Hmmm Vega is showing promise i guess but that is with one Title
AMD RX Vega 64 Outperforms NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti By Up To 23% In DX12 Forza 7
Man Intel is putting in Overtime
The new Coffee Lake 8700k can beat out a 7800x and hangs with a 7900x wth lol
also new Platform 370z Boards
I can't find a video on this with any respected Tech reviewer but supposedly anyone with a 7800x or 7820x will be pretty darn mad
I saw that too Tommy, but it's hard to get over the 16 PCIe lanes of the 8700K.
Intel claims it is the best gaming CPU they have ever released.
I just think this stuff is coming out way to fast
I know it's about competition but their not even giving people a chance to let the X series sink in
Basically in a nutshell people should of not bought the X299 they would get about the same getting a Z370 and for about $400 cheaper man Intel knows how to sh*t on people real talk
I was watching a video saying they are trying to do away with using the pcie interface don't know how true it is but it was said
I really find that difficult to believe, about doing away with PCIe lanes. That is what they are using to get you to buy the more expensive CPUs. the 8700K has 16 PCIe Lanes. The 7800 and 7820 have 28 PCIe lanes, the 7900 and up have 44 PCIe lanes.
That is what Intel has done for years. The lower end CPUs in the HEDT class always have fewer lanes.
16 lanes will be taken up by 1 Graphics card, so nothing left for M.2 SSDs, sound cards or anything else. What I expect is the Motherboard Manufacturers will put another chip in to add some more lanes. That's what they have done before. Just like sata ports. The chipset provides a certain number of sata ports. To give you more, there are add on chips, like ASMedia or Marvell ports. I expect the same to happen with PCIe lanes. They've done it in the past.
