So basic analysis looks like 4.8GHz can be achieved with normal cooling. Anything higher might require a delidded CPU.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    4.8ghz on 6 cores not too shabby.

    Sounds good but hopefully the rumored ~$400 is not accurate!

    You guys are so conditioned, I don't know what to say; you're happy with so little.  Don't you guys remember Gulftown, Penryn or even older Pentiums?  We used to get +50% overclocks with Nehalem and Sandy Bridge.  Now you feel satisfied if you can get all cores to either match or marginally breach the max single-core turbo?  

    Intel might as well sell a very high clock processor that can't be overclocked further, but ya'll will still get it because it is the fastest.  At that point, the overclocker will be dead, because you'd paid Intel to do the factory overclocking for you all this time.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].

    It's listed at $462.99 CAD at a Canadian website. I too will be getting one at cost where I work, coming from the X58.

    And, here is Z370 Canadian pricing for a few ASUS motherboards.

    The prices are very nice if you ask me.

    I'm in the same boat.
    But I do find the $400 a little bit out of my spec.
    Let me just hope it comes at least a little below on the $400 range.

    I think it is a reasonable upgrade for most people.

    Hence "most people", it may not be for you, but if you're like me growing tired of quad core cpu's after having some sort of one for over 10 yrs, then I would still say it's reasonable.

    Looks like the 8700K will be $359 according to leaks after intel officially announced the 8th gen yesterday.

    My i7-860 nehalem is still holding strong. My biggest complaint is the toothpaste that intel is using under the IHS of newer CPUs and the fact they never implemented an eDRAM CPU option. Im hoping that one day the competition heats up even more so they start doing it right. Until then i am holding out as long as a new GPU gets me higher fps i see nothing forcing me to upgrade anything else....even my win7 ultimate.
