From the reviews I've seen 7900X is slower in single-threaded tasks, not much faster (sometimes not at all) in multi-threaded ones, and practically double the price. In what way would it be better?

They aren't running at 90°C in actual non-stress testing programs though, right?

My overclocked 2700X hovers around 55 degrees gaming, 65ish doing handbrake, water cooled.
However, if the higher temperatures are within spec on the 9900k, does it really matter? (does seem quite hot though)

Dg the intel shill trying to convince himself that 90c territory on a 360 AIO with a SOLDERED IHS is fine.
Meanwhile outside of planet dg....
It’s not though. OC3D for example were at 64ish stock and 80 on a OC with a AIO (280mm).
Plenty of other sites had temps in the mid 90's, hardocp being one.
Huh? Did you watch the video? Replacing the solder with high quality thermal paste resulted in significantly higher temperatures. Unless you want to go for liquid metal there is no reason to delid.So you need to delid a CPU with solder now?? Sorry,but Intel is much bigger than AMD,and they still can't engineer a thermal interface solution which needs no intervention by a third party to improve??
They seem to even unable to include a decent stock cooler with this,that AMD does, so its £500 to £600 plus an expensive cooler.
I honestly hope AMD does not release a 2800X,and join Intel in the ludicrous wars. It might actually do more damage than good methinks!
Well,I suppose being the best knows no boundaries,LOL!

Can't help but feel how this would have been on 10nm node .
2nd gen... 1st would have been 8th gen ...
Intel reminding me of Kodak .. how the once mighty can fall and fall hard .. apple would have been the same had they not pushed through with iPod and then Samsung heads doing a good job to shoot themselves in the foot . Thinks it's Intel's turn to do some soul searching ...
Have no doubt this will sell well... It will, I have no doubt this will make Ryzen sell well... More win for AMD the Intel would like as they are half the price but hopefully more cash into R&D... Specially AMD.. their PR budget is just useless haha
Still no VRM reviews and heat guns.. will see why z390 is beefed up... Needs it !

103You would think it would start to throttle around the mid 90's.
Apparently the new limit for that is 115.
So there is the potential now (all be it slim) to boil the water in your AIO and cause an explosion of boiling water seriously injuring you.
Lawsuit time.
Delid and lap the die for a good 16 or so C saving!!!!!!103

You must be rubbing your hands with glee at the thought of £1200+ 9900k Lapped Delidded 5.3ghz+ CPU's hahaha
They are pushing the silicon really beyond it’s limit though so what should we expect?
Realistically they could have dialled the core clocks back and had an 8 core 16 thread cpu that wasn't a smouldering volcano to cool. But they went with the "moar mhz" approach and in turn got a cpu that can operate at the temp of boiling water.

Hardware Unboxed say its not good trying to run it on a Z370 mobo either? not surprised, i did say the VRMs would struggle.

So I have a 8pack binned delidded 8700k@ 5.1, this a worthy upgrade for me?
