Is 4.5 ghz boost too much to expect?

Or you think a 4.4 ghz be realistic?

Even an rx 590 anniversary edition is coming soon

2

Welp time for You to upgrade again :wink:

3

I might buy it and don’t open it

It should be valuable in the next decade if not opened right

Newegg has the 8086K for almost $600

How do spend money and not use it? may I ask what you do for a living? :stuck_out_tongue:

Collectors edition, also he most likely will use it if he doesn’t manage to sell it.

6

I actually won’t open it I’m serious

I want to keep it as a collectors and then maybe sell it 10 years later if still valuable

7

I buy anything as a collectors edition related

For example, this is in a closet as temporary for now, making a new shelf for this

These are all open and tied to my account

But I also bought a 2nd pair thats unopened, not all but some

I plan to sell those in the future some day

They even making a limited edition radeon vii card too!

I don’t know if I want to spend that kind of money just to collect it…

I bet $5 the 2700x anniversary edition will be a gold plate IHS

Waste of time with Zen2 around the corner by all accounts.

10

No word on what quantites are for the anniversary edition. For instance, Intel said 50K i7-8086K’s were available total.

Also, if you don’t open it, you’ll miss out on the free T-shirt and Zen-2 drawing.

11

So are these 2700x’s highly binned and overclocked like the 8086k anniversary chips were?

12

Iirc it’s purely collectors edition with Dr. Lisa Su’s autograph.

No performance enhancements.

14

Even if it did, I don’t think it really affects the reasoning to buy it or notm

I wouldn’t personally get a cpu for use reasons with Zen2 so close anyway, in terms of performance.

It’s a collectors piece and I suppose I could accept that.

17

It would be cool if there was a reason to use it like the 8086k. This just seems like a straight-up money grab. I’m sure it will work on some people though.

18

Even the 8086k was a hard sell for performance reasons.

I think it was 83% of 8700ks could get 5ghz, vs 100% of 8086ks, and 4% vs 15% respectively for 5.3ghz

I know I can’t tell the difference between MCE and 5ghz.

It was mostly psychological

19

Still better performance increase than gold on the box and a laser-etched signature from a CEO. This anniversary edition is like a reminder who owns you

20

he doesn’t understand how a collectors edition item can become more valuable over time :laughing:

its not meant for you to use it if you already have a good PC, its meant for collectors to own it and keep it unopened

Titan XP star wars edition are now $1900+ if brand new for example, when it was $1200 MSRP

I bought 2 WotLK collectors edition, one for me to use, the other as unopened

it was $70 MSRP, now its price value is $500+ on ebay if I sold it today, last i checked
