Dual Socket Motherboards

Solution
If it's not been made clear already: no, dual socket mobos for mainstream CPUs do not exist. And even if they did those CPUs wouldn't support dual-CPU configurations. And even if they did, there'd be no point in doing so compared to just getting a single, higher core count CPU.

there are no consumer level 2 CPU motherboard , The CPU itself does not support multi CPU connections.

anyways , why do you want dual CPU ? you can have upto 18 cores today using single CPU .. and since you are not spending much I doubt that you can pay for two 18 cores CPUs anyways

I wasn't planning on buying a dual CPU setup I was just curious, if there were Dual socket motherboards for something like a 7700 then it would be interesting to see the benchmarks, and preformance, it would also be cheaper to buy 2 7700's then to buy an i9

Not really , 2x 7700 is around $680 which will give you 8 cores/ 16 threads .

and the Intel Core i7-7820X is 8 cores/16 threads and costs less $599

A 7820x is an i7... and 2 7700 would be the same price as a 7820x, 2 7700k's would be more expensive than a 7820x

and ?

you want 2x 7700 thats 8 cores .

i9 starts with 10 cores .

This is a theoretical, I don't want them, this was just to see information, and 8 cores compared to 10 cores when your talking about basic application like 3D rendering or programming isn't that big of difference, imo 8 - 10 cores really only makes a difference when your building a server.

Why are you insisting on 10 cores and i9 when all your subject was about 2x7700 ?

as I said ,2xi7-7700 are comparable to i7-7820X and not the i9 at all. and price wise , the 1 cpu is cheaper. so there is no point anymore in having dual CPUs of i7-7700 as you wanted to see.

You mentioned the 18 cores above, so why are you complaining that I mentioned an I9 before? Which an I9 is even closer to what I was talking about then what you were saying...

I mentioned the 18 cores for the maximum cores count in a single consumer CPU you can get today. was not comparing to 2x i7 7700 when I said that.

I wasn't comparing anything either, you mentioned an i7 7820x, I was asking a theoretical question, this wasn't suppose to be for comparing anything really, I was literally trying to look this up for fun
