I secured the Cascade Lake X (paper launch CPU) for me.
I've shared some updates about locating a Cascade Lake X CPU. All retailers list zero availability and describe it as a paper announcement. I stumbled upon one via a third-party seller with a modest price increase, and I managed to secure one. I plan to attempt overclocking later and am hoping for a noticeable single-core speed boost compared to my 7800X @4.50GHz. (Multicore would be a clear upgrade, so that’s not a concern.) I’ll share the results in a future edit. For your office setup, I’m looking for a workstation primarily for Adobe AE and Photoshop. Recommendations: CPU and GPU options should lean toward Ryzen, though any capable unit will likely cover most needs. Edit: This thing consumes a lot of power! I'm also struggling to push it to 5GHz across all cores. To top it off, I’m having difficulty reaching a stable 4.8GHz single-core speed without overclocking. I assumed tuning all cores to a single boosted frequency would be straightforward...
