3950X Vs 10980XE

[TheNaitsyrk]

What do you guys think?

Intel 9980XE still seems to be faster but only by a hair width.

 

I wonder how far 10980XE will OC and I wonder if the new power plan for Ryzen will help it.

 

I wonder what 4000 series will bring.

Didn't you watch Linus' video? Intel could take years to catch up. /s

 

The 10980XE would probably OC better than the 9980XE if Intel actual changed something besides the name. So in theory, it would be slightly better than the 3950X but only third party reviews will tell which is the better option.

The results only showed an overclocked 7960X and 9980XE beating a stock 3950X, but stock 7980XE still lost in just about every graph in this vid.

 

10980XE is just 14nm+++++++ again so no meaningful IPC improvement, just small clock bump. I expect it to also be inferior to Ryzen.

on another posted I mentioned this to you about the 3950X going toe to toe with the upcoming 10980XE probably but at $250 less and on a consumer platform.  If you need more PCIe lanes just wait for TR 3000.  But as I remember you said your applications simply aren't optimized for AMD?  Sad since the 3900 and 3950X are killer chips

 

pre ordered a 3950X and I am putting it in a 13L NCase M1 w/ only a 240mm AIO since OptimumTech successfully did the same build, which is insane since my prior setup of a 18.5L Sliger Cerberus with a X399M 2950X could be barley be cooled with a custom loop.  Which brings up another point, even if the 10980XE is the better chip marginally it requires a large socket HEDT motherboard and at least a 360 AIO or custom loop.  For me personally I only build SFF so this automatically rules the chip out

The fact that you are asking the question is proof of how strong AMD's position is. The 10980XE is a more expense chip that also requires an HEDT board to run. Your total cost with AMD is probably $300-400 less. To me that makes AMD the clear winner unless you need some of the HEDT features like more PCIe lanes or quad channel RAM.

Correct. Nothing wrong here.

 

I simply have X299 EVGA Dark board, and pretty overkill cooling. Not to mention 2x 2080 Tis and couple of addin cards and multiple NVMEs. Extra PCI-E lanes will help.
