Alder Lake is still only 8+8 big+small cores, while you can already get 16 big cores in 5950X with hopefully Zen3 Threadrippers in the pipeline coming soon now

Alder Lake is still only 8+8 big+small cores, while you can already get 16 big cores in 5950X with hopefully Zen3 Threadrippers in the pipeline coming soon now that Milan is out. Feels like Intel has little to offer in competition.
- totalZero 6y agoEvery time I see someone mention 5950x on HN or Twitter, I check Best Buy to see if it's in stock, and so far it has never been available. It could be the standout desktop chip in its market segment, but sellers are asking over a grand for it on Amazon. If the average PC builder takes price and availability into consideration when choosing a CPU, then those factors matter too.
