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...

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...

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...
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...
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...
High core count, Overclocking, Multi-threaded performance
Low base frequency, High price for performance, High heat when overclocked
With these two processors, we get some good and some not so good performance characteristics. On one hand, in just about every test the Core i9 7980XE and Core i9 7960X are the cream of the crop when it comes to pure processing power. On the other hand, I...
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...
