If you're in the High End desktop segment. Your latest and greatest from Intel is the 18 core 9980XE, at an MSRP of 1700USD. If you want to go above this, you're in the server segment on the LGA3647 socket, with the Xeon W-3175X 28 core option for about 3000USD MSRP. The 9980 support 128GB, 2666mhz memory. The Xeon supports 512GB 2666mhz memory. You can likely clock it higher, though not much higher if you max out the memory capacity.
 
Alternatively, you can get a 32 core 2990WX from AMD for about 1800 USD. Supporting 128GB memory at 2966MHZ. Note that the 2990WX consist of two CPUs on the same die. In certain applications, this is not a problem and Intel is left in a ditch. In other applications, the latency between the CPUs can cause somewhat reduced performance.
 
If 32 cores is not enough, AMD does offer the 7742 Epyc 64 core for about 7500USD. If your applications can even make use of 64 cores, this is as good as it gets right now unless you're buying on behalf of Google, Facebook or other giant companies. The CPU supports up to 4TB memory, at 3200mhz. But i don't think there are motherboards supporting this memory capacity AND frequency.
 
You can also take a look at the 16 core AMD 3950x launching in september for about 750USD. I got the 12 core variant myself and i'm very happy with it, even though you seem to need the cores much more than i do. It supports 3200mhz memory, up to 128GB i believe.
 
 
Basically, Intel attempted an extremely ambitious jump from 14nm to 10nm all the way back in 2014. Slated for release in 2016/2017. As of 2019, they have yet to deliver and the rumor mill has it that even after 2-3 years of delays they are not close to full 10nm production. What they have produced have been lower power mobile chips, at best, performing marginally better than their 14nm CPUs.
 
At best they will lose some market through 2019 and 2020. At worst, they won't be competitive in the extremely lucrative server segment for several years. Resulting in a downward spiral of revenue loss and mounting debt affecting them for the better part of a decade to come. This doom-saying have yet to materialize however, even though AMD started competing again in 2017. Intel still increased it's yearly revenue in 2017 and 2018.

Custom fan settings
 
I have my 3900x in a Corsair 500D, which is a mediocre case when it comes to thermals but i didn't get it for the thermal performance. I use a Corsair H150i with 6*120mm fans. With another 120mm fan in the back and two 140mm fans at the top of the case. My PSU draws power from the case, though i can only do this because my PSU is total overkill for my system.
 
At 4.3GHZ all core, 1.4125 volt.
Max fan speed, about 1750rpm on the 120mm fans and about 1400rpm on the 140mm fans. My CPU sits at around 78-80 degrees C. For workloads requiring fewer cores, such as gaming. I get away with the ''quiet'' setting. Lowering fan RPM to about 700, barely audible.

''For the most part, the 14nm++++++++++++ parts seem to be better than the 10nm parts, they consume less power, have more cores and clock higher.''
 
That is a fancy way of saying
 
The 10nm is worse than the 14nm++, 10nm consumes more power, have fewer cores and clocks lower.

Double Data Rate
 
Your bios shows the bit rate, which is 2 times the frequency with double data rate. I.e two bits gets transferred per cycle. While the CPU-Z shows the actual cycle rate.

My 12 core 3900x is easily beating the 16 core 1950x in cinebench 20. Checking out some reviews, the 8 core 3700x is not significantly behind the 1920x.
 
The first generation threadripper is simply outdated, unless they are
a) cheap (very)
b) you require a large amount of pci-e lanes at a low cost.
or c) You need to install allot of memory.
 
For pure processing performance, they are not a good buy in 2019.

@Lurick 12 core*

''This is the final rig for my friend, what do you think? 1477 $USD. Engineering work and gaming for 5+ years.''
 
I was gonna say the 9700K will be superior to the 3700x in most games. But now that you added unspecified ''Engineering work'', i could easily imagine your friend benefiting from the superior multi-core performance of the 3700x over that of the 9700k for his profession.
 
A 9900K will yield the best of both worlds, the gaming performance of the 9700k with the multi-core performance of the 3700x. But with the price point of the 3900x, which in turn is far superior in multi-core performance. It depends on what is important for your friend. But at current budget, the 3700x is my choice.

I went with a G.skill 3200mhz CL14 (F4-3200C14D-16GTZR) for my 3900x build. I wish i could tell you more about it, but not unlike other people, my 3900x has yet to arrive. I plan on pushing them to 3800mhz, then setting the timings as tight as possible.
 
Searching around, it seems G.skill is introducing a 3800mhz CL14-16-16-36 8gb * 2 in the near future.

I would not bet on this kit of RAM going for cheap. 3600mhz CL16 is already quite expensive.
 
If there was any confusion as to what G.skill product letter suffixes actually mean.

Cooling solution makes 0 difference unless the heat is moved out of the room. In fact, a more powerful cooler may allow the CPU to boost higher, consuming more power and generating more heat.

Hibernating your computer restores it's hidden potential

Hopefully this means Ryzen 4000 will be on the AM4, while the Zen 3, Ryzen 5000 will be on a new DDR5 platform in 2021.

Is it this one?

Turbo boost: No
Instruction set: 32 bit
 
My guess regarding the issue with 32 and 64 bit. Is that Windows 7 64 bit, has the ability to handle 64 bit data, but does not actually require a 64 bit capable CPU to run itself. While windows 8 and up, actually requires a 64 bit capable CPU in order to even run. I'm not even sure why you would want to install 64 bit windows 10, as it serves no actual purpose. You cannot exceed 4GB of RAM, and your 32 bit CPU would not be able to process other 64 bit software.

Buffer overflow? So the computers controlling the listed systems are running out of memory?
 
Reminds me of the USS Yorktown
 
''On 21 September 1997, while on maneuvers off the coast of Cape Charles, Virginia, a crew member entered a zero into a database field causing an attempted division by zero in the ship's Remote Data Base Manager, resulting in a buffer overflow which brought down all the machines on the network, causing the ship's propulsion system to fail.''

Guys let's hate on Epic for doing something right because it's what we PC gamers do, we hate everyone.

No, controversy COULD bring demonetization. Literally anything can bring demonetization. If you drink Pepsi in your video, Coca Cola may pull their ads from your video or even your entire channel. If you're a health channel, McDonalds may not want to advertise on your channel.
 
It should come as a surprise to no one. That companies tend to stay away from politics.

People seemingly believe google has full control over what gets advertised on which videos. When in reality, if you operate a youtube channel dealing with ''risque topics'', chances are companies will explicitly tell youtube that your category, or even your channel in particular is no-no.
If Coca Cola doesn't want their ads shown on your channel, thats it. There is no argument or plea. Coca Cola said no, and that is final.
 
 
''Give clear explanations for individual decisions — for example, if a video is demonetized, which parts of the video violated which criteria in the Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines?''
 
If this comes true, what i imagine we will be seeing is allot of messages saying ''Our advertisers, who shall remain unnamed, want nothing to do with your channel''. Alternatively if Google is for some odd reason forced to disclose internal communication between Google and it's customers, because that is what they are, customers. I imagine even more companies will be pulling their ads off of Youtube. Now Coca Cola cannot quietly distance itself from certain channels or videos, now they risk public backlash for doing so... or public backlash for failing to do so.
 
On TV, no one has to know Coca Cola pulled their ad from a time slot, one particular show or from the channel entirely. It's not the public's business, it's a private business transaction. But on youtube, now every single ''content creator'' (whatever that will mean legally) is privy to information and communication between themselves, youtube and the companies buying advertisement.
 
''Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines''
 
They are called guidelines for a reason. It's not a set rule, ''don't do this specifically''. It's a list of suggestions. Even if you are well within the guidelines, certain companies may still find their content objectionable. Which they are free to do, for any reason, or even no reason at all.
 
Example 1: Maybe you colored your hair and some company doesn't like that? Too bad, they don't want anything to do with your channel.
 
Example 2: You drink Pepsi in your video? Too bad if Coca Cola doesn't like that.
 
Both of these examples may be within the guidelines. However, for one reason or another someone could decide that your channel is not a good place for their advertisements.

The entire thing will fall apart like 3 communists vigorously attempting to split an ever shrinking pie into 3 equally large pieces.
