>With ten cores you get a 140 Watt TDP processor, and I do not believe for a second that value is correct. With the system at idle with a GeForce GTX 1080 installed / 16 GB memory / SSD and the X299 motherboard I hovered at roughly 75 Watts in IDLE. That's just fine really, but the load values are rather significant. When we stressed the processor 100% run we reach roughly 250 to 300 Watts with this is a 10 core part. So we go from 75 Watts towards 300, that's 225 Watt in my book.

>I won't lie, the past two weeks with the Core i7 7900X and the X299 boards I have tested have been an absolute challenge. Memory XMP profiles would not stick, power consumption with one BIOS was OK, the other through the roof. But most of all the processor performance was all over the place. We've seen perf differences of up-to 20% in-between merely different motherboards.

> Intel recommends certain power states to keep the TDP in line, as otherwise they simply cannot achieve that 140W TDP. For most overall tests that worked out okay enough, but specifically the toll on game performance was abysmal.

>So in the year 2017 you still cannot run two graphics cards at a full x16 PCI-Express lanes, as there are too few available lanes available. Not even the 900 bucks you would spend on an 8-core part, as it will bog down towards two x8 links.

Not surprised, Europe's largest hardware enthusiasts are mostly for Eastern Europe and they've been sick of Intel's shit long ago.

Ryzen (1600 non X) is outselling both the pentium and 7700k here.

Nice dreams

It also helps that most of those aren't underage and have been buying hardware since the P5 and know AMD have slapped Intel in the face more than a few times.

EX-Yu takes a good chunk of East Yurop, it's pretty much the same situation here.

I've seen colleagues dump their Haswell's in masses for the 1700/1700X

>Skyfire
>not Firelake
Disappointed in you OP.

There's gonna be a boom of east slavs streaming their videogames.

No, we don't do that shit, at least from what I know of people building their own PCs, nobody cares enough to show to others what they do.

>B-b-but this DEFINITELY was n-not rush released to c-compete with AMD....H-H-HONEST!
