Intel said Wednesday that its next-generation codenamed Cascade Lake-X processors for high-end desktops will be revealed next month. The company says that the new CPUs will provide a significant boost in performance per dollar when compared to its existing codenamed Skylake-X products, which gives some idea regarding improvements of the chips.
Intel naturally does not disclose specifications of its processors that are at least a month away, so instead it demonstrated a slide showing relative performance per dollar in content creation applications. According to Intel’s internal testing, its Cascade-Lake-X processors will provide a 1.74x – 2.09x relative per-dollar performance improvement when compared to Skylake-X.
Trying to figure out exact core count or price points of Cascade Lake-X CPUs from one performance diagram is certainly not a good business. Meanwhile, from Intel’s launch of its 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable products we know that the company offers either a higher frequency, or more cores at the same price when compared to the prior generation products. So, it is reasonable to expect Cascade Lake-X to provide similar advantages compared to Skylake-X. Also, Intel has launched the Xeon W-3200 series based on Cascade Lake, which will offer some similarity to these parts.
Intel’s Cascade Lake-X processors will use LGA2066 socket and will be compatible with Intel X299-based motherboards with appropriate BIOS and features.

They moved from pure performance gain to performance per dollar, so its 30% cheaper at least :)they used statistic that was AMD domain for years.....
So they are not ahead in performance per vat, pure power or any other meaningful metric.
What's next performance per ramstick ?

Performance per RAM channel. The bigger the better :)YB1064 - Wednesday, September 11, 2019 - link

And threadripper 3rd gen should be releasing about same time.I'd be curious how well Ryzen 3950x would do which apparently is out this month.

No, Zen 2 based TR will be released in first quarter 2020shreduhsoreus - Wednesday, September 4, 2019 - link
10980XE that's 5% faster than the 9980XE but for $1099. That's what that sounds like to me. If you actually need the cores AND they need to be as fast as possible...that's actually not bad.I returned my 3900X and have an X399 board to drop a new TR in(to replace my 1900X that I bought as a placeholder). Zen 2 is an improvement over Zen+, but it was definitely over hyped. Never mind the driver issues because AMD hasn't been able to do a proper launch in years. I'll pay a little bit extra for a processor that actually works correctly. The past year with AMD has been a nightmare.

OK, this is confusing. From your description, you have a socket TR4 board but also two Socket AM4 CPU.Also, the timing seems a bit odd - since you are talking about the past year, I would assume that you had an older Ryzen+ (so 2xxx) and board, then got a 3900x which you returned because "the last year with AMD has been a nightmare" / you were disappointed.
So disappointed in fact that you decided to go for AMD's Threadripper platform (same company, same core, just more expensive) ?
Whatever floats your boat, but it sounds a bit odd.

Probably paid to trash-talk Ryzen 3000. The sad thing is, it's actually something that happens a lot. We have to remember how Intel play dirty when they had an inferior design to Athlon 64.Mr.Vegas - Friday, September 6, 2019 - link
WOW, your a real life nut case, i bet you have a collection of tin foil hats
