Yeah, Im not sure how I feel about this one, my decently overclocked 3960x is pushing physics scores close to that of my 7800x, a processor released 6 years after it, and beating it in the combined score. I might pit them head to head in a more standard fashion, but X79 for daily use is still acceptable, albeit long in the tooth. Obvious benefits of X299 are DDR4, M.2 support without hacky bios mods, and usb 3.1. Even though I daily a different X299 motherboard, I wouldnt buy one for a daily used rig now.
