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

  • Frequenze Turbo Boost che migliorano le prestazioni single-thread, throughput IPC, prestazioni in multi-thread,
  • Prezzo, consumi, richiede un raffreddamento a liquido, scarsa dissipazione termica,
  • Con queste CPU di fascia alta desktop Intel punta a chi ricerca le massime prestazioni. Da questo primo round di test è chiaro che il Core i9-7960X colpisce nel segno con molti carichi di lavoro che sfruttano i thread come il rendering, la codifica e la c...

  • Enorm starke CPU, Akzeptable TDP
  • Kaum besser als die Konkurrenz, Teuer
  • Intel läuft zu Bestform auf: Der Intel Core i9-7960X ist nicht nur leistungsfähiger, sondern auch effizienter als die direkte Konkurrenz von AMD. Der erste Platz auf dem Siegertreppchen war aber denkbar knapp erkämpft. Und den winzigen Leistungsvorteil lä...
