no they just look to be rebranded xeons intel already had planned 

That's what I was getting at. I have seen samples of the new Xeons.

Thanks for keeping Intel's pricing down AMD, but I think I'll be getting a 7820X (gaming use mainly)

Gotta admit the 7820X looks pretty amazing for the price.  That 7800X is pretty amazing too.  If I'm not mistaken it pretty much looks like an updated 5820K.  Can't remember if the 5820K had a bigger cache or not though.

With Skylake-X, L3 cache has been reduced and L2 cache has been increased from 256 kb to 1 mb.

The 7820K looks very similar to the 6850K, only difference being more cores and less PCI E lanes. If you want more cores, this is a better deal, but if you want more PCI E lanes for around the same price, the 6850K gives you 40 lanes for only $30-40 more....

No it doesn't, the X299 chipset gives you another 24 lanes, so you get 52 lanes in total, 12 more than the 6850K (and X99)

Well, technically, 4 more with a 7820k + chipset as 6850k + 8 x99 chipset lanes = 48.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

They are PCIe 2.0 lanes so they aren't very useful
