   If you spend more than $800 on a processor you're not getting your money's worth and should've just waited

   These are for enterprise grade shit, or super enthusiast gamers. Looks like Intel panicked and fucked up.

   Well fuck Linus in any case.
   
   I don't follow hardware industry news close enough to have a well informed opinion on the "reactionary" accusation but it certainly doesn't seem beyond the possible. The presence of a shitty top-end vanity product doesn't really bother me, core count on the majority of the line is a step in the right direction. Ehh

   Also "enterprise" what? I mean i7 servers exist but no one really uses them. I guess maybe if you want to do a super high end workstation or something but even then I can't really think of somewhere this is useful. Graphics workstations should be investing in the GPU over the CPU and developer workstations aren't going to get much out of the higher core counts.
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   mostly just mongos complaining 'my computer is slooooow and I can't delete all these browser games and toolbars because I NEED THEM FOR WORK', so infra teams get forced to buy dumb shit to shut them up
