So adding extra cores increase your compute overal perfomance? Who would have though ?!
Now jokes aside i am really eager to see the battle between those puppies an the zen2 ! I smell a bloody battle!

The term wasn't originally intended to be negative. Nothing wrong with being a fan of something.

I´m interested in seeing the battle between Zen2 and Ice Lake. The 9000 series are basically the same as before only with more cores so the performance is predictable.

Been saying for awhile now, that the clock race is over... its going to be all about cores now, as silly as it sounds. with current technology we reach thermal thresholds too easy soon as we reach the 5ghz mark. so either we can all go and get liquid nitrogen for our machines, all we get bigger chips with more cores to spread the load better.
At first us having more cores (specially if they run at a lower clock) might seem worse, but as programmers start to make these for more cores it will level out and actually become better performing for us. we already see some games start to use 6/8+ cores so i think the industry knows in some ways this is where we are going to go.

@Ricepudding agreed although it is a long proccess to transition and we are in the middle of it!

It won't. AMD uses PGA, so it needs motherboard. Intel, on the other hand, uses LGA, so needs fatherboard.

It's wrong and also stupid to be a fan a of profit corporation, since they're never doing people's interests, but rather, their own.
Ricepudding
Totally, it might be many years depending on how long it takes for consumers and developers to totally embrace having machines with 4+ cores, too many laptops and smallers pcs are using dual cores so many developers just dont care, game developers are a little different since the consoles use 8 cores, and many pc gamers have at least 4 cores.

Some like 60hz 1440p, and someone like 165hz.
Why not game in 4k and use pentium 4? 😛

Yep. This is a great chip for people who are spending $450+ on a CPU so they can run games at 720p. Even at 1080p we hit very similar frame caps on every CPU from the Ryzen 1600 up, and at 1440p and up you see basically no gain at all.
It's why I am still rocking a 4 year old i7 4700k - I upgraded to a 1080ti last year, and I only get below 60fps on the most extreme games at 2560x1080 (Acer Z35). There's just not enough gain to be worth upgrading, especially as the top-end chips slowly get more expensive. I wouldn't recommend getting anything more expensive than a 2600x or i5 8400 for gaming. Save the $200 and put it towards something else instead.

I'm guessing the heat-spreader is gonna be soldered on these new puppies so expect even higher price than normal.

Maybe its time to upgrade to timespy extreme? Its made for high core CPUs. We can then accurately compare Threadripper against the i9 9900k.

33% more cores and 25% more performance talks 6% lower turbo clocks for all cores turbo, lets talk about temps and power draw 😉 where these numbers?
greetings!
Robbo9999
It's actually 33% more cores & 35% more performance based on the Timespy CPU test scores between 8700K and 9900K - the % figures in the article are incorrect (someone did the maths wrong!).

this is a nice cpu. this is no doubt the acme of the 14nm process.
it will be mandatory for e-sports, but has a very limited life otherwise, simply because it will be price competitive with the threadripper 2950x.
the 2950x will blow it out of the water @ 125(ish) wpc.
i've been present during the benching of an engineering sample and preliminary numbers are better, final version to be even better.
tunejunky
i like the fact free humor.
the fact of the matter is quite simply "waste of time" is in the eye of the beholder. and ya'know...financials do not lie.
we are all enthusiasts here, so i understand where you're coming from (i have a gtx 1080ti). but the reality is very different. AMD has been doing an old Intel trick (tick-tock)
Zen 2's already been optimized and process shrunk (Zen, Zen +) while Intel is still re-optimizing their process.
this is not hating on Intel, it is the truth.
BLEH!
Be interesting to see how this reactionary thing by Intel will behave on a stock cooler... At least Ryzen can reach decent clocks with a Wraith.
nizzen
These numbers are coming when the cpu are released. What do you think?
nizzen
What is stock cooling? 🙄:D
MaxBlade
Thats it? For the price thy will charge..
