I hope this is true, I am so disappointed in the i7 6950X.I always thought paying $1k for a CPU was a total rip-off, but my stance kind of softened after experiencing the performance of the 5960X on my everyday tasks and CAD rendering.
After seeing the 6950X's price I was expecting some BIG performance gains...I was wrong, despite increasing the price for the X series from $1050 to $ 1750 we still only get these minor performance increases of which we are now accustomed to getting from Intel, plus 2 more measly cores.
I genuinely hope AMD becomes competitive on the CPU front again, 'cause Intel is in dire need of some competition.
