  • Intel Core i9-10980XE 18 Core / 36 Thread - $999?
  • Intel Core i9-10960X 16 Core / 32 Thread - $800?
  • Intel Core i9-10940X 14 Core / 28 Thread - $700?
  • Intel Core i9-10920X 12 Core / 24 Thread - $600?
  • Intel Core i9-10900X 10 Core / 20 Thread - $500?
It will be interesting to see what the new series' prices will be. Upto 2.09x performance per dollar improvement over the 9000X series.

Wait, you are willing to pay 500$ for the 10 core but you find the 3900X expensive?

It is much harder to negotiate with intel from the consumer position about the pricing.
And the LGA 2066 is the better platform - quad-channel memory, more PCIe lanes..... Or at least the one that I'd target in all other equal conditions.

I am wondering - since when have AMD's CPUs become as expensive as intel's?
Maybe, the last time it was 15 years ago, back in 2004, no?

Anyways....
The 10-core 9820X is right now £800, maybe we will be lucky to get the new 10-core for £400-£450?

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £808.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)​

If the new 10 core will take on that price . . . AMD will dominate HEDT for good while.

I doubt their CPUs with "glue-inside" are as reliable. Imagine the 24-core Threadripper with 4! chiplets (3 8-core dies + 1 cIOd). The more chiplets a SKU has, the higher the likelihood there is a defect somewhere.

This is with glue.

Hahaha. This entire post is basically saying it's okay for Intel to be expensive.

You want to negotiate with AMD on pricing? Is that what you do?

You're an Intel shill and everyone in this this forum knows that now. There is no need to try and hide that anymore.
 
Intel i9 10920X 12 Core CPU Benchmark Leaked, Crushes AMD’s Threadripper 2920X

https://wccftech.com/intel-i9-10920x-12-core-cpu-benchmark-leaked-crushes-amds-threadripper-2920x/

If only they had some actual information to divulge.
A leaked benchmark, no pricing, no delivery, no actual data.
The geekbench data is seriously flawed also, as I looked up geekbench 4 results for the 2920, and the figures range all over the place, but seems vastly high that WTFtech are quoting.
 
Wonder if they will mention the 3900x taking the 10920x out the back and putting a couple of slugs in the back of its head?

Not a good time to be an intel HEDT fan :p

We know the 3900X and 3950X will be match for these. X299 needs to go away now.
Since you asked

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14732665

That's 3900X stock on Win10 , 5863 single core, 50746 multi core. Compared to 5339 & 44046 of the 10920X.

And made Win10 bold because on Linux stock 3900X runs wild with ~20% higher multi core and ~10% on single core, on average.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?dir=desc&q=3900X&sort=multicore_score

FYI the 10980XE 18 core 36 thread
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/14641176

Surely something is off as it cannot be less than 2% faster than the 3900X in multicore, given that the 9980XE is ~15-18% faster in multicore. (though has 50% more cores actually)

10th gen upgrades coming

Intel announces a new Microsoft update coming soon will boost how cores are selected for instructions. The update helps CPUs that use Turbo Boost such as the upcoming Intel 10th gen Lake X and Core desktop parts.

intel "claims" the update delivers 15% better single thread performance

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...erformance-via-favored-cpu-core-optimization/

Not just 10th gen:

For Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the following CPUs are supported:

  • Intel® Core™ i7-69xx/68xx Processor Family
  • Intel® Core™ i9-7900X/i9-7920X/i9-7940X/i9-7960X/i9-7980XE/i7-7820X/i7-9800X
  • Intel® Core™ i9-9820X/i9-99x0XE/i9-99x0X
  • Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1600 v4 Product Family (single-socket only)
  • Intel 10th Generation CPUs

This is very interesting, and I wonder if the update will account for some of the gap between Linux based scores and windows based scores.
It is possible that all chips will see this boost, but it might simply be that intel have steered their new chips towards the single core boost, as that is where they hope to show some signs of progress, the multi complete lost.
