Excellent overall performance, Wide-range of CPU coolers available, Ideal for content creators, Plenty of motherboards to choose from, Low power consumption compared to AMD HEDT, Reasonably priced, Easy to overclock
Platform lacks new/innovative features
It's difficult to ignore the impressive performance the Intel Core i9-10980XE offers when up against other processors which offer higher core/thread counts and clock speeds. Intel has done a good job in optimising the Skylake-X architecture in the form of...

Massive price reduction from 9000-series makes pricing more reasonable, Frequency improvement versus last gen for lightly threaded tasks, Strong frequency up to four cores loaded, especially for HEDT, Superb overclocking headroom based on our sample, Supp
Power consumption is high, and efficiency is low compared to Zen 2 parts, Inferior performance to AMD's Threadripper 3000 HEDT processors (albeit at lower cost), The X299 platform is starting to show its age against AMD's better X570 and TRX40 options, Pe
Overall performance from the new Intel Core i9-10980XE is comparable to that of the i9-9980XE it replaces when heavy multi-threaded workloads are the focus. Intel does, however, increase the lower-core-count Turbo ratios on the new Cascade Lake-X flagship...

Abstract: Trying to figure out the best CPU for your next PC upgrade or DIY build? With apologies to Robert Frost, it's the classic two roads that parted in the wood-if the wood were a shopping-results page at Newegg or Amazon, and the road kept dividing endlessly...
Abstract: Intel has faced a number of major issues this year in the consumer space, most notably its ongoing struggles to ship 10nm CPUs and a massive shortfall of 14nm production as well, leading to low supplies and price spikes. On top of that, rival AMD has had...
Aggressive Turbo Boost Max 3.0 speeds, Good multithreaded performance, Huge price slash from the previous generation
Not much faster than the Core i99980XE, Iterative upgrades that don't really bring anything new to the table
Slightly faster, but not much elseThe Intel Core i9-10980XE is just a slightly faster, and vastly cheaper, version of the Core i9-9980XE. This makes it a much better chip from a value standpoint, but it doesn't do a lot to shake the prevailing narrative t...
