I can't believe I just noticed this. I was leaning towards the 7800X as I currently have the 5930k which is 6 cores. I'm not needing 44 lanes, tho I'm upset that I'm losing 12 lanes for the same number of cores, then I see that the 7800X doesn't have the intel turbo boost 3.0, but the 8 core 7820x does. So once again I'm feeling that Intel is giving us the middle finger, almost forcing us to either keep the old x99 platform or shell out an extra $500 for a 10core with 44 lanes, just to keep up with what I have now.
Oh let us not forget that VROC won't allow non-Intel SSDs to have a bootable drive using the VROC technology.
It is almost if Intel is begging us to go to AMD. 😕

Turbo boost 3.0 only affects your 2 top performing cores. And, it might not work at all if you are already overclocking.
I really hate proprietary things like Intel might be doing with VROC. They should ask Apple how that went in the 80's:

Anyone else heard whispers of the 14core and above i9's being soldered due to the angry villagers like us, griping about the TIM?
