  1. About that IGP removed from KabyLake-X, that's a thing that was requested by consumers (don't know how much though). In the idea that instead of space & thermals used needlessly by the IGP, intel would better just make the CPU better and let the graphics for the actual GPU. I for one I am glad to see that, though the specs I find show 7740X having just 100MHz more base clock and the same 4.5GHz boost clock. Lame. For everything else... yeah, WTF intel. This shows to me that they have NO confidence in their own products. I see no other reason to rush things this much and come up with this extremely lame release. They really are afraid that if they waited 2-3 more months to come with an actual coherent line-up they would somehow lose too much market or something. But I think this poor launch actually helped AMD more than if intel hadn't had said or released anything at Computex. Also, I'm not (...yet..) anti-intel, I'm not on the bandwagon that they are just ripping and milking consumers etcetc, because I don't know for certain if that is true or those money are actually well spent. Anyway, on this x299 launch, they announced that they would allow bootable RAID 1 and RAID 10 for NVMe by buying a 99$ physical key (or something like that). Sooo, physical keys ? In 2017 ? That's so anti-consumer I can't even.... Fuck intel for this thing alone. I hope their value halves and those that are in charge now get fired and end up in poverty.
