It's really weird that we are not seing shit yet
If it is in fact going to be SOLD in 3 weeks, not only would I expect the ability to pre-order the CPUs and motherboards, I'd definitely expect reviews by some of the big sites.Kinda hoping that we see more leaks soon. If the 8700k is getting released early next month you would think there are a lot of them floating around in warehouses at this point.
Regardless if these are real or not, why would anyone buy $2000 cpu to play games ? And an 8700K would probably equal or best these at less than 1/4th the cost.Intel® Core™ i9-7980XE 4.5GHz PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS fps

Notice how none of your post has anything to do with AMD, but somehow someway for some reason the regular defense team came out at full force.7980XE

What if you want to play games sometimes, and do other things that require a lot of cores/threads at other times? Or what if you want to do multiple things (i.e. gaming + streaming + perhaps other stuff) at the same time?
Yeah, I call bull. Skylake-X has been consistently slower than Kaby Lake in gaming. A larger chip of the same principles won't change that.
Mega-tasking, you mean?What if you want to play games sometimes, and do other things that require a lot of cores/threads at other times? Or what if you want to do multiple things (i.e. gaming + streaming + perhaps other stuff) at the same time?

cpu.
I rather doubt larger L3 makes the difference. Diminishing returns should hit pretty damn hard at that point.Bigger L3 cache (overclocked, to boot) + ultra-fast memory could help substantially.
Yep. Why not get a 6c cl for high freq gaming and an 32c epyc for your real work? If you are to fork out 2000 for a cpu 350 extra makes no difference. Especially as you can tailor ram to the specific need eg low latency high freq for the gaming vs high capacity for the pro rig. PUBL is a programming mess and a oc cl 6c with low latency ram will beat any sklx hands down. At framerates that is very perceptible. Its a dip fest game. People throwing smoke grenades just to lower opponents fps. LolLarge L3 cache did make a difference on 5960X and 6950X in a few cases in games. But yeah, diminishing returns.
Anyway Coffeelake would appear to make more sense for your average desktop gamer.
lol...yeah...something like that....I guess the moderators here let a lot of the AMD vs Intel stuff go (not telling you how to do your jobs fwiw, just an observation).
Sometimes it is the reason we get new things. In this case I think so.Cannon Lake-S was supposed to have 8 cores on 10nm, but it was cancelled due to the 10nm issues. Coffee was added to the roadmap years ago as a stopgap.
This, "AMD is the only reason we get good stuff from Intel" meme is getting real old, real fast.
Intel, and most companies want to get as much revenue as possible with as little investment as possible (in the long term of course)Sometimes it is the reason we get new things. In this case I think so.
This is in part because Intels cpus were already good enough core count wise.
I think where those argument turns in to straight up idiocy, is when people argue Intel stagnated growth and grew complacent.
Intel has zero reason to not push their cpus as fast as possible.
They definitely have a reason to not give you free cores.
Intel has always been pushing performance just because they don't want to destroy their margins by giving away more cores unnecessarily doesn't mean they aren't pushing performance.
