The editors didn't like
No longer the HEDT champ
Power-hungry compared to 3950X
Hammered by 3rd Gen TR
Ageing motherboard support
Platform lacks new/innovative features
Not as many cores/threads as Threadripper rivals
A little pricey
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
No longer the HEDT champ, Power-hungry compared to 3950X, Hammered by 3rd Gen TR, Ageing motherboard support
It is patently clear that Intel hasn't made the expected performance strides in the HEDT space. The latest processors bear the 10th Gen Core branding but can trace their silicon lineage back to the 14nm Skylake generation.Intel's leading-edge manufact...

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...

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...

In the past, Intel's Extreme Edition parts have always been outrageously specced (and outrageously expensive) CPUs that could be found at the top of the charts for desktop CPUs, but were obviously easier to spot in a ‘cost-no-object' dream build component...
