No. Skylake-X took a step back in gaming IPC from Broadwell-E. It clearly is a workhorse CPU and nothing more.
Gaming doesn't seem to need any new CPU. Workstations do. Any new and better platform (CPU + HBM) is sorely needed for image processing, signal processing, computational finance, computational fluid dynamics, artificial intelligence, astronomy, theoretical physics and standard model, computer aided design, computational finance and option pricing, high frequency trading, etc. I'm tired of running simulations for several days only to discover that I screwed up some freaking parameter and need to rerun it from scratch. If gaming is all people do, the world looks so one dimensional, so "nothing more" phrase is more applicable to gaming not workstations. It's not about Intel or AMD. I welcome both TR and SKL-X whichever solves my problem best.
Edit: This is not to object to your statement. Just a call for performance that was abandoned by all these companies in the prior years.
