How Much Does it Cost?I have seen the prices of this CPU vary wildly from multiple retailers. However, the average seems to be around £2100, such as this one on Amazon at £2082.49. That's a freaking crapload of money, and I refuse to sugar coat that fact...

Massive all-round performance, A simple upgrade for anyone currently using the X299 platform, Excellent compatibility with a range of DDR4 memory, Supports AVX-512 instructions, Better thermals than i9-7980XE when you overclock
Offers minimal performance benefits over i9-7980XE, Pure CPU tests show the advantage of Threadripper 2990WX, Brutal power draw when you overclock to the maximum, Very expensive when compared with AMD Threadripper
Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition claims to be a 9th Generation CPU, however it is clearly a repackaged Core i9-7980XE with different voltage and speed curves that has been topped off with a soldered heat spreader. When we compare the two CPUs on Auto...
As well as topping several of our graphs despite being up against the best that AMD has to offer and offering small but tangible gains over the Core i9-7980XE, Intel still has that all-round great performance which many of AMD's CPUs still can't match, es...
Excellent IPC, Predictable performance, Strong in all areas, Slots into existing X299
Remains really expensive
It used to be the case that Intel's chief consumer processor automatically gained the title of fastest in the world. That is no more.AMD has raised the game with Ryzen Threadripper, upping the processing density to 32 cores and 64 threads, and it's in...
The most expensive HEDT chip on the market, More affordable CPUs tail closely in benchmarks
At the end of the day, the Core i9-9980XE is the undisputed champion of the HEDT processor world that puts Intel on top again. However, you should take a long, hard look at whether the best performance is worth paying $1,979 (about £1,520, AU$2,800) for.A...
We recently updated our Linux testing suite a wee bit, making minor changes, but at the expense of dropping all single-threaded benchmarks – by accident. We hadn't thought much about every single set of results being hugely optimized for core counts, whic...
Regardless of what your budget is, there's a CPU that can meet your needs without emptying your bank account. Faster and more efficient CPUs are released every year, so there's no reason to pay for more than what you really need. But if you're an avid gam...

As we said in our introduction, in the past the concept of a new flagship Intel processor was always so much better than anything that had come before and anything that was available from AMD in their wilderness years that it topped all of our graphs, dro...

Users (and investors) always want to see a year-on-year increase in performance in the products being offered. For those on the leading edge, where every little counts, dropping $2k on a new processor is nothing if it can be used to its fullest. For those...
The Intel Core i9-9980XE is an interesting beast. Let's get this out of the way, Intel has, and continues to be "the" processor to have if you are a gamer. Intel has better IPC and core clocks than anything AMD has to offer. There is a big caveat to that...
