Skylake-X (Core i9) - Lineup, Specifications and Reviews!

Not sure. Let's find out. Post up a benchmark of your choosing and I will run it at the same clocks.
Would you happen to have a benchmark of yours at your current speed? I can probably put mine to that and test it. Thanks!

Sure...This is my 24/7 overclock. 4.8GHz @ 1.285v

I got 1722 for multicore and 175 for single. (At current cpu speed)
Sucks but more than enough. The fastest 4/8 cpu might be a bit better in games.

1722 is pretty much what I get with my 1700 Ryzen at 3.9 and 160 single core. I doubt you would see a ton of difference in games, especially at 4K.
 
How much faster is the 7820x than my 5960x clock for clock?
I game at 4k, Rift, and browse.

Cinebench 15 the 7820x post a 201 single thread whilst your 5960x posts a 183. I wouldn't suggest that you would even see a difference to be honest.

The 7700K remains the IPC monster of basically everything on Earth right now in the consumer segment. For now... I am thinking that that new 8700K is going to surpass this just because the clockspeed bump the otherwise slightly modified Kaby Lake arch is going to get. Im thinking of getting an 8700k in a miniitx btw :)

To put it in perspective to AMD, my 1950x is about a 169-172 depending on how my system is doing that day, you know what background crap I have running etc...

Clock for clock, with my 7820x, I get pretty much identical (or better) single thread performance as the 7700k. IPC is about the same, or better.

Tom Logan from OC3D says he has a 7980XE, review done and uploaded, embargo lifting on Monday.

 
Well ASRock always rules the roost in terms of value per dollar spent... they have $230 x299 motherboards with more features than motherboards from other companies that retail for $100 more.

Professional Gaming i9 would be my pick. Only x299 motherboard I've seen with a 10 Gbps LAN port on it and two additional bonus 1 Gbps LAN ports in addition to the obligatory 802.11ac, 3x M.2, 8x SATA, etc. yet it's still cheaper than some of the crap GIGABYTE and ASUS have put out that don't even have dual LAN ports, let alone a 10 Gbps port, and they have the audacity to charge >$400 for.

That's the board that I'm gonna get for my 7980xe build. I don't know why nobody else has included 10gbe lan port on any of the top dog boards out there.
 
VRM cooling needs to be considered...especially with the high core count chips. I would not buy anything without a heatpipe setup at the very least.

I like my professional gaming i9 board, it runs cool and like you said, it has a ton of features. I used to think Asrock was trash but my last two Asrock motherboards have been phenomenal.
 

Copying my comment from Reddit.

Heavily misleading video, big disappointment coming from GamersNexus. Unless I am misinterpreting their bench (please correct me).

https://i.imgur.com/yTjHxi8.png

The TIM results are non-delidded, stock Intel TIM. Whereas the LM results are delidded. This ignores the IHS/Adhesive gap in a stock configuration, so the results are affected by more than just the paste. Removing the stock adhesive will improve temperatures.

In order for this bench to be accurate, he would need a tube of Intel's stock TIM, then de-lid and re-lid with the stock paste vs LM. He didn't mention the IHS adhesive at all during the video.
 
7940/60X on back order for 10-20 days?


Barely any stock from Intel or selling really well
 
My money is on barely any stock of them. They know very few are going to buy those chips.

Yep , probably not very many of them out there.
Something to understand though;
These 79xx series chips are all pretty much just neutered skylake Xeons.
I just ordered a pair of skylake xeons , I can tell you this:
Intel did not even have MSRP's for the skylake xeons until 2 weeks ago.I got a Canadian price last week,and ordered on the spot.I'm still 3 weeks away.
I'm not even sure if the complete Xeon list is even available yet.....
So waiting for skylake X will happen for-sure.

I just noticed the # 3 rank on your Cinebench...3930k is what I am running right now.
Maaaan.......I can NOT fuckin wait.

Lots of reviews on the 7960x and 7980xe, but I finally found one on the 7940x:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/a...-Performance-Core-i9-7940X-7960X-7980XE-1034/

As some of us predicted, it is the real value champion of the HCC group. Unlike TR, as cores are added, this only declines MT speed. The 7920x falls behind, possibly from the lower tdp of the rest (lower binning?).

It is a similiar story with the LCC. One user (Tahoe) managed 4.8 ghz 24/7 on the 8 core. I have seen nothing close to this on the 10 core, and I am not talking suicide runs.

We seen in many reviews now where the 7960x matxhes the 7980xe in st and mt. Max o/c performance is similiar as well since the 7960x can usually hit about 200 mhz higher clocks.

For those looking at the big boy Intel chips, the 7940x looks to be just ad good as the rest and POSSIBLY worthy of the price increase over the 1950x.
 
I would just overclock the individual 4 cores for 24/7 use. If Intel and AMD are gonna throw even more cores at us the next round, I believe this approach will become standard for most.

Nice to see a 7940x review. Its definately interesting how much it can be overclocked and performance vs. the 7980x. However this review lacks two important things. 4k ram and overclocking. Also, the test shows a 25% average speedup from the 6core to the 14 core? Then those applications are terrible at threading or seriously starved for data.

Shit, now I'm really tempted to get the 7940X...
 
I have reading many reviews and not only performance but power consumption is excellent. Often the 18C draws less power from the wall that 16C ThreadRipper, with 34% better efficiency over ThreadRipper even in AMD favorable benches

But is it $1000 worth? If you keep it for maybe 10+ years?
 
Again shows huge difference to Ryzen. Guess Haswell IPC wasn't a thing, far from ;)
 
Not available on Newegg at the moment, but B&H are still taking preorders at RCP. Shows expected availability starting October 23.

i9-7940X
i9-7960X
i9-7980XE

As tempting as it is I've decided to sit this one out and put the money into my car instead. I know, I'm such a preppie.
