I'm not going to be first, but I am interested in building a new desktop for myself in the Feb/Mar timeframe. I was planning to do a 3950x....so the 5950x is a strong possibility. Although, based on the numbers that I saw today, I may just go for a 5900X and save the extra $250 for something else.

No CPU coolers coming with the new chips either, except for the 5600x. That doesn't bother me, as I was planning to go aftermarket on my cooler anyway. Planning on the Be Quiet Dark Rock 4.

5950x is best improvement over it's precursor 3950x, almost 30% more. That's a huge jump.

Yep, should be interesting when benches show us. Im staying with my current CPU for the foreseeable future. My GPU will get an upgrade next, but Im not in a rush, lol they are out of stock for Nvidia, and AMDs are coming soon.

Part of me wants to get an AMD GPU, to match with CPU, but I really like Nvidia
