Either way, IMO it's a great move for users - especially those that want to upgrade in the future.

Sorry, but I don't see at all how this is a great move for users. I mean from now you will have to start paying top dollars for a new motherboard, RAM, cooling solutions, etc. Everything will be more and more expensive.
Sorry, but this is not a great move at all. might be for Intel, but definitely not End Users.

112W seems realistic for this part. 7700K was pretty hungry already.
I agree the TIM is surprising, but we don't know anything about it. It doesn't have to be the same material they use in LGA1151.

As for anything else you've mentioned: it's fairly obvious that Intel decided to move OC-oriented CPUs from LGA1151 to LGA2066.
I won't be surprised if Kaby Lake successor (whatever it will be in the end...) has no -K CPUs at all. This would finally become a consumer platform - designed for stability and features.

The 7700k came with a HD 630 at 91W TDP, this axes the iGPU and rises the TDP. Makes no sense what so ever.

I don't understand why this is such a shock.
How much do you have to pay AMD to get >40 PCIe lanes at this point?

You can't as they have no such thing yet.

AFAIK the IGP's power consumption is not included in TDP.
In most tests I've seen 7700K consumes around 90W in pure CPU tasks (and in heavy load with a dGPU).

Very true!
So how can @Prima.Vera evaluate whether $1000 is too high, when there's nothing to compare? :)

Because this would separate the "consumer/business" and "gaming/OC" segments.
So someone looking for feature-rich LGA1151 might not be forced to get a gaming/OC-oriented model anymore.
On the other hand, the whole gaming/OC ecosystem would be kept on a single socket (with much wider price range). So it's less likely that someone would have to upgrade from one socket to another.

there is a 7800x benchmark leaked, 7800x 3,5ghz vs ryzen 1600x which the 7800x has nearly 50% performance in term of single and multi http://wccftech.com/intel-core-i7-7800x-7900x-i9-7900x-cpu-benchmarks-leaked/ .....

As expected.
If these leaks turn out to be true, we'll simply get back to normality in the Intel vs AMD race. Intel will win in performance, AMD will win in value.

At this point the latest price drops of Ryzen 7 are a lot easier to understand. They did the consumer 7 cores earlier, they had their 5 minutes.
Now it's time to drop to a realistic price.
That's what competition is all about. Thanks Intel!
