Indeed, certainly going to be some interesting new boards coming 🙂

Well, Intel won't surpass AMD's core count. I thought they would come back with higher values 😛
Just wondering what Intel has in store for new motherboard model's 🙂

+ Native USB 3.1 Gen 2 ( 10Gbps ) support
+ Support Intel RST 16 Firmware and Driver like Z390
+ Support Intel Management Engine Firmware 12.XXX like Z390

Well nothing groundbreaking to make us upgrade from X299. Let's see what the new CPUs bring to the table and then I will decided weather I will sell my 7940X or delid it.

It's like bottled water, taken from the clear springs of Poland, where it was purified by expatriated, French born Jews attempting to rebuild their post WWII empires.

Idiots will replace what is not required of replacement. And pay for a beverage they can get for free out of their own tap. Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

X599 Power management to that socket will be interesting.

X599/LGA3647 is just Xeon (Skylake Bronze) stuff, maybe plus a few consumer features, maybe minus a few enterprise features. Just like i9-X processors.
Z399/LGA2066 apparently isn't "Extreme" anymore so now it's called a "Z" part, lol.

It seems like Intel is just rebranding stuff ... migrating (low-end) enterprise platforms into their HEDT/workstation market, migrating HEDT into their mainstream market. Basically just shuffling categories around so that Intel product families always have something at the top-end with far better spec than AMD.

Rebranding = offering "new" products while not actually innovating or competing.

Some pictures saying how Skylake X/SP architect still better even if it was performance hit due Spectre & Meltdown patch microcode.
Tested under load optimized default. XMP 3200 16-18-18-38 2T 0200004D Microcode deploy.
The benchmark those optimized to use both 2 FMA-512-bit unit show the real performance of Skylake X/SP architect.







By architect inside , Our exist Skylake X SKU comparable as XEON Scalable Gold due its has 2 FMA 512-bit unit.
Z399 what was refreshing X299 like the same as Z390 bring all feature we know (USB 3.1 Gen 2 , RST 16 / ME 12 , etc. ) to support 1151V2 platform.

X599 was the rebrand of C620 series chipset for 2-socket platform for consumer.

Due the Skylake SP/X architect was first debut on our platform. Intel may stickly to tweaking its few step before release newiest architect on Sapphire Rapid .

The last Skylake SP / X architect was Icelake SP/X architect will elimininate all kind of bottleneck aways.

In my opinion , We must waiting for ICE LAKE SP/X SKU better than other lakes. :cool:

no complaints from me when INtel unlocked HCC cpus with x299 - my 7980XE is a workhorse, unlocked 3647 will be very interesting.
