Maybe I'm cynical, but almost 6 years between models and "just" doubling of CPU seems a bit weak - at least if the price stays about the same.

It's a nice upgrade all in all, but seems more like they actually used the PCIe a bit better and called it a day.

Well, won’t matter anyway I guess. Scalpers will buy everything, put a stupid price on, and call it a day. Shops will struggle with stock as well I suppose. Not so ubiquitous as it was before…

I hope I’m wrong though

My guess is that commercial customers will get first choice leaving almost no stock for scalper/end-users.
