Abstract: Intel. Strikes. Back. The massive 18-core Core i9-7980X and 16-core Core i8-7960X are the chipmaker's response to AMD's Ryzen Threadripper, which has been eating Intel's lunch for many months.But can Goliath Intel rise from its stunning defeat to challeng...
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
$700 pricier than AMD's competing 16-core counterpart
Intel's 16-core Core i9 chip hews close to its pricier 18-core Core i9 Extreme Edition counterpart. It's a powerful chip, no denying, but AMD's competing Threadripper 1950X, at many hundreds of bucks less, is strong competition. Read More...

We had a blast testing these monster CPU's out. Every single benchmark we ran was just crushed, and every single chart we have had to be expanded by nearly double to accommodate the multi-threaded scores. We had a few testing programs not know quite what...
Well one thing is for sure, you can't call the new addition to the Core-X lineup slow. While I was only able to test two of the four new CPUs. Both were very impressive in just about every test I ran. It was especially impressive in the tests that are...

Fastest overall workstation performance available, especially for compression

As usual we have quite a bit of data to sort through. Of course, it's not just about delivering the best performance and instead most people are interested in bang for their buck.First up we have Blender, this is a lower is better scenario which is why th...

But as I stated at the outset of this review, while performance per dollar is the king of metrics for consumers in the mainstream space, for HEDT and workstation users, sometimes expense is no object, within reason. For those types of buyers, the 18-core...

Killer Multi-Threaded Performance, Good Power Consumption, Insane Performance When Overclocked, Better Single-Thread Performance Then Ryzen
Extremely Expensive, Some Anomalous Benchmark Results
Intel Core i9-7980XE And Core i9-7960X Processors -- Find Them At AmazonWe can't wrap up this article without referencing AMD's impressive Threadripper processors. Whether it's publicly acknowledged or not, the stealthy nature of Threadripper's developmen...

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...
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...
