Intel i9-10X processor availablity?

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. :)
Cool Let us know My mate pulled Trigger for One yesterday for upgrade in one of workstations cause Cant drop new TR in hes second workstation :(

So waiting or news whats the ETA :)
 
@Gibbo You heard any news about ETA of them toys ?? We been looking around and seen being listed in some places 20...2020 lol :S

Hi mate

Had a good meeting with Intel yesterday, showed them that we have already pre-sold over 50 of the 10980Xe processor and they said based on our performance out ranking anyone else in UK and Europe we shall be the priority place and are pushing to get us some stock for next week potentially and enough to cover all our orders, so fingers crossed.

We always come up trumps, got a few 3950X planned in too land as well, again were getting way more than anywhere else in UK, potentially Europe too. :)

Cool Ill let him know He's hyped for new toy :) Thanks for info.
 
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.

Actually TR3 is rated for 3200Mhz, they are literally underclocking the RAM on the TR3 system, its not AMD's fault the Intel system can only run 2933Mhz, why the #### bother putting the R&D in to run something faster if you're just going to underclock it because you don't think its fair that the competition can't run it at the same speed?

"CPU X is faster than CPU Y, that's not fair so lets gimp CPU X"

We are back to the AthlonXP days where there is a lot of shady #### going on because Intel are unhappy with coming second.
 
So did AMD actually beat Intel in getting the latest HEDT chip into retail as well?

Agreed. When testing they should be run at their rated specs.
 
There is another reason a lot of these larger reviewers are throwing their CPU samples back at Intel in anger, Its not just all the NDA shenanigans, Intel are trying to put pressure on reviewers to play ball with Intel's "Real world performance benchmarking" crap, you know, that #### where Intel would rather reviewers benchmark Windows Media Player instead of Cinbench or Blender, those reviewers are flat out refusing because their audience are not stupid, a lot of bridges are being burned but those reviewers have no choice stuck between their 'not stupid' audience and Intel's damage control.

The poo was always going to hit the fan if AMD ever came back at Intel strong, and it has, the same will happen if AMD ever come back like this at nVidia.

If I had unlimited cash my personal money would go on a 3960X or 3970X and if my budget was tighter I'd buy a 3700X, 3800X or 3900X all the way, cores outwin frequency and AMD's IPC and efficiency is forever improving with new updates coming all the time.

They are doing in CPU as they do with GPU, they improve like fine wines, whereas their competition just gets slower with age typically due to poor driver updates on past architectures or security updates.
 
If AMD ever come back like this at nVidia.

Well maybe Nvidia should take a lesson from Intel's play book and burn it? The one where the didn't bother to innovate of move forward for a decade. Then Nvidia will have nothing to worry about, regardless of how hard AMD push they should theoretically never catch up.

you need the 18 cores for media player:) cant have anything less:)

But Iv'e allways said we need competion And amd have finally given intel competion across the baord on there cpu's. shame the dirty tactics come out And u see how down right nasty it can get. But do we really think if it wasn't for amd with ryzen and threadripper intel would have pushed there cpu's up from 4 core to 8 core on main stream and not just pass another 10 core off on HEDT? I like competion and i like ot have a choice in which i buy and hopfully it will contuine.

I really cant remember where i saw it - but it was 2017 when at least 1 review site said that thanks to the focus shifting away from retail desktop , that if Ryzen was actually any good, it would be 2021 before Intel had an answer (given the problems then with 10nm)

Complacency on Intel's part, they should have known better, AMD are a VERY capable company, they can do with $1 what it takes Intel $1000.

Well maybe Nvidia should take a lesson from Intel's play book and burn it? The one where the didn't bother to innovate of move forward for a decade. Then Nvidia will have nothing to worry about, regardless of how hard AMD push they should theoretically never catch up.

Agreed. but now that AMD have some R&D to play with they will come back with some good GPU's, they might not beat nVidia but IMO they will be far more competitive than they are now.

5700XT is the mid range part and the reaction from nvidia was the panic launch of the `super` range - big navi isnt here yet

Yes, but lets not forget Nvidia haven't even bothered dropping down to 7nm parts yet. So the 'panic' wasn't really a panic, it was a how long can we string out ripping off people for and making oodles of cash for manoeuvre.

This, nVidia are not really trying. Yet, AMD will come back at them but unlike Intel nVidia will be ready for it.

Heres a thought - will big navi actually be short lived? AMD could launch big navi in January, Nv come back with RTX 3xxx, then AMD have 5xxx refresh (similar to ryzen 1xxx to 2xxx), Next year could well be very interesting from a GPU perspective

*speculation*

AMD will do a big Navi with the RDNA2 architecture on 7nm+, it will surpass RTX 2080TI by 20% but nVidia will move to 7nm+ themselves and come right back at AMD with an even faster card.

You know what, that's fine by me, AMD don't have to do to nVdia what they did to Intel, they just have to get back to being competitive.
