Its funny that intel brought the embargo forward 6 hours to avoid the AMD launch.

Can it be delidded ?

Theoretically yes if it is like 9980XE. It is really tricky. But you really need to know what you are doing and be very, very careful. And also i wouldn't recommend it on a regular chip. Only on pre-binned ones, with direct die mount, and ballsy water cooling setup.
