From what I've seen so far, it reinforces my opinion to hold off on an upgrade until the fall and see what's best. I believe that once TR is released, there will be a price war. At any rate, I am very concerned with the temps I've seen and hope the reviews next week put my mind at ease.
Between what will you be deciding? I was hell-bent on getting a 7820X or maybe even a 7900X, however I've just taken two steps back, you know, to let sanity get back in, to see what Monday brings and let myself get back to where I started my quest: wanting a (Intel) more than 4C chip with HT for gaming (=high frequency) and it may very well be CFL-S that's the best fit for my needs. Maybe Intel will surprise us with an 8C part?
8C is the new 4C for sure. That's why I am hoping that Intel will release an 8C/16T Coffee Lake-S part with a nice big fat L3 cache (15MB would be nice), it would also benefit their mainstream market seeing as the competition has just that. So it's hoping that, but doubting they will. It would make for a more logical segmentation as well: leave HEDT for the prosumers and the mainstream for gamers and below, with the 8C/16T chip they deserve.
