The editors liked
Great Multi-threaded Performance
Very Reasonable Price
Far easier overclocking than Haswell and Broadwell
The i9-7900X is the most powerful consumer CPU money can buy
High clock speeds out of the box
Improved memory support
Modern complement of IO
Lots of PCIe lanes (with an i9-7900X at least)

Pros
10/20 cost now $999
10 cores and 20 processing threads
For $700 less than last year's comparable chip
Single-threaded performance on par with Core i7-7700K
10 cores and 20 processing threads for $999
Speedy single-threaded performance
Strong Performance
Good Overclockers
Feature Packed Platform
Fastest Desktop Processors To Date
Great multi-core performance
Improved single-core performance
Best performing desktop processor to date
Easy to overclock
Current LGA2011v3 CPU coolers will work
X299 platform is great
Strong single-core performance
Beats Threadripper 1950X at multi-threaded media encoding
Monolithic quad-channel memory interface
Fewer things to configure
Plenty of aftermarket cooling solutions
SkylakeX topped our performance charts
Bringing a much better value over BroadwellE on the highend
The editors didn't like
The i9-7900X costs £900/$1000
AMD's Ryzen offers 75 percent of the performance for well under half the price
The quad-core i7-7740X makes no sense—buy a 7700K instead
Confusing product stack that limits platform features
Power hungry
Requires a £100

Runs hot when overclocked
Similar gaming issues at 1080p as AMD Ryzen chips
New LGA 2066 socket requires a new (and expensive) motherboard
Still pricey compared to Ryzen 7
Relatively pricey
Requires new
Expensive motherboard
Not the fastest at Full HD gaming
Runs hot
Differing PCIe Lane Configurations May Cause Confusion
Pricing May Change When ThreadRipper Arrives
Staggered released
Still 4 Core i9 processors yet to come out
Prices could change with Ryzen ThreadRipper comes out
High price
High idle power draw
No ECC memory support
Fewer PCIe lanes than Threadripper
It's extremely power hungry and considerably more expensive than Ryzen equivalents
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...

Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...

The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

For many use cases, the Intel Xeon E-2136 is all that you will need. It provides high clock speeds and lots of performance that puts the entire Intel Xeon E3-1200 V6 line to shame. If you are a dedicated web host, using the Intel Xeon E-2136 is going to b...

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.
