Consumer mainstream chips with 1700 pins, it looks expensive! Considering what amd are doing with just 1331 pins on the mainstream im asking myself if this design choice is smart. It appears to me that it's basically a hedt size chip to compete in the mainstream where traditionally you would have chips around that 1200 to 1400 pins. I really want them to be making compelling stuff but im not sure this is the way to go for mainstream sockets. It's interesting and im looking forward to seeing and getting my hands on it to play with but one thing it isn't looking right now is that compelling.

Very true, it does also say that PCI-e5.0 and DDR5 are ‘rumoured’ to be featured aswell.
