Great price!

Bought this CPU for upgrading from 7900x to 10980XE. Nice CPU to have. Great for x299.

Lucky to get one on hand!

Great price point for this 18 Cores CPU. Hope AMD getting stronger then we can get better price wiht Intel's products. Regards

Intel Core i9-10980XE Extreme Edition Review

The Intel Core i9-10980XE fits the bill as a processor aimed at enthusiasts, with a blitzing multi-core performance for creative work and gaming. It hits the market sweet spot between affordable consumer processors and the more powerful Threadripper options, but consequently has a niche audience. If you're willing to spend just under a grand for a CPU, then there's no doubting you're getting super-powerful chip.

Excellent performance; Lots of new features; Low power consumption; Superb overclocking potential;

Not as many cores/threads as Threadripper rivals; A little pricey;
