The editors liked
Better Power Consumption than Skylake
Very Reasonable Price
Excellent Single-threaded Performance
Great overall performance
Easy to overclock
Current LGA2011v3 CPU coolers will work
Inexpensive entry into the X299 platform
Performance in lightly threaded applications
Higher overclock ceiling
Higher base memory frequency
High base clock speed
Much more affordable than higher-end Core X-Series CPUs
"Kaby Lake" base architecture means better support for 4K streaming than on higher-end "Skylake X" CPUs
Strong Performance
Good Overclockers
Feature Packed Platform

Kaby LakeX offers no apparent advantages over Kaby Lake and actually performs worse in every category
The editors didn't like
Very little performance advantage over the Core i7 7700K
More expensive platform than the similar perfoming Core i7 7700K
Only dual-channel memory support
Only 16 PCIe lanes
X299 chipset
Disabled PCIe and memory features (X299)
Price
Similar performance to the Core i7-7700K
But on a pricier platform with costlier motherboards
Only 16 PCI Express lanes on the CPU
Six-core Core X chip costs just $50 more
Supports more lanes
Differing PCIe Lane Configurations May Cause Confusion
Pricing May Change When ThreadRipper Arrives
Not soldered
Slightly slower than Kaby Lake yet consumes considerably more power and costs more courtesy of the X299 motherboard

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...

Abstract: THE REVEAL OF Intel's latest round of premium enthusiast CPUs – based around the new X299 chipset – was a bit of a break in tradition. In addition to the expected top-end Skylake-X platform, which ranges from the six-core Core i7-7800X to the 10-core Core...

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...

Intel LGA2066 platform brought new generations of CPUs, ranging from 4 to 18 cores. Today I've tested the Skylake-X 8-core SKU- i7-7820X – and Kabylake-X flagship – i7-7740X (4-core).The CPUs are good, especially in overclocking where 5GHz is not a proble...

Abstract: Earlier this year we updated our CPU buying guide putting Ryzen front and center, and while that guide is due for an update now that Ryzen 3 and Threadripper have landed, those picks are still as valid today as they were back then with the Ryzen 5 1600 of...

Abstract: In last month's review of the Intel Core i9-7900X, there were two caveats keeping us from giving the platform an unmitigated recommendation. The first is the fact that the platform's most powerful processors won't launch until October. The second is that...

Abstract: Intel's direction for the high-end desktop space has taken an interesting turn. After several years of iterative updates, slowly increasing core counts and increasing IPC, we have gotten used to being at least one generation of microarchitecture behind th...
