The fastest slice of silicon going, Good gaming performance, Improved memory support, Modern complement of I/O
Not that much faster than Threadripper 1950X, Fewer PCIe lanes than the competition, Power hungry, Continual use of TIM instead of solder, High clock speeds and quiet systems out of the question without custom liquid cooling or delidding
That Intel finds itself in a place where its flagship processors just barely scrape past the competition is an astonishing turn of events. It might well continue to offer the best gaming performance in the mainstream, where gaming continues to be the key...

The results basically speak for themselves. If you would like to compare your own system(s) Linux performance against the results found in this article, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1709241-TY-INTELCORE86...
Abstract: Intel. Strikes. Back. The massive 18-core Core i9-7980X and 16-core Core i8-7960X are the chipmaker's response to AMD's Ryzen Threadripper, which has been eating Intel's lunch for many months.But can Goliath Intel rise from its stunning defeat to challeng...
Similar performance, in many relevant instances, to Intel's pricier 18-core chip, Compatible Core X-Series motherboards start at lower prices than boards for AMD's Threadripper
$700 pricier than AMD's competing 16-core counterpart
Intel's 16-core Core i9 chip hews close to its pricier 18-core Core i9 Extreme Edition counterpart. It's a powerful chip, no denying, but AMD's competing Threadripper 1950X, at many hundreds of bucks less, is strong competition. Read More...

We had a blast testing these monster CPU's out. Every single benchmark we ran was just crushed, and every single chart we have had to be expanded by nearly double to accommodate the multi-threaded scores. We had a few testing programs not know quite what...
Well one thing is for sure, you can't call the new addition to the Core-X lineup slow. While I was only able to test two of the four new CPUs. Both were very impressive in just about every test I ran. It was especially impressive in the tests that are...

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...

But as I stated at the outset of this review, while performance per dollar is the king of metrics for consumers in the mainstream space, for HEDT and workstation users, sometimes expense is no object, within reason. For those types of buyers, the 18-core...
