I've been waiting 3 gens lol...
In all honesty though, the 8 p cores clocked @ something like 5.5ghz with no E's is pretty damn powerful and has way less power and heat.
The other day I did a little test on RealBench and clocked the 8 p cores @ 5ghz and all E cores @ default which I think was 4.4ghz and it wasn't far off 80°c..
So, I decided to clock the 16x E cores @ 3.2ghz to see what would happen and the cpu only ran @ 40°c so I was like

holy shit.
These CPU's can be manipulated in such a way that they can run beautifully cool and efficient for most people's needs.
The problem intel is facing is that majority of these customers want the so-called out the box processor speeds which is 6ghz + on the 2 cores and pumps excessive voltage to get there and I doubt most of them would have custom loops to achieve that. This was something I was never happy with out of the box, hence my own manipulation. It just ran far too hot for my liking. Even with a custom loop. I feel sad for all these i9's on an HSF & AIO's on the old stock BIOSes

I'm into efficiency these days and will sure enough have spurts of OC for fun along the way but will now manipulate my CPU's and GPU's the way
I want for best efficiency on 24/7 operation
