Abstract: Besides the embargo expiring this morning on the Intel Core i9 7960X, the Core i9 7980XE Extreme Edition processor is also now fair game. Here is our look at the Linux performance for this 18 core / 36 thread processor within a single 165 Watt package.Th...

Before we reach for our thesaurus in an attempt to describe the performance of the i9-7980XE in sufficiently flowery verbiage we do need to stop ignoring the elephant in the room before our forums become knee-deep in elephant poo.Yes, the AMD Ryzen 1950X...
Most powerful consumer CPU you can buy, 36 computing threads for extreme multitasking or very serious video editors, Least-expensive Core X motherboards are cheaper than ones for competing AMD Threadripper platform
Not substantially speedier, in many instances, than AMD's 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, which costs half as much
Intel's top-end, 18-core Extreme Edition Core X-Series CPU tops the performance charts, blowing away 2016's Extreme Edition chip. But AMD's Ryzen Threadripper isn't far behind—and is a far superior value. Read More...

Killer Multi-Threaded Performance, Good Power Consumption, Insane Performance When Overclocked, Better Single-Thread Performance Then Ryzen
Extremely Expensive, Some Anomalous Benchmark Results
Intel Core i9-7980XE And Core i9-7960X Processors -- Find Them At AmazonWe can't wrap up this article without referencing AMD's impressive Threadripper processors. Whether it's publicly acknowledged or not, the stealthy nature of Threadripper's developmen...

Fastest overall workstation performance available, especially for compression
Terrible value compared to AMD's Threadripper chips. No ECC memory support
As usual we have quite a bit of data to sort through. Of course, it's not just about delivering the best performance and instead most people are interested in bang for their buck.First up we have Blender, this is a lower is better scenario which is why th...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

Intel does manage to definitively claim the highest performing slots in our benchmarks, but also manages to claim the award for consuming the most power, using the worst stock thermal solution, and requiring more money to be spent on CLCs or high-end cool...
The 7980XE and 7960X are super expensive, and Intel has made them that way for a reason; they are niche products that offer more all-around performance than what is out there on the market. The best analogy I can think of is one where a 7700K is like a BM...
So that wraps everything up for Skylake X and let me tell you this is going to be a hard one to wrap up. The reason for that should be pretty much self-evident: everyone wants the underdog to win and that means you were hoping for Threadripper to gain the...
