Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Editionedit
Given that we are looking at the same chip being re-released, it simply doesn’t seem to be worth the price. The CPU is very good but only if it had been priced lower than the competing AMD product. The 18-core Intel Core i9-7980XE served its purpose and helped Intel maintain their lead in the HEDT segment since AMD’s 16-core 1950X would fall short in single and multithreaded applications

Google is widening the funnel by peppering hyperlinks into existing Google services such as YouTube. This makes Stadia more visible and the convenience of getting started with just one click is too good to pass. Google already has the networking infrastructure that’s spread across the world, it’s using custom AMD GPUs which are more powerful than current gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles and it’s making the service convenient to get onto for users without any initial investment. There’s hardly any reason for gamers to not consider this service. Let’s consider the cons.
