Why would anyone buy this? Surely those that want that extra 5-10fps already have gsync or freesync!

Yeah the 11900 is 8.

What will this mean for the pricing of the 10900k? Will it drop when these come out?

What’s insane is charging $600 for a 8 core cpu.

I fully expect Linus to make a video sponsored by Intel where he's building a PC with one of the new processors, then tearing the entire line-up a second asshole the very next day. He did something similar with nvidia and it was just as pathetic back then as it will be with Intel in a couple of weeks or whatever.

No, it is 4 core, 8 thread.

$600 for a 250W TDP 8-Core

I have a i79700k and a rtx 3090 and been considering getting a new cpu to better match my new gpu, but yea this ain't it.

Why would anyone buy this over a 5900x?

Alright, we get the idea - you're getting more cores, for less money. But what about Thunderbolt 4? So alright, you're a cool creator that needs that many cores, but at the same time, for some obscure reason, as a creator, you don't have a need for Thunderbolt 4. 
It's like you point out that the chainsaw is cool, but the gas for it is in another game, in the part where the moon is.
Thunderbolt 3 boards for AMD are at least $100 to $150 more expensive (if the chipset also is supposed to support PCIe 4.0, which was introduced with last Ryzen generation CPUs in 2019!
With an Intel CPU at least your life won't be an adventure with an unsolvable riddle.

Same, my 4790k still holding on strong to most games but waiting for DDR5 as well.

I have an x470 mb so I’m holding out for the apparent Ry zen 5700x . But I would jump back to intel.

Haha, Intel just be getting absolutely dire yields on Coffin Lake, I mean Rocket Lake, to be pricing like this.
Super glad I have this 3900X though that I picked up early last year going by the ongoing shortages in AMD CPU right now. A lot of people won't have a choice, with no AMD products available to buy they have to get Intel or nothing.

Unless they somehow manage to make a 7ghz CPU then 600 for an 8core with 250W in 2021 is a joke

You're thinking of hyper-threading which has 2 threads per core, Honestly surprised the 9700k isn't hyper-threaded since my 8700k is..

I just need a motherboard that supports PCI-4.0 and I'll be on board.
EDIT: Nvm. I just don't trust the AMD CPU/MB with Nvidia GPUs.

What's wrong with that combo?EDIT: Nvm. I just don't trust the AMD CPU/MB with Nvidia GPUs.
Been using a sTRX40 mobo/X3990 CPU with a 2080TI and more recently a 3900 without issues.

2080ti lol.

Neither company would have anything to gain over the other by sabotaging either GPU or CPU performance. At this point AMD CPUs are the optimal choice and Intel does not appear to be challenging that anytime soon.I just need a motherboard that supports PCI-4.0 and I'll be on board.

Some benchmarks in gaming have had less than optimal numbers when compared to Intel CPUs. But I think I'll take the plunge on AMD this time.

Lol wow. I keep thinking about upgrading mine (1070) to a second hand 20xx card but been wondering if my CPU will only bottleneck the GPU plus prices seem to be massively inflated in the second hand market at the moment. Probably better just to wait it out until I can upgrade the whole system. Buy I think if I can just get a DLSS compatible card it would extend the life of my PC.

I have never come across this mentally before. From anecdotal evidence I cannot think of time when they don't work properly together.I just need a motherboard that supports PCI-4.0 and I'll be on board.

AMD actually matches or beats Intel when using Ampere. It's with Turing that it sometimes has an issue at certain resolutions.
How is Intel Beating AMD Zen 3 Ryzen in Gaming?
Our Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 launch day reviews saw unexpected gaming FPS results many questioned. In this article, we will investigate these results in more detail, and do more testing to figure out what is going on. The results are surprising and set things right in the battle of AMD vs. Intel.

Yeah intel turned off hyper threading on that generation of cpu for some mad reason.

Nvidia even used to make motherboard chipsets for both Intel and AMD back in the day until those companies decided they wanted control of that. I remember when my ancient Athlon 64 ran on a motherboard with an Nvidia chipset.
There was nothing mad about it, this was when AMD had not released anything competitive yet (Zen 1 was not competitive in gaming at all) and Intel were at the height of their arrogance and douchery. And it wasn't that gen of CPU, Intel started segmenting the market into HT and no-HT long before that, no one remembers the 4-core 4-thread 6600K? It wasn't until Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) that AMD was genuinely competitive in gaming and suddenly Intel started including HT at all tiers again, I can't fucking imagine why. Intel really can go fuck themselves, I really hope ARM destroys x86 and Intel for good this coming decade.
