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

  • Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

  • Not entirely unexpected, but Intel is back in the lead in most multi-threaded CPU-benchmarks. It would be difficult for them not to be: the Core i9 7980XE with 18-cores has two cores more compared with AMD's top model Threadripper 1950X. Aside from that...

  • Intel unabashedly aims its high-end desktop CPUs at those seeking the ultimate in performance, and from our first round of testing, it's apparent that Core i9-7960X delivers this across a range of heavily threaded workloads like rendering, encoding, and f...

  • Cabría esperar un rendimiento bestial en comparación, incluso, con el top que teníamos antes, el 7900X. Pero no es así del todo. Si bien en rendimiento sintético el 7890XE le pasa la mano por la cara a los demás, no es así ni en todos los casos ni en todo...
