Out pacing the crazy priced £1500 6950X, for a mere £320..

BUT... Remember we must compare only against gaming VS the 7700K high clocked quad core xD
 
I just discovered the OC tab, motherboard auto tunes. My god does it fly !!

Any real enthusiast should have a play with these imho.

Shame bias will get in he way for some. Oh well xD

No, you can only play games on Intel's quad cores remember. Remember to set to 720P and aim for 250FPS low graphical settings. That's the only way to play games.

We must all remember Synthetics, real world programs situations. Benchmarks, workstation and pricing oh and TDP stuff are irrelevant, Intel wins at 720P at that is the ONLY thing that counts.

Wait only tested for 30 seconds? Who the hell games for 30 seconds?

No wonder more and more people prefer the YouTube reviewers where they show side by side gameplay with all the Afterburner information; along with frame time and variance.

Great stuff
:) yep does not matter that its £1280 opps £1180 cheaper its a fail as it loses to the 4 c 8t 7700 @ 320x 200 res @ 1000fps + :)
 
I'm seeing a lot of people hypothesizing that the 1600x, as a gaming chip, won't clock too much higher, if any, from what we've seen from the 7 series. With this in mind, is it really worth buying over the 1700? I'm at a point right now where I'm waiting for the 1600x, but seeing the gaming results of the 7 series I would rather pay a little bit extra and take the 8 cores, with potentially similar gaming results to what the 1600x will deliver.

What are peoples' personal opinion on the 1600x's potential overclocking abilities, based off of what we have seen so far?

Rumours starting that ASUS may have pulled the hero from sale.

Mainly stemming from Amazon taking them off preorder, so could literally just be supply issue.

I've just checked and it is indeed showing as unavailable.
