its wccftech so take it with a grain of salt.... but when u think about it this would make complete sense.. the intel - amd partnership that got announced will last until koduri gives intel finally a decent igpu .. and then they wont need amd anymore.

just tried it .... 1000 dollar gaming pc... with whatever CPU/GPU it chooses.... and the result.... i3 7100.... vega 56..... really? i3? rofl ....

instead of talking about it ... you asus..... should do something about it .... intel doesnt have to know.... just release a new bios ... like u do all the time .....and fix this z370 nonsense...

for the same price you are choosing between 10 or 16 cores.... so for rendering..... definitely go for 1950x... moar cores will help with that...

some1 should test if the locked CF chips like the 8400 are able to be OCed on the z370 boards through base clock overclocking feature..... cause some gigabyte and asrock offer this option ... it was done in the past with the first gen skylake chips.... or just use the multicore enhacement thing that was mentioned in some reviews and lock all the cores to the turbo boost speed of the cpu. Edit: BCLK overclocking on the locked i5 CF chips might work

The users obviously couldn’t believe their luck, so they proceeded to benchmark the chips and they found that they performed exactly like 1800Xs. Why exactly this is happening is unclear. Each CPU is tested right before it’s packaged to be shipped, so it’s implausible for the manufacturing facility not to have known that those 1600s and 1600Xs they were shipping weren’t 1800Xs. It’s possible that this was a decision made simply as the result of higher demand on Ryzen 5 1600X and 1600 CPUs leading AMD to use some of its less purchased 8-core dies as Ryzen 5 1600Xs and 1600s to meet the demand. One thing is for certain though, this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase silicon lottery.

i am having a feeling..... that the TR cpus ... will be unlockable in the future....... to feature up to 32 cores... like epyc has... as response to future intel offerings....amd is reporting good yields with ryzen... its not imposible.... they did it before ..... with gpus...
