Image coming soon?
Usually ships within 7 to 10 days.
Sigh.
No wonder the power draw is so high. Can it evolve into something better?
i9-7960X Die.
7920X is literally the least interesting of the bunch.
Kinda hoping for Intel's sake that the rest of the 79xxX chips aren't similarly delayed/paper launched.
Have I been asleep ? What 7960x benchmarks ? And NO I am not trying to be funny, I must have just missed that (getting ditzy in my old age ??)Hmm. Kinda makes Intel look bad to drop all those 7960x benchmarks and then not sell the CPU in any significant quantity.

7960x is scheduled to release at the end of September (http://techreport.com/news/32360/intel-reveals-full-core-i9-specs-and-launch-dates) , don't blame Intel for your lack of patience.
So which is it? Is Arachnotronic going to be right or not? I didn't see you pop off on him when he just said they were probably going to be delayed. You got a problem?
I meant a benchmark or a review by a trusted web site, like Anandtech, Toms hardware, etc...Here are a few:

This one was much publicized if I recall:

Fanless tablet with Kaby Lake-R i7 quad-core & Nvidia GeForce MX150 discrete graphics.
Where are the people who claimed that the HCC dies would require an LGA2066 v2?
Looks nice, but that video about the liquid cooling is a bit over the top.https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/switch7blackedition

Having doubts about products being released on the dates promised is one thing, complaining about sales not happening for a product that hasn't been released yet is ridiculous.

Thai reviewer teasing a Z370 motherboard...

Very nice. thanks. Cant wait for end of September.
In the meantime, i have to decide which motherboard to get. I am looking at those around 300 EUROs price-point (not having unlimited funds and between 7920x + 500 EUROs mobo and 7940x + 300 EUROs mobo i choose the latter option) and my possibilties are as follows:
ASUS Strix-E
ASUS Prime-A
ASUS TUF Mark-1
Gigabyte Aorus 3
MSI Gaming Pro Carbon (maybe even AC version, but i guess the only difference is WIFI i dont need)
AsRock Taichi
which one would you choose?
My last 3 mobos including current one were Gigabyte - and all of them were rock-solid, none died on me (knocking on the wood), i did not run into any issues or instabilities. So it would be my prefered choice - but Aorus 3 was not getting greatest reviews, it was singled out in that VRM-gate as insufficient... if i was going into higher priced options, i would defo go for Aorus 7, but between the ones i posted, i think i will go into another brand (for the first time since 2007).
The question is, which one?
Asus apparently have great BIOSes and are probably the go-to brand for most people. MSI Pro Carbon seems pretty decent overall too. I was looking at that Taichi though, read some reviews and apparently its pretty solid - seems to have the strongest VRM cascade from current crop, if i understood that right? And i like its stealthy looks :-D
At other hand, it only has single 8-pin, when ASUS boards have at least 8+4 - will that be issue with HCC chip? Not that i am going for some insane overclocks - my plans are to activate XMP (hopefully it will work cause with my BW-E its unstable 8x8 3000 sticks) and activate MCE (does Taichi have that too BTW?) Maybe i will try to increase mesh clock to 2,8-3 GHz too. Thats i presume or better said hope is what my 240mm AiO could still handle.
So, any recommendations?
