Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...
If you're looking for a new processor and require AVX-512 vectorisation support, do a lot of video/photo editing, content creating, streaming or you have £900/$1000 to blow on a 10-core processor you probably won't get a better overall CPU than the Core i...
The i9-7900X is the most powerful CPU we've ever tested, and the fastest out-of-the-box consumer processor you can buy today. It also has loads of PCIe lanes which, when paired with an appropriate X299 motherboard, allows you to build a seriously powerful...

There has never been a worse time to buy a new high-end CPU. While it's safe to say that right now the Core i9 7900X is the fastest desktop processor around, that's in no way an invitation for you to think about buying one.AMD have confirmed their cheaper...

Superb out-of-the-box multi-threaded performance, Strong lightly-threaded performance thanks to Turbo Boost 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max 3.0, High all-core frequencies when overclocked, provided you can cool the chip, 44 PCIe lanes will appeal to multi-GPU use
Thermal performance is poor, Power consumption is very high, Extremely expensive and questionable value compared to AMD's Ryzen 7 offerings, Gaming performance in some titles not as strong as Kaby Lake or Broadwell-E
The Intel Core i9-7900X ‘Skylake-X' 10-core processor unlocks a new level of performance for enthusiast consumers. Multi-threaded performance is superb thanks to the use of ten physical cores with Hyper-Threading and quad-channel memory, while lightly-thr...

Incredible single and multi-core performance, Very easy to overclock (despite high temperatures), 10-Core and 20-Threads, Price was lower than expected from previous HEDT Intel offerings, Multitasking powerhouse, Great for gaming and heavy workloads, User
The price is a real wallet buster, Very hot, and even your usual 240mm AIOs may not be enough, Neutral, High power consumption, but more cores and higher clock speeds will do that, “The high temperatures and price may have you sweating, but when it comes
PricingThe Intel Core i9-7900X is a priced all over the place. If it's in stock at the big name stores, you can pick it up for around £949.99. However, I've seen it listed on Amazon for almost £1200 directly from Intel, which is just ridiculous. How can t...
Performance regression in some games, Price, Poor thermal performance
Intel's Skylake-X-based Core i9-7900X weighs in with 10 Hyper-Threaded cores and architectural enhancements that benefit many workstation-class workloads, such as rendering and content creation. The processor struggles in some games compared to its predec...
Intel allows high-end desktops to achieve much higher performances by introducing Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X. This is certainly good news for content creators, who could use the higher performance for 3D-rendering, video editing or other demanding, creativ...
Software optimisations needed, bang4buck hasn't improved much
Wouldn't it be nice if the world's leading chip giants launched new processor series that worked perfectly and made implicit sense?That's the hope, but having witnessed AMD's Ryzen arrive with teething issues ranging from memory support to hesitant in...
If Skylake-X appeared in a year's time as a blatant reaction to AMD's shenanigans, one would rightly suggest that what we've seen today is an indicator of Intel ramping things up to prevent AMD eating into its market share. However, Skylake-X has landed b...
