From what I've seen so far, which isn't a huge amount, the 8700k seems to be very much the same as a 7700k but with two extra cores so probably going to overclock similar to that. Even though it has two extra cores the power density isn't going to increase so much as the package area becomes larger. Meaning CPU thermals shouldn't be much more of a problem than that of the 7700k.
If they fit the bill, you should go for 8 core and 16 core. This way you can directly compare with the Ryzen and TR builds you already own, and also have 2 distanced points on the SKL-X product spectrum.
In theory, as you probably already know, they're launching on Monday. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
And so it begins.... I'm sure you'll find a reason to spend that $2,000. It's the first acknowledgement from you, albeit subtly, that the 7980XE is worth consideration.
There are supposed to be released on Monday, but funnily, except the Korean leaks there is very little talk about them - i mean, before the 7900x came out, DerBauer has been delidding it like there is no tommorow 2 weeks in advance, talking about its supposed OC capability etc... there was quite a lot of hype days before Threadripper release day too. Now, 7920x flew completely under the radar and so far it looks there is not much interest in the other 3 chips as well.
What a strange interpretation. Did you really read the same exchange between VirtualLarry & Markfw as I did?And so it begins.... I'm sure you'll find a reason to spend that $2,000. It's the first acknowledgement from you, albeit subtly, that the 7980XE is worth consideration.
None of the resellers or distributors even have a place-holder for these parts.
Yes; and countless other remarks from Markfw in the recent past to deem that post as an almost about-face on the "value" stance.
Well, no. the 1950X already beats the equally priced 7900X in most everything, and it harder to cool. I just want to be able to OWN a Skylake-X, so I don't just take it from reviews, but from personal knowledge.

Intel refuses to share die size. thats funny. charlie said the same thing more than a month ago.
It would be nice if you make a comment about why you are posting the link, and what it has to do with this thread.
Apple didn’t share the die size of the A11 Bionic, that was determined by TechInsghts.
So why then this secrecy from Intel. Anyway if not die size what about transistor count.
Apple atleast shares transistor counts on Apple Ax series. So with die size information from Techinsights we can calculate transistors / sq mm . Intel keeps boasting in powerpoint presentations about their so called superior transistor density and then refuses to reveal actual transistor count on their latest chips, both the high end Core and low end Atom based. What a joke. This clearly shows Intel is not confident about actual real world density comparisons of Intel 14nm Core products against 14nm AMD Zen or 14nm Atom based products against 10nm Apple A11. As for so called die sizes you quote for Coffeelake they have to be verified with actual delidded CPU die shots since Intel officially does not disclose them.
