The editors liked

  • The fastest slice of silicon going
  • Good gaming performance
  • Improved memory support
  • Modern complement of I/O
  • 16 cores
  • 32-threads
  • Incredible multi-threaded performance
  • Good temperatures at default speeds
  • 35% performance increase over the i9-7900X
  • Turbo Boost frequencies improve singlethreaded performance
  • Leading IPC throughput
  • Multithreaded performance
  • 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
  • Killer Multi-Threaded Performance
  • Good Power Consumption
  • Insane Performance When Overclocked
  • Better Single-Thread Performance Then Ryzen
  • Nearly as fast as the i9
  • Fastest overall workstation performance available
  • Especially for compression

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • You'll need a good motherboard for overclocking
  • Quite expensive
  • Poor thermal dissipation
  • Requires water cooling
  • Power consumption
  • Price
  • $700 pricier than AMD's competing 16-core counterpart
  • Extremely Expensive
  • Some Anomalous Benchmark Results
  • Diminishing returns as price increases
  • Overclocking needs a serious PSU and HSF
  • The i78700K is a far more sensible gaming CPU
  • Terrible value compared to AMD's Threadripper chips. No ECC memory support

  • 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...

  • The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

  • By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

  • Abstract:  It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...

  • Whoa… we've finally arrived. Allow me to reiterate a couple of things said at the outset. First, this is not meant to be an in-depth article, despite the number of benchmarks run. All of these results help paint an overall picture of performance on AMD's...

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  we know for a fact that the best consumer processor money can buy right now is Intel's Core i9-7980XE. Its 18 cores of brutality lay waste to most, if not all, multithreaded tasks you can throw its way. And single-core? Well, it's enough to make most of t...

  • So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...

  • In the 2000s, we had the frequency wars. Trying to pump all the MHz into a single core ended up mega-hurting one company in particular, until the push was made to multi-core and efficient systems. Now in the 2010s, we have the Core Wars. You need to have...
