yesiree, 10980XE will be half the price of 9980XE
No doubt due to competition from AMD.
Although I heard elsewhere that Intel didn't sell that many of the
998OXE, as not enough dies had full 18 cores working. Charge $2000
and that would dampen demand to what they could supply.
So have Intel got better yields for the 'new' generation (still 14 nm)?
