I'm surprised they _still_ don't have a working 10nm desktop chip. They're 5 years behind schedule (and still counting) at this point! This is just a reskinned 9900k with 2 more cores and a much higher (> 25%) TDP at 125-watts, which is a generously low estimate of how much power it will actually suck. I briefly had their "140 watt" 7820x chip (returned for refund) that would gladly suck down more than 200 watts under sustained load. Intel plays such games with their single core turbo at this point that the 5.3ghz means very little, and it's the same tired architecture they've been rehashing since Sandy Bridge (2011).
This is an incredibly poor showing and if I were an investor I would be seriously questioning the future of Intel as a company.
