POLL : What looks more enticing to you?

[Skanky Sylveon]

I know these are not out yet, but I was wondering whats everyone's thoughts so far.

 

You don't need to be planning on upgrading to vote.

i9 is just a really wierd launch to compete with ryzen 7 and threadripper, unless intel keeps their prices reasonable i dont think anyone will be that incited with i9 

[SilverMight]

Eh, i9 seems really rushed, like a quick reaction to the threadripper release

Or unless AMD's prices are higher than expected, but I doubt that will happen.

@Cinnabar Sonar im not as much interested in the high core count i9s as i am the 6 and 8 core i9s and how the prices compare to Ryzen 7

I am not in the market for either (needs/budget), but if I were, and while I don't know much about it, threadripper looks more appealing.

 

I found the intel i9 unnecessarily confusing and it would probably cost quite a bit more for a given performance level.

I think Intel needs to be a lot more price competitive.  Though it's all hearsay since we don't really know any prices.  The reason Threadripper is compelling is that I might actually be able to afford it.  On the Intel side I'd still be looking at ebaying really old servers to get that kind of thread count.

I'm mostly interested in the Intel i7 1728x myself.

However, the 1976x looks quite appealing,  4 more cores, for probably not that much loss in single threaded performance.

Threadripper, because I only need to sell one kidney for it, as opposed to both kidneys and half my liver for an i9.
