The previous range of i9-9x processors are now out of stock. The i9-10x range are on Intel's site, but not in the channel. Any ideas on availability?

Think best bet is to wait till later today when ThreadRipper parts are released. From what it sounds like they sound like bc a much better buy

10X is a terrible buy. Ryzen and TR offer better or equal performance for much better value and X299 is a dead end platform.

10X still keep 165W TDP, while TR goes through the roof up to 280W. Also, it changes the socket from TR4 to TRX4. And we don't know if TRX4 will live. I guess not.

I would consider the 10X.

DDR5 , always been the definite time line at least for desktop and most like HEDT lines. even intel will be having a new chip. Reason why AMD changed socket pin location is part of what Intel does- voltages but also to enable ram channels for chiplet design along with handling more cores, i mean going from 16 cores to 32 and then to 64 is insane in 3 years!

and then PCIe 4.0

also intel will have to adapt to the above . x299 socket has had a lot of CPU lines but they arent what you call design changes like Zen to Zen2

Plus intel and amd make money for chipset sales ontop of CPUs- simple

have to wait to Puget Systems do a review on it- prob best site for honest reviews of GPUs and CPUs for workloads etc

resolve- using 16 cores x570 vs x299x

If you dont need huge PCIe 4.0 coverage then 16 core ryzen with x570 mid range board - saves a ton of cash. If it is for a business and looking at future 8k content, 24 core it up!

Have you seen the power consumption of an overclocked 10980?

AM4 will live though. 3950 a much better choice imo.

Dual-channel memory? It will be a limiting factor in such workloads which benefit from quad-channel memory, etc.

TRX4 is fast but also is very expensive. LGA2066 is slower but also more energy efficient and ultimately much cheaper.

You would be better off with a 3950X and a cheap board.

And ofc you do need a good PSU, as the 10980XE burns quite a lot of power when overclocked.

+400W!!!!

How about keeping it at stock? :confused:
By same comparison, overclocked Threadripper 3rd will burn 800W+.

At stock the 10980xe is a terrible value against the 3950x. The platform cost is also higher.

If OC'd with with good water cooling the 10980xe does well. The platform cost gets even higher.

Compared to new TR, if a 3950x can handle a 10980xe stock for stock, the TR variants will outright kill it.

There are very few cases for a 10980xe but they do exist.

geomapping, Pixel4D - all currently run Intel- Problem is stage 3 is very Heavily based on Storage . x299x can only handle PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 would be much better though currently controllers aren't full speed.

Lol AMD Threadripper new Gen just made anything in Intel HEDT irrelevant... its extinction level of humiliation.... you'd have to be utterly bonkers now to buy an Intel HEDT chip
