Intel i9-10X processor availablity?

[smilingcrow]

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

Generally it's a massacre unless you require AVX512 all day with a free room heater thrown in!

Gen 10 has just been blitzed from orbit.

Christ TR3 has obliterated it.

And to think, there’s an even bigger TR coming next year. God knows what that one will be capable of!

Casket Lake as some put it, a true DOA.

Why did that Puget systems review , use very slow ram for the AMD rig? It used 2933 for Intel (its rated speed for the i9-10900X), but the same ram for AMD, when TR3 is rated to 3200?

Trying to cripple the performance. There are 3600Mhz ram reviews with the TR3 out there.

reviewers like to do Apple vs Apple comparison. You ask why cripple threadripper the next person will say why give threadripper the edge with faster ram man!
If everything was equal using the rated specs would be fine but there not and so many people think that using same ram speed is the fairest way to test. And ofc we live in a intel tech world so there specs are used.

They will have used the maximum official speed supported for the number of modules used at that capacity with however many ranks.

If you were running 256GB (8x 32GB dual rank) the maximum official supported sped is 2666MHz, as an example.

watched jayz2cent earlier, think he stuck ram at 3800 and infinity fabric to match

feed the beast

Thank you, I very much appreciate advice from this forum & would be lost without it. However in this thread, I was just asking availability. If I had been asking which chip I should get, I would definitely be taking everything on board. I don't want to upset people, but I just feel that AMD is a touch less unreliable. I've never dealt with them, I don't understand their systems. All my computers have been Intel, they generally have solid reliability. To be fair, the review didn't infer Intel was rubbish - just not as quick in most situations. I need my pc to be 100% reliable. Zero trouble, zero downloading updates to fix problems with a new product. I've some concerns about the i9-10x also being new, but it seems along the same tech as the i9-9x.

I still don't really understand what an HEDT is.

Edit:

I only do light gaming. At most, something like No Man's Sky, otherwise light stuff to relax like Two Point Hospital. I'd not intend to overclock & would be using air cooling.

Main usage: Premier Pro editing 4k H.264 & H.265, in future, 6k ProRes & Cinema DNG. Lightroom/Photoshop. Maybe After Effects in future.

Given all the security vulnerabilities that keep getting discovered with the blue teams CPU's then Intel is not for you if need don't want to spend time updating your PC.

depends if one cares about security maybe workstation not hooked up to internet ??

Availability is worse than 3950X so far!

Intel are visiting tomorrow so I shall be pushing for more information, they are now available on our site for pre-order.

Thats a `yikes` then oO

Intel wont make many, they know they're a tough sell.

We already have demand for them from our corporate customers so opposite for us.

Wait what ?? Hows that even possible oO.

Ah yes, the corporate morons. If they're looking for drop-in CPUs on existing X299 boards then fair enough, but if they're buying new then they seriously need coaching. Or shooting.

Thanks. Is that pricing correct or just an estimate? You're over Ingram Micro at the moment. Although to be fair, their ETA is 1/1/21 !

Of course were more expensive than Ingram Micro, they are a masti distrubutor and end users cannot buy from them, you need to have a trade account. This is a retail store.
Our stock is coming from Ingram and their ETA is a guess, they have no clue and shall be over to Intel to shed more light on situation.
