The editors didn't like
You'll need a good motherboard for overclocking
Price puts it out of range for many people
Extremely huge price tag
IHS uses thermal paste instead of solder
Some games might not work (Anno 2205)
Not substantially speedier
In many instances
Than AMD's 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
Which costs half as much
Extremely Expensive
Some Anomalous Benchmark Results
Not much faster than 'lesser' CPUs
Excessive power draw
Esp. when overclocked
Negligible gaming gains vs. i77700K
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...

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...
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...

A 4.5GHz overclock across 18 cores is a brilliant achievement for Intel as it reclaims the desktop performance crown, but only if you have an enormous bank account.8 Total ScoreIntel Core i9-7980XE ReviewAdd your review | Read reviews and comments...

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...
Abstract: We just got our hands on the high- end enthusiast-grade flagship processors from Intel and AMD, so rather than doing two standalone reviews, we're throwing them into the ring and letting ‘em slug it out to the bitter end. Because let's face it, if you can...

It's time once again to condense all of our test results into our famous value scatter plots. We use a geometric mean of all of our real-world results to ensure that no one test has an undue impact on the overall index. First up, let's look at gaming per...
