What the heck is the i9 10980XE ?
i9-9980XE recommended cost is $2000 i9-10980XE suggested price is $1000 So for half the cost you receive something a bit quicker. A bit of logic is coming back to the top tier. I’m sure upgrading this in the fall. When compared to a 5960X with 64GB RAM it will be a solid investment—I plan to increase to at least 128GB RAM! Since I work with ray tracing and optical design, the additional cores and memory will make a big difference for me.
Yes I know about the price, its a great deal. The 9980XE prices will adjust next month and go down a thousand bucks or so. Dude for what you do, the 10980XE @ 4.8Ghz using TB 3.0 will crush anything you do and is worthy upgrade for you. Some people dont do the sh*T you do and upgrade for gaming performance LOL. A HEDT and gaming performance means the user has no idea wtf hes doing ya know. Sure I game but not as much as Im on the desktop. Maybe 80 percent desktop and 20 percent gaming. Im gonna grab the 10980XE for sure as the 4.8Ghz will beat out a 9900k single core performance and you got 18 of those babies 36 threads....I had a Athlon XP long long time ago and that is my last AMD. I can't trust them. Im a Intel and nVidia guy. Also FYI,, the 10980XE @ 4.8Ghz will give the 3950x a beating. All benchmarks you see are the 10980XE pegged at 3Ghz stock speed. So forget about benchmarks. I will put a review up when I upgrade to it along with a Aorus Master x299e and 64GB RAM and what not.
The 10980xe will underperform compared to the 9980xe and even worse than the 7980xe, as ipc drops and performance suffers from the hardware updates. Still, it seems like someone is considering a X299 Master—maybe expecting the 9900K to consume more power than this model.
Sorry to point that out, but your information is incorrect. The 10980XE features a Turbo Boost of 3.0 at 4.8Ghz. The 9980XE runs between 4.4 to 4.6Ghz. Its clock speed is about 10 to 15 percent higher than the previous model. Intel also mentioned you can push it up to 5.1Ghz, which will definitely outpace the 9900K single-core performance. Picture 18 of these in action—benchmarks have shown that multi-threaded CPUs at 4.8Ghz can match or exceed a 5Ghz single-core speed. Keep an eye on reviews and upcoming benchmarks. Also, the 79xx series falls far short compared to the 9980XE or 10980XE.
