I believe this is the first 7980x retail in stock: https://www.caseking.de/en/intel-core-i9-7980xe-2-6-ghz-skylake-x-sockel-2066-boxed-hpit-427.html
7960x is also there: https://www.caseking.de/en/intel-core-i9-7960x-2-8-ghz-skylake-x-sockel-2066-boxed-hpit-429.html
There are more choices for...
Yes on 2x 8pin cpu cables. Techspot has 7960x at 4.3 having 500w system power consumption. Either way, with other hardware you might be running, my suggestion would be to adapt the psu to the components instead of the other way around.
It's possible, HEDT running cpu and memory clocks higher than xeon could still be bottlenecked. I haven't come across one yet, but I expect somebody will do 7980x memory scaling test eventually.
This is only because we have two big information releases on the same day, no need to panic.
In a few weeks this thread will drop off the first page with nothing left to gossip about.
7960x is trading places with 7980xe in a few of techspot's benchmark runs so software still plays a role which I thought was interesting.

Overclocked were all three to 4.5 while stock 8700k does single boost to 4.7 but then it looks like stock 7700k single boost was not working for that POV ray single thread run.
The only thing that keeps it under $400 are the leaks from retailer websites and they still have time to set the prices.
Intel released pricing for 1k units, if Kaby 1k-to-retail margins would be applied to Coffee 1k prices the retail would easily reach $400.

https://i.imgur.com/pUYsrnI.jpg - is a set of 5 chips, 7640x through 7900x and QM72 is code for 7640x the same as the code on the image of "dual core hedt chip" .. so is it...

seems to be the only placeholder listing with what looks like a placeholder price and 09-29 expected incoming date.
