my bad, ryzen 7. I'm not too good with all these names and numbers
HU found these to be very questionable:

You guys are missing the point, they're doing this because they can. The 9700k will still outperform everything AMD has to offer in games. It'll also be slightly better in most workloads and slightly more expensive than the 8700k. Trust me, it's gonna keep selling well. As for the 9900k, there's plenty of people willing to throw around money just to get the best of the best, hence the new price point to rake in more money. These prices are pretty much dead on what I expected them to be like.
So if the 8700k is around 10% faster then a 2700x and 9900k is around 5% faster than the 8700k, you're paying double the price for 15% extra games performance at 1080p medium/high settings which most people spending that kind of money on a cpu aren't going to be using.

I know which one I'd rather buy.
Intel is basically fucked until 2020 because Ryzen caught them with their pants not only down but in another zip code. They thought they'd just be able to get away with slapping cores together and slowly increasing clock speeds while misleading consumers about the actual impact of turbo (notice how they don't list the full core turbo breakdown, only single-core turbo because it's the single highest; in some cases when all cores are in use the turbo's barely 100mhz above base clock).
It's fun watching them squirm.
Really doesn't surprise me; commissioned benchmarks are usually a little funky.
Here's a little update HardwareUnboxed:

PrincipledTechnologies was running the 2700X as a quad core during those benchmarks.
How embarrassing.
Why are they being so cheap with HT even now, I laughed when I noticed that my i3 laptep has HT when my i5 computor doesn't.
AMD needs to slap them harder.
Its all about creating additional "tiers" out of a product, while not spending more money. You don't need to make multiple versions, just gimp a product so its less powerful, but costs "less", but you can charge a premium for the fully functional version. And people will pay extra for the fully functional version, because why bother with the lesser version. There is a term for this, but I can't remember.
Binning.

"1st mainstream 8c16t processor" as if Ryzen 7 doesn't exist.
I wish Apple aren't hoarding up all the plants just so AMD can produce their next gen right now
Should say, "first mainstream I7 without hyperthreading technology"
Hell, I have a board with an Atom in it, and it still has Hyper-threading.

Steve ready to bring the fire
lmfao they're actually advertising the solder tim
shouldn't that be like, a standard thing
Shouldn't HT?
Why make that the standard when you can upcharge 150-300 more?

That guy was definitely trying to BS his way through, but I still give him credit for actually sitting down with Tech Jesus to hold that interview. PT could have easily said "nah we're not doing interviews, we'll send you a generic email response in a few days. go away."
Either way, huge props to Steve and GN once again for their work. I've been following their content for a long time and they pretty much never disappoint.
Gonna ride this 3570k until the wheels fall off, then I guess it's AMD for the future build
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy would Hyperthreading be an i9 exclusive, which Intel exec made that decision and why do they still hold a job?
"you're here because you're getting a lot of hits off this"
fuck ooooooooofffffffff
Lol, maybe someone shouldnt try to conduct a test enviroment with 50 variables thrown into the mix.
I mean for fuck sake, they tested the AMD chips with the stock cooler and intel ones with a 80$ high end air cooler. Also the threadripper probably had a sink that wasnt even big enough to cover the plate.
Also the old prick's answers are total BS. Things like his reasoning for using the Wraith Prism for the 2700X but the big Noctua cooler for everything was along the lines of "We tried to keep everything as close to out of the box as possible :downs:." So that means using the freebie cooler on the most applicable competitor which is known to be thermally limited, while Intel's chips get one of the best air coolers ever made, and the Threadrippers get the same cooler, but it doesn't actually cover the entire TR IHS, so it's unfair to AMD anyways. These tests are either totally rigged or totally incompetent, and I'm mad either way.
I love his one response about how long he's been benchmarking. "I've probably been doin it longer than you've been alive!" Yeah well that doesn't mean you're doing it properly.
remember i3 and i7 processors have ht now its just expensive i9's that get it
