Out of the loop

[skypine27]

Been a while since I’ve gotten a new CPU. Still running a 7980XE

*Can the new*Intel® Core™ i9-10980XE run in the R6E?

Yes 10980XE works wuth R6E and lasb bios, normaly

Been thinking on this one myself,
I’m running the i9-7980xe and in a quandary about upgrading to the i9-10980xe ?
Is it realy worth the £1027 upgrade cost as I can get 5ghz out of the 7980xe, might just wait for the next iteration of cpu/mobo before doing a final upgrade.

I was asking myself the same question as you, and I was advised to keep the 7980XE (same as the 10980XE, roughly) and to wait for a possible future CPU

Keep your Case PSU at least 1200 or 1500 watt and Collecting DDR4 Sticks at least 8 sticks with speed above 3200MT/s* *

Starting selling your exist CPU MOBO GPU as quickly as you can do.

Big brothers LGA 4189 is coming soon same time as NVIDIA Ampere 3080Ti or Titan Ampere with 24/32GB GDDR6X

Hmm...on what would I be working/gaming then in the meanwhile. 😄

Not that I wouldn't have tens of mobo/CPU combos in the house...

Intel plan to release 9 products based on 10++nm process starting with Icelake SP soon.*
