>but no integrated graphics
what happened here?
Intel Core i5-7640X

Let's not forget
>X299 mainboard prices
Aiden Collins
Nothing goy, what do you mean?
Michael Richardson
You're not funny.
Lincoln Ross
Kike.
Jacob Turner
>x299
>can't use half the functions for this CPU not because of hardware limitation but because of artificial firmware/software limitation.

What place is this supposed to fill in the market?
Does it even make sense to have HEDT platforms lower than the i7-78 something-X?
Cooper Roberts
None.
No reviewer knows why these CPU exist at all. Atleast from what I've heard/read so far, they do not recommend it as it has no place for its existence.
Jacob Sullivan
Intel are just shoving as many products onto the market as possible in the hope that you'll buy one. The idea behind these shitty quad cores is that you'll buy a $300 X299 motherboard and a $200 CPU, with the plan of upgrading to a part with more cores later. But that's fucking retarded.
Joshua Sanders
So they're just trying to sell chipsets. Okay then.
On second thought, even the i7 78xx-X is pushing its luck.
Jayden Perez
You can avoid buggy HT at least.
Blake King
if you don't want HT get the 7600K. There's no reason for the 7640K to exist.
Charles Brooks
SHUT UP
Jaxon Davis
Intel has grown fat and lazy again, same thing that happened in the pentium 4 era with netburst.
Dominic Thomas
get the fuck out newfag

William Torres
You're not funny.
Eli Nguyen
Get out newfag
Zachary Taylor
New Intel processors are bad, and you know it.
Benjamin Hernandez
We know this, everyone does. This one guy is being obnoxious, thats the problem
Zachary Brown
Or Ryzen for non-buggy SMT.
Connor Cooper
If it were soldered then it make sense as an enthusiast option. Pay more for better overclocking and no delidding. Unfortunately Intel cheaped out and used paste, making Kaby Lake X look like vanilla KL stapled onto 2066.
Gavin Campbell
You again? Fuck off.
Ayden Wood
We need to invent a new term for this because "damage control" won't even cut it.
I mean, who would even buy this?
Alexander Clark
It might be for braindead fangoys for "muh future upgrade path!".
Jordan Cox
You mean the upgrade path where Intel will release x299v2 since their 1 x 8 pin cpu power connectors just don't cut it for 300watts+ cpus.
