Who's buying Skylake-X? (You may now change your vote)

Well, you seriously claimed that 1800X would OC to 4.3Ghz, so i guess it does. Wait, it does not? I guess you really need that knowledge, then. Does not work that way, sadly, AVX stability and non-AVX stability are apples and oranges. So, just fire up both AVX and non-AVX versions of prime for...

Roman mentioned they are basically doing a recall on those to fix VRM/heatsink situation.

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

Uh, they will in spec. The issue arises when you do anything related to overclocking. Possible, but as was said, they are still fine for running stock, just hilariously bad for any OC. It's not Panic, it's Chaos. We've first seen it with renaming of Skylake refresh as Kaby Lake.

Yes, it has 2.7Ghz base clock and 3.4Ghz all core turbo as you mentioned, doesn't it? But as it is, Intel will set clocks exactly high enough for it to beat TR in AMD's benchmark of choice, that's pretty straight forward. That's a curious case and it all comes down to this question: why does...

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

Evidently it is not an issue at all since Intel used TIM on their highest TDP chips for last 3 or something years. I guess public really does not care about temperatures... not too surprising either. Yes, it is, but while you're correct that $25M is not very significant in the face of billions...

Unlocked CPUs ignore power limits. Oh please, it will take more than that for any quality X299 board VRM to explode.

Last time i checked we were talking highest end SKU. Intel's highest end desktop SKU was a 3Ghz base clock since Haswell-E. Well, that's another good point about power consumption: thermals. Got me thinking, both AMD for Vega and Intel for SKL-X outright claimed they are to be used with liquid...

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

Now consider for a second how many people will seriously not purchase a given CPU because it did not have solder. Seriously. I would be very surprised if it added up to even 100000 total. In the end, even with bad press and all, it's clearly the profitable move for Intel.

Yes, their marketing does care to be the first, the largest, the newest et cetera et cetera. But the important part for them is to formally satisfy those adjectives, for money and ego. Providing product an enthusiast would value in every regard is not even on the list. Technically 18 core part...

Exactly, what are you doing in this thread? It's not, Ryzen stack has set similar record before. In Ryzen's case inferior perf/watt costs more money though. Intel. Does. Not. Care. About. Enthusiasts. I don't know why i have to repeat it every time everyone pretends to be baffled about Intel...

Kentsfield is different. If you want that story, look up magny cours. Precisely: Core 2 did not have IMC, you had 1 memory controller for every core even if you put 4 dies on a package. (or rather 2 packages with 2 dies, see Skulltrail). At what clocks? Go, try and guess the clocks, i'll wait.

6950X had 3.5Ghz Turbo 2.0 single core and 3.3Ghz all core, last time i checked. That fits perfectly with what i expect 7980X to have, you know. Because it has more throughput on 7900X. AVX512 and AVX2 should use similar amounts of power on 7820X/7800X for example. And yeah, since uncore is...

Once again, Intel had a semi-custom 20C 200W TDP SKU with 3.2Ghz base clock. Since SKL-X visibly has better voltage/freq curve than BDW-E, i would be very surprised if they did not manage to fit 18C 3-3.2Ghz (their typical base clock for highest end SKU in the past) into 165W, especially with...

Intel already got away with 2679v4, 470ish (or whatever BDW 24c die was) sq.mm. 200W TDP CPU in this package, so Intel are hardly crazy. Now, Intel may be crazy if they think they will get away with bad assembly process they look to repeat once again on these. Why would they be reflected? I...
