For gaming specifically I don't think anyone wants this particular processor. Think of this build as a $1500 GPU with a computer thrown in. Is the computer worth $750? Yup. Therein lies the deal.
You can't just drop that without explaining, haha.
My ex girlfriend was not a sane person.

fyi if anyone else bought the i7 5080 deal , I messaged dell and they gave me a $100 credit via chat. I tried to cancel and reorder but my order shipped today.
why? dont suck into the AMD hype if you are not getting it cheap. You are in the 99.0% consumers who will be fine with either of these high end processors
How is a chip that is known to have voltage issues that deteriorate the silicon, turn into "AMD hype" as you put it?

Be sure to upgrade the firmware. Aurora desktops have a "disappearing hard drive" problem. The Dell SupportAssist application will take care of it for you.

No one knows, nobody has identified it to be a problem with newer gen CPU. This ultra version is 2nd generation. 1st gen Intel ultras were proven to be lot better than 13th/14 gens.

I thought that's related to Sammy's 990 Pro Nvmes, or both?
