User
Workstation and productivity applications
Superb out-of-the-box multi-threaded performance
Strong lightly-threaded performance thanks to Turbo Boost 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max 3.0
High all-core frequencies when overclocked
Provided you can cool the chip
44 PCIe lanes will appeal to multi-GPU use
The editors didn't like
Software optimisations needed
Bang4buck hasn't improved much
The price is a real wallet buster
Very hot
And even your usual 240mm AIOs may not be enough
Neutral

“The high temperatures and price may have you sweating
But when it comes
Performance regression in some games
Price
Poor thermal performance
Thermal performance is poor
Power consumption is very high
Extremely expensive and questionable value compared to AMD's Ryzen 7 offerings
