Isn't that going to cause very serious heat issues when it's OC?

Yeah that 7820x looks mighty fine, if its max 600€ I might consider it. Looks like AMD did some magic so Intel finally reacted with "proper pricing"

Well, lets consider it like a discounted Skylake version of the "6900K". lol I will wait as I said for official reviews to see how it stacks up to the AMD core-wise countrepart. :thumbup:

We still need to see Threadripper pricing but I think Intel just set the 1998x(?) at $1399-1499.

The deepest I can go in my pocket is for an i7 7820X. Its either that or a Ryzen 1700X which I think I can get both mobo and cpu for the price of that Intel i7 above. I will wait for official reviews to see if I can make or is worth to make the jump from my 6700k. I only mentioned the Ryzen for personal reasons. Don't wanna derail the thread. :thumbup:

Ryzen 1700X is much better value price/performance and is a 95W TDP part. With the platform price difference, add your 1080 reselling value and buy a 1080Ti. Just my 2 cents.

lol, now the prices are falling... guess AMD Is turning up the heat.

This time intel ships are the ones to heat, literally. 140W tdp for 8 cores? :banana:

In my opinion Intel is keeping their prices high, AMD only made an impact on core count.

These are very out of my reach, but my curiosity needs to be feed.

I guess no one will buy CPU with 10-18 cores for gaming,then will cry in the corner to show how bad this CPU it is. 🤓 Too bad these Intel cpus show up too late,ThreadRipper will be the new trend.Chic. 🙂

Why are you comparing TDP values when it's been said 100x that Intel/AMD measure TDP differently? https://www.pcper.com/files/imagecache/article_max_width/review/2017-02-27/power.png That's not to mention that none of these comparisons normalize for performance or feature set. 1800x has less active PCI-E lanes, less AVX registers and only has a dual channel controller.

One year for Vega is late, 3-4 months for 4+ core (Intel already has competitive 4+ cores, just priced higher) is not "too late". Last time I checked I can't buy threadripper atm either. The hyperbole in these threads is becoming laughable.

I know,Vega is delayed little more,but Intel Cpu 8-16 cores for ze masses is delayed too long.

Seeing this prices only makes me cringe knowing how much Intel was ripping customers off. 1,750$ for 6950x and now the 7900x with the same core count cost 999$. What a joke. If there was no AMD it would cost a soul.

this will not be received well at all, but it seems intel doesn't give a damn!

Maybe I wasn't clear but I'm actually aiming at 1700X. I just prefer to see some official reviews for the new CPU's from both camps or Intel's at least to be able to make a more informed decision. And don't remind me please! My 1080 is already dressed with EK block or else... :P

Does look like they went with TIM instead of solder for both Skylake-x and Kabylake-x. 😥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCv7hF7kepU

3.3 ghz for the 10/20 core version, 18/36 core will go down to 2.6 probs, im guessing AMDs 16/32 cores CPU will go for $1200 give or take. The CPU market is becoming interesting after 10 years

Hoping to pick myself up the 10/20 core one, hoping it will be around the £900 mark if those prices are correct. Though will wait to see what threadripper has in store just incase. would have prefered the 8/16 core but they gimped then PCIE lanes for some unknown reason, and the prices between the 8 and 10 seem a little to high, so maybe the 10 core might come down just a little... Will look forward to HH reviews on all these, either way this year is setting up to be a very interesting battle between AMD and intel. looks like PC's/CPU's are going to be heading into a war between core count rather than clock speeds

I was thinking in the lines of older 8-core parts like haswell-e and broadwell-e was not a good overclocker. You had some of the 8-core ones go to 4.7ghz. Now of course it could have changed with these. And if these really are not soldered like old HEDT cpus we might see limited overclocking partly because of that already.

i never care much about either the cpu soldered or not because what i need is stable system rather than OC-ing for maximum performance but if we look the positive side isnt non-soldered CPU better, especially for OC-ing people so they can delid easily and get even better performance ? and for person like me that prefer stable system with cool system, well soldered might give cooler temp, but even so maybe not more than 5c considering cpu usage is usually below 50% the impact will be "casual" OC people, that afraid/never deliding the cpu with OC they get lil-bit hotter
