You don't need either of these for computer games for the foreseeable future.

Anyhow, it seems like on the new Intel platform, mainboards can apparently be very broadly specified in terms of what they support and don't support.

And Linus mentioned they had the idiotic idea to sell keys to enable hardware RAID functionality at a premium, too.

Just stick with i7 x700k lineup or Ryzen 7
Everything else is useless unless you're rendering 4k videos n shit

It seemed to me like mainboards have to support the highest tier CPUs, meaning the CPU you put into them gets to dictate what's actually supported.

What exactly do you do? Neither CPU is really meant for consumer use.

i9 series is cancer. Watch the LTT vid on it(I hate that guys channel but it's actually a really good rundown). I would say wait for threadripper and see how it performs

Long story short it's a rip off, product not worth the asking price. Its more about Intel being a crappy scummy company and AMD putting serious effort into putting out the BEST product out there for the LOWEST COST.

Are you computer literate? You should be able to figure this out kiddo :)
