Intel Cannonlake, Cascade Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake & Sapphire Rapid thread

intel used chiplets more than 10 years ago, and they actually scaled. Core 2 Quad was faster than Core 2 Duo.

Even going through the NB the Core 2 Quads had fairly low core to core latency - Intel has all the R&D for chiplets, etc. mostly it has been a mix of trickling out advances to consumers and problems with their 10nm node that have stalled things.
 
Gigabyte shows off new X299X motherboards for Cascade Lake X launch

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-x299x-motherboard-cascade-lake-x-cpus-intel,40536.html

Including the Ultra high end X299X waterforce - with a HUGE waterblock that cools the CPU, 16 phase VRM, Chipset and M2 Drives!

Yeah that Aorus Waterforge is really great looking board. And tbh X299 always had great motherboards, and trust me I greatly regret not getting a 7900X back in 2017 when had opportunity, with an EVGA X299 Dark.
 
The comparisons for the 10bla bla blas should be Threadripper 3 as thats what everyone is going to be buying anyway.
And i dont think it is going to be a good laugh for team blue. A slaughter maybe.

well i'm not considering threadripper for a mainly gaming system
 
I'm doubtful that a 10920XE at 5.2Ghz and pulling nearly 500W will match an auto overclocked 9900K @4.9 or a Ryzen 3700X / 3800X / 3900X / 3950X with IF 1900 / DDR4 3800 in gaming.

It probably won't beat the 3900X (or any TR4 3xxx chip) in anything except workloads relying heavily on AVX 512 and Photoshop / Premiere (because they're dinosauric piles of xxxx).

Those chips are running 100C at just 4.3Ghz and 360mm radiator to themselves. Trying to do 4.5Ghz let alone 5Ghz would be a challenge.

Also we see already that the 7920X is left behind already by the 3900X and in many cases the 9980XE also.

Here is a nice review using also 9980XE & 7920X.

Now add 4 more cores to see where the 3950X would be against them. Even the 10980XE looks grim.

I can't imagine Threadripper is going to fair much better, I am sure both with need decent water, so temps not an issue really.
 
They actually thought these names were intelligent? What the hell are they thinking? I do hope this is the last we see of such ridiculous naming conventions. Clearly rattled.
