Intel Core i9 release dates http://wccftech.com/intel-core-x-core-i9-7980xe-18-core-october-launch-12-core-august/ Looks like for web hosting at least Intel Core i7 7820X and 7800X would be the sweet spot as a step up from the usual 4 core / 8 thread Intel offerings. Core i7 7820X even manages +0.1Ghz higher clocks with extra 2 cores/4 threads !

Everything ain't rosy on Intel Core X i9 Skylake-X The ongoing testing of Intel's X299 and i9-7900X | PC Gamer
And https://www.techspot.com/review/1433-intel-core-i9-core-i7-skylake-x/ benchmarks look like Intel Core i7 7820X is giving AMD Ryzen 7 1800X a good run for not much in price difference
Alot of improvements to be made on Intel Core X side still Review: Asus Prime X299-A - Mainboard - HEXUS.net
Linux benchmarks for Intel Core i9 7900X Intel Core i9 7900X Linux Benchmarks Review - Phoronix bring on AMD ThreadRipper ! For now Intel Core i9 7900X was ~79% faster than AMD Ryzen 7 1800X AND ~141% faster than Intel Core i7 7740 Skylake-X.
Fine folks at STH have more AMD Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen 3 New Pricing and Launch Dates The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X at $999 will go right up against the Intel Core i9 7900X Skylake-X at $999
same info AMD Threadripper 1920X and 1950X CPU Details: 12/16 Cores, 4 GHz Turbo, $799 and $999 with additional info that AMD Threadripper will support up to 1TB of memory ! AMD Threadripper 1950X vs Intel Core i9 7980XE vs Intel Xeon Gold 6150 Skylake-SP AMD Threadripper 1950X vs Threadripper 1920X vs Ryzen 7 1800X AMD Threadripper 1920X vs Intel Core i7 7820X vs Intel Core i9 7900X Cinebench results !
GCC vs Clang compilers on Intel Core i9 7900X GCC vs. Clang Compilers On The Intel Core i9 With Clear Linux - Phoronix guess that blows my urgency in getting GCC 7.1 support for Centmin Mod seeing as it isn't benefiting the newer cpus at least for Intel Core i9 Skylake-X and AVX-512 instructions. Though would need to see GCC 5.3 and GCC 6.2 results to compare too.
yeah it is.. one Aussie retailer is accepting pre-orders for AMD Threadripper but price is scary in AUS $$$ https://www.mwave.com.au/searchresult?w=Threadripper AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920x 12 core = AUD$1,150 AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x 16 core = AUD$1,440 beasts in performance and price
