They should have just named it Lava Lake, they really should have.
Who needs a HEATER? *gets out boxes of intel heaters*
Thank goodness for Ryzen 3000 series to save most folk's bacon.

What a surprise!

Who would have thought. 😀

Sweet irony, how the tables have turned.
Before and after the Ryzen launch, Intel and it's fanbase propagated the "AMD runs hot" mantra.
Now, Intel, tell us: do we need a special thermometer to measure the temperature or rather a paradigm shift of "running hot" ?
Lesson to be learned: don't call your opponent names or mock, you just don't know how your mockery will come back and bite you right in the back.

Intel adopting AMDs strategy from the Bulldozer days, jack up the ghz and to hell with the consequences.

Delid->copper IHS->liquid metal->custom water cooling.
Say goodbye to the warranty and your hot cpu gets coldish.
Not good at all, and you are forced to purchase new motherboard with PCIe 3.0 if you want to have a new Lava Lake in your computer.
Most of users would not complain if this "new" CPU generation worked in theirs Z370/390 mobo.

Well, I'd love to know what consumer segment these CPUs target.
AMD ran hot in the past, but they were cheap.
If these CPUs are that hot, expensive, don't offer anything new (PCIe 4.0 for example) and don't even outperform Intel's older CPUs by quite a margin, why on earth would someone buy them?

i think it will just run as hot as a 9900k with 2 extra cores.

Obviously, the technology reached it's limits nowadays. To push the efficiency and to remain within the sustainable temperature range, something has to be radically changed in terms of the basic conception of CPU design. I've got a feeling that the producers are perfectly aware of the fact, but, for one reason or another (techno-technological barriers, cost...?) the transition is either impossible/not applicable for the time being or it requires huge investments...

Pentium 4 NetBurst era all over the place,isnt Intel? 😀
14nm+++ & 5GHz+++=250W+++(85C+++ Hotter Love)
(But no worries,some tech sites will not report this in their benches,they will pretend this is normal.
"Accidentally" the high temp&power of new CL cpu is not an issue)

Hmm, 4.6GHz and 1C/2T eats around 20W? I do not think so. Intel can make 10C/20T on same process as they make i9-9900K and that would have no such power draw.
(Test is apparently Aida Stress FPU.)
So, someone with 9900K ready to test?

1) an oc intel 9900k @5.1Hz was already in the 85-95°C @5.0 75°C with AIOs (tried 2 of them)
2) it never had 200Watts, @5.0Ghz it was 160Watts and @5.1 around 180Watts (and my cpu was overworked and barely stable at 5.1 I could only game like that not encode video etc..)
2) if you dont own an HEDT Intel or AMD Threadripper you have no idea what "hot" means, my 3960x @4.4Ghz all cores 1.4V generates 347Watts (only the cpu ! my overall system 6 sata 3 m.2 almost 10 usb connected 10 fans etc... uses 800+Watts at that stage, not up to 800 above 800 ! so you need a 1000+ PSU too I had to upgrade ><) thats hot..very hot way hotter than anything else than a custom loop can handle
if you don't believe me just read the very good Guru3d reviews 😉

edit: the lack of upgrade to pcie 4.0 and more importantly the bandwith that comes with it (I'm full SSD and NVME drives) is what made me switch to AMD if Intel didn't make that stupid mistake I would probably have bought a 10x HEDT instead

I already see reviewers blasting off on Intel and recommending to wait for zen3 or buy zen2 instead. I also expect some zen3 badass rummors soon just to throw some hype and shadow on these.
Difficult times up ahead for Intel.
