Which is still to expensive don't ya think ?

I take it you was already on that platform/Socket ?

Yes, it’s expensive but it’s also cheaper than their previous generation it does have its uses over TR though as I do have both.

I literally cannot think what.

Unless you already have a X299 platform to just drop in an "upgrade", if you need brute force single-thread performance then buy a 9900KS. Hell, a 9700K and clock the **** off it.

There are uses but they are very niche.

1) You already have a x299 system and just want a few more cores for as little money as possible.
2) You need lots of lanes but can't afford a 3960x
3) You already have a big custom water loop and a massive powersupply and the only way to get value out of is to stick a great overclocking chip in it like the 10980xe because all core 5ghz 10980xe is a monster - but it's only worth it if you already have the parts on hand, it's not worth building a rig to overclock cascade lake x.
4) You only use your PC for the apps that are traditionally optimized for Intel (like Adobe products) - funny enough though, apps that are Intel optimized tend to heavily focus on single core, so a overclocked 9900k is fantastic for it, you don't really need HEDT unless of course you need all the lanes.

Clocked up on serious cooling it's a fantastic ultra-high end gaming cpu. It's also faster in Premiere, Photoshop, etc. which are going to be more used than Blender by the gamer/creator crowd. Obviously at stock it's not an exciting cpu anymore (let's face it, it's basically a 2017 re-release with very slight changes) but it has a far greater overclocking ceiling than TR/Ryzen3 and if you look at GN's reviews of 10980xe/3970x for example, you'll see that even at 4.9Ghz it's sometimes beating a [email protected] in gaming and an overclcoked 3970X in Premiere. And that's 4.9Ghz - some of us would take it much further.

I may get a Threadripper 3 rig for grinding tasks but a 7980XE/10980Xe machine will still be my 'main' system.

^^ Yeah that's pretty much what my list was hehe. If you have a custom loop ready to go without requiring further investment, a 10980xe can work well. For the programms that like Intel which you mentioned (everything Adobe makes) - they run sweet on a 9900k, only need cascade lake x for lanes then.

Indeed, I'd already clicked reply before your post was up :) Mind you, I do think that the 10980XE's price seems to rise and rise and now approach the cost of the 9980XE. But the 9980XE was priced in a world before Threadripper 3. For Intel to still ask £1500 is rather ambitious since the market has clearly changed - it's disappointing that the $999 stuff that they claimed on launch didn't come to fruition at all.

As for Adobe, however - it's true that Photoshop runs just about fine on a 9900K anyway (and for that matter on AMD too) but that's not true of Premiere. I've had projects that would take many hours more to render on a 9900K. Same for After Effects. Puget Systems is a good review site that has generally put the sweet spot for Premiere at 14-16 cores; however, in complex projects the overclocked 18-core tends to still come up tops. That's been my own experience, too.

The 28-core 3175X is also a monster in Premiere, so there's clearly some scaling still going and we'll see how the 64core TR does when it hits (good chance it'll take the crown there).

Intel Core i9-10900K to boost up to 5.3 GHz

"It appears that guys over at Informatica Cero leaked the most interesting slides for the Intel CPU market in 2020. Intel Core i9-10900K/i7-10700K/i5-10600K (K Series) The most high-end CPU in the Comet Lake-S lineup is the Core i9-10900K CPU with 10 cores and 20 threads. This part is confirmed to be 125W TDP SKU. This processor will feature clocks of 3.7 GHz to 5.2 GHz in boost."

The official clock is 3.7ghz base, 5.1ghz single core boost, 4.9ghz all core boost and 5.3ghz velocity boost.

This "velocity boost" is something new, there is no information on it. I suspect it's Intel trying to copy AMD by letting the clocks run up to 5.3ghz if the power delivery and temps allows for it - like a self overclock.

We already know the 125w TDP is pointless - 125w is with all 10 cores sitting at base 3.7ghz. Pretty sure this thing is going to exceed 200w under full load out of the box and at least 300w if you try to overclock it.

The 10900k may be the first consumer mainstream CPU that cannot be air cooled - at least that I know of.

Apparently it existed on Mobile (2nd link is 2018) but not desktop CPU but differs.

Is someone gouging the crap out of these? Wasn't the 10980XE the $1000 part?

Yet again ocuk are the most expensive retailer, I’ve seen this £300 cheaper, it’s one of the reasons I order elsewhere now.

My 2080Ti I bought last week cost me £1160, the same card is £1499 on ocuk lol...

hahahahahahahaha
Intel really should finally admit their TDP ratings are utter gibberish.
