$580!! Great, that will be something like $7,756 Canadian.
That's like 80% higher than a R7 2700x ..for that price it better game better than a 7700k and multitask like a 12 core Threadripper ... that can't possibly be the price ...
I also don't get the 95w TDP. Now that Intel bases its TDP solely on base frequencies, this thing with 4.7 all core boost, will need probably close to double that in cooling else it will be throttle city and won't perform nearly as expected.
That said, I would like to see some benchmarks on something like 20 minute WPrime run with a relatively inexpensive air cooler, so we can gauge where the performance cutoff will be on the cooling end. There's so many facets to real benchmarking that go out the window because everyone is "rushing" the reviews or the manufacturer is "guiding" the testing done.
Just look at the Threadripper 299WX game performance issue. No one even noticed that the issue was entirely nvidia's fault because the 1080Ti that almost no one owns is the only card tested ... Hardware Canucks used to have by far the most thorough reviews, but now they don't write them and their videos usually aren't as "full" as their written articles used to be. I miss those old reviews done right.
