And the Motherboard it goes into requires two PSUs and is a ridiculous setup for ridiculous reasons.
They've been very shtum on the pricing because the 8180 they've bastardised is a 10k USD MSRP so what on earth are they going to put this as without pissing off anyone who has an 8180 already. 3-5k USD is a minimum I bet.
There's no way this will be less than double the price of a 2990WX, ignoring motherboard, cooling and power supply requirements, which are all significantly more expensive to cater for than 2990WX. All for 4 less cores and 8 less threads.
But it's good for gaming I guess.
The commissioned benchmark along side the embargo for all other reviewers shows how desperate they've become.
Yeah, good point. lolQuote:
