So we can all agree the ONLY reason why Intel kept us starved for moar cores was because AMD failed to offer any tangible competition for a whole decade? Mmkay!
I don't need tomorrow to see how prices will evolve until Coffee Lake launch. It's clear Intel chose to react to AMD with both moar cores and better pricing....or perhaps, there isn't? You'll see tomorrow.
i7 7700K 13,990 ฿Do you mean 4%?
i7 7700K 13,990 ฿
i7 7740K 11,990 ฿
14% according to that price list, while the 7640K would be 20% cheaper than 7600K.
I personally can't wait to see what intel thinks an 18 core CPU is worth.
More than your entire system (with monitor and the rest), i think it's pretty obvious.I personally can't wait to see what intel thinks an 18 core CPU is worth.

I don't think it's an excuse at all. The truth is Intel is in the money-making business. If the opportunity presents itself, they'll milk it. AMD's lack of competition in the past decade allowed Intel to get away with giving us as much performance as they could get away with, and that has been 4 cores at the upper mainstream. Have we forgotten so soon AMD using an Intel chip to demo their flagship gpu?Ehh, it probably wasn't the only reason why Intel slowly trickled out higher core counts - the high-core variants of Haswell-EP didn't clock high enough to be much use as a desktop chip, and Broadwell-EP doesn't seem to have had great yields - but Zen seems to have been a good excuse for Intel to finally throw their big guns into the mix.
It's kind of like the Emergency Edition all over again... except you know, this time, it'll probably actually work.
The 7820X is mighty tempting.
I don't need it... but I do need it, if you know what I mean.
Does AMD have any higher core count processor, client-side? Cos it seems like Intel may have stolen AMD's lunch with these leaks. I mean threadripper is supposed to steal the client-side performance crown for AMD, once and for all.It's two more cores than any Threadripper is going to have, so I'd expect them to charge accordingly. It's the price of the 16C model that'll really be interesting; whether they're content to charge a lot more than AMD for slightly higher performance, or if they price it only a little higher and really try squeezing AMD's margins.
Not sure if serious?!?I mean threadripper is supposed to steal the client-side performance crown for AMD, once and for all.

On a serious note, if you could choose between 16C/32T 3.5Ghz/4Ghz(4.1Ghz) Threadripper at 1K dollars vs 18C/36T 2.5-2.7/4.3Ghz i9 at 2400 dollars, what would you choose and why? Both would have approx. the same mobo price and similar PCIE lanes/QC memory.
Well you have Ryzen, just adjust for more cores in well MTed workloads, give or take 5%.Whiout seeing performance of both that is impossible to answer.
Thanks.Fresh leak with pricing, looks not too bad if true:

So lazy that they stole Videocardz' image and forgot to change the watermark on the first image... even though they put their watermark on all the rest.
Go to videocardz to see the original rumor article, ignore WCCFTech:
https://videocardz.com/69900/exclusive-intel-to-launch-18-core-core-i9-7980xe-cpu
I might have missed it but that videocardz link didn't have pricing listed, so I linked to wccftech instead.
Where does that fit in with prior rumors? i7 was 6-core, i5 was 4/8, i3 was 4/4, Pentium was 2/4, Celeron was 2/2.Fresh leak with pricing, looks not too bad if true:

Thanks.
12C/24T at 2.9Ghz means that 18C has to be way lower than that. Likely a 2.4-2.5Ghz range (my estimate).
Looks like a knee jerk reaction from intel, having on paper more cores always looks better to average Joe, no matter the performance( look at FX).
Edit:
To save you time ,2x less expensive chip performing almost the same as 18C, out of the box, in well MTed workloads is a no brainier
