That pits this 8C/16T 4ghz/5ghz Turbo processor against the Ryzen 3900X, a 12C/24T 3.8ghz/4.?ghz Turbo processor...Question is what motherboards it will run on, and if anyone will buy it...

something tells me that will not fit my MSI X470 properly......
Add the cost of new mobo/ram, and of course a new current spec psu (V.252/292).
Not to mention a $100+ liquid cooler. If TomsHardware's sample is representative of the line, Intel was aggressive on stock voltage settings.
