At the same time you're comparing a HEDT CPU with a regular one so wait for Thread Ripper and check again.

They might've slashed prices and they are kind of similar, but they target 2 different categories.

It wasn't my comparison. I'm not saying buy one vs the other.

I'm simply responding to grandparent comment's claim that a 16C 3950X will beat a 18C 10980XE by 25%, which, no, it won't.

The performance of these products is already known +/- a few percent, they are both just evolutions of existing products.
