I think we can assume that is fairly accurate from all the other information we have thus far.

The 10 core chip is the only chip that is attractive to me though to be honest. And it is way overpriced.

Some really low base clocks like 2.6/2.8/2.9Ghz there too.

A few reviews of Intel's 7900X show the processor throttling due to heat, when overclocked. It's entirely possible that the processors with more cores have lower frewuencies because they reach their thermal limit faster than the 10-core part.

Intel should go back to soldering the heatspreader and forget the cheaper TIM solution they've been using, at least for high end processors like these ones.

Yeah. I honestly dont get why Intel just doesn't go back to Indium based solder for the heatspreader. Everyone has been screaching at them to do it, but they continue to resist.
I would assume it's to increase profit margins and make the manufacturing process easier and quicker.
