The only thing I don't like about the x299 CPUs is their high power consumption but that's a given with HEDT specs. What was really bad for many high-end consumers is when Intel eventually cut Xeon compatibility (and usually at lower prices than the i5/i7 counterparts) with the consumer chipsets. I like multi-threaded performance when it can scale when it need to, like this Xeon 10 core L CPU. A modest TDP and base clock but with a good turbo frequency ratio for various applications.The split is likely to continue with the X299 chipset. X99 was the last consumer chipset that had supported the high-end Xeons.
