The editors liked
Great multi-threaded performance
Sits in the sweet spot in the Core X-Series
Good overclocking performance
Current LGA2011v3 coolers will work on the new LGA2066 socket
Strong multithreaded performance
Workstation and productivity applications
Impressive performance in both single- and multi-core workloads
Least costly compatible motherboards are significantly less than for competing AMD Threadripper boards

SkylakeX topped our performance charts
Bringing a much better value over BroadwellE on the highend
The editors didn't like
Only 28 PCI-Express lanes
ThreadRipper 1920X offers much of the same plus full 64 PCIe lanes
Performance regression in some games and applications

Thermal paste
AMD's Ryzen 7 1800X isn't that far behind
Considering the much cheaper chip and compatible boards
Threadripper offers many more PCIe lanes (if you need them)
Not soldered
It's extremely power hungry and considerably more expensive than Ryzen equivalents
Intel's Core i7-7820X is a beast of a CPU, easily capable of plowing through gaming, transcoding, rendering and streaming all at the same time. Handily beating Intel's own i7-5960X of last generation across the board, and for a far lower street price of $...

Abstract: While the June launch of Intel's X-Series processors took the attention with the top-end Core i9 7900X Skylake-X and Core i7 7740X Kabylake-X processors, coming in several hundred dollars less than the i9-7900X is the i7-7820X, which still packs a very ha...

We have some interesting results to discuss. Let's start with the Core i7-6900K and 7820X.It was shocking to find that when comparing clock-for-clock performance using the same memory speed on both setups, the older 6900K was faster in every single game w...
Overall, the i7 7820X is a great improvement over the Haswell architecture in most cases. It's a pity I didn't have an i7 6900K (Broadwell) to compare the two since they're only one generation apart and there were some performance gains over Haswell. The...
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...

The Skylake-X-based Core i7-7820X offers strong multi-threaded performance and a lower price point than Intel's Broadwell-E equivalent. But we did experience some performance regression in a few game titles and applications. Core i7-7820X delivers the...

I think we can all agree that Skylake-X offers mighty impressive performance. The Core i9-7900X blows everything else out of the water and the 7820X does a good job of making Intel's previous-generation 8-core CPU look a little sluggish. Single and dual-t...

For Skylake-X, and by virtue the Skylake-SP core we will see in upcoming Skylake-SP Xeons, Intel decided to make a few changes this time around. The biggest microarchitecture change comes in three stages: the addition of an AVX-512 unit, the adjustment in...

Let's get the awkward bit out of the way first. Yes we were hoping to bring you a review of both the eight core i7-7820X and the ten core i9-7900X today, but for reasons best known to themselves Intel withheld samples from everyone because a couple of sit...
