News Intel Core i9-10990XE Could Have Higher TDP Than AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X

Well, I think I should respond with the same that I used in response to "Intel 10-Core Comet Lake-S CPU Could Suck Up To 300W"

"But sir, this thing is so thermonuclear its a danger to even test it in our labs!"
"Take it to the Amazon jungle then and test it there! What could be the harm?"

But seriously, 380w TDP for 22 cores is too much ... waaay too much (500w at the socket under full AVX load?). I assume nothing but a custom loop would work with this thing ... maybe they'll sell 100 if they price it at $1000.
