in+80% on this planet) will be better of getting a bigger gpu if they dont own something like a 2080/ti.
e.g. getting this cpu and pairing it with anything lower than 2070S would be a waste of money, as gains on the gpu side will be much bigger.

This will be great gaming CPU , no need to worry about the silicone lottery with this puppy , top binned 9900 and the price if the retailers don't go greedy and keep it as it is seems fair to me .

Base frequency up to XXXX - its bad marketing or something has to be really wrong.. 40 PCI-E lines.. its pure marketing or we will see new chipset / socket again..

It's just some marketing fib. Intel's own product page says 16 lines. The bigger problem is that one year warranty mentioned. It's exceedingly strange if it's not an error in the text. Normally CPUs have a three years warranty, after all. If it was just a single year for this, it would mean Intel knows something that we don't.
