Thanks AMD. But I have already thanked them another way
I wish Intel good luck, but I'm not sure whether it will help as long as they use toothpaste in their heaters.

Yeah, big thanks to AMD I have too thanked them by buying several Ryzen cpus

If we can't overclock the 7700K because it overheats.. how will they manage 18 cores?

zzzz, no thanks

They should bundle these delid tools, there is no way in hell that it can OC without a delid https://rockitcool.myshopify.com/

The CPUs for this new socket are pretty expensive. I assume they will be soldered and won't need delidding, same as the CPUs for LGA2011 socket previously.

I can't wait until the next iteration when they announce "Core i11 - Spinal Tap Edition" (see: https://xkcd.com/670/).

Finnaly we are switching from MHz to Cores - 18 MHz 386 and now 18 cores CPUs... Blah even price was/is similar, just times flies

Blah even price was/is similar, just times flies

Even the performance perceived by the end-user will be the same, once you factor in the crappy microsoft OS they'll be likely to run...
