Hmmm... Multi-Threaded - 4204

Hmm looks very nice - good clock speeds across 18/36 but... SWEET JESUS IT'S £1800!

cinebench .... 4200 vs. 3050 (OC 3450) points.

price in germany (mindfactory) : i9-7960XE = 2300€ vs. 1950x = 960€.

euro price per CB point:

intel = 0,547 cent
AMD = 0,314 cent
AMD = 0,278 cent (OC)

The 14 core seems to be the sweet spot here for single + multi threaded on the high end.

This, granted that it gives insane scores but the price? You can buy a 1950X, Motherboard and RAM for the price of that CPU alone!

if you want to spend 800 euro on RAM.

960 euro 1950x CPU
530 euro asus x399 zenith

still not even close to 2300 euro.

€2300 for the CPU alone? Shut the front door! I was basing on the £1799 price on the article. Dayum.

You'd have to be a special type of idiot to buy this.

I'm an idiot, but I'm not that much of an idiot.

1800 pound would be 2042 euro today.
don´t know if that´s without tax in the UK.

but preorder price in germany are insane 2380 euro.

If you have the right workload, this CPU could be a really good. Otherwise you are doing nothing more than chasing benchmarks with no gains in anything.
