The refreshed i9-7980XE (which in my opinion is one of my favourite CPU from Intel even with slightly bloated pricing), comes with soldered TIM which can transfer heat from die to IHS better but overclocking enthusiasts disappoints as the solder itself transfer lower heat than metallic thermal paste such as Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and can complicate relidding. [Dec '19 ColdSpy]

"Build to perform. Designed to win". Launched 25 November of 2019, this mighty 24 core 48 thread CPU boasts 88 PCIe 4.0 lanes (16 lanes used for high-speed interconnect, 176 PCIe 3.0 lanes effective), 142.25MB of cache, 3.8GHz base and 4.5GHz max boost clock with 280W effective TDP. This CPU competes well with entire of Intel HEDT and Xeon lineup thanks to unprecedented single core performance and insane multi core performance compared to all Intel HEDT CPUs. The new Threadripper 3000 series CPU is (in my opinion) classified as the Extreme High End Desktop (EHEDT) CPU as this CPU has both very high single core and multi core performance, high amount of PCIe lanes and L3 cache and clearly very high price (this CPU costs $1399.99 at launch) which ranks them above HEDT. [Nov '19 ColdSpy]
