I've just bought an 1800x, but hopefully massdrop gets it on here cheaper than amazon/newegg. I can't see the price going as low as microcenter's though.
Shame that the 1900x isn't included in this poll.
Its identical to the 1800x which is winning so far, but it has 64 PCIE lanes instead of 16.
16 is just too limiting. The 20 lanes on competing intel parts is still more versatile if you want to run VMs.
Theres no way that many of you NEED an 1800x.. like really? why not vote for something most here actually wants to buy like a 1600 or 1600x instead of just clicking on the most expensive and extravegant option... really annoying that all the actual needed processors by the masses get shifted aside for the excessively powerful and expensive ones. I know damn well 99% of the people who voted 1800x will not buy and/or especially wont need anywhere close to that performance.
As a computer animator I would. For rendering and postediting. I still am not going with an 1800 because it is worst than a 1700 in an air cooled system
