Abstract: Now with the motherboards having arrived, we can move on to our Intel Core-X Linux benchmarking. Here is an initial look at the Intel Core i7 7740X Kabylake-X processor.For those not yet well briefed on the Core-X series since the embargo expiry last week...
Great overall performance, Easy to overclock, Current LGA2011v3 CPU coolers will work, Inexpensive entry into the X299 platform
Only dual-channel memory support, Only 16 PCIe lanes
The i7-7740X is a very interesting part, as I said in the beginning of this review this is the first time Intel has released two generations of processors at the same time. Honestly when I first heard about the Kaby Lake-X parts I wondered what Intel was...

There's no reason to buy this CPU. It's a 7700K – which is a perfectly fine piece of silicon – but on a more expensive platform. Coupling the 7740X with an X299 results in a hamstrung, crippled motherboard the likes of which further complicates an already...
Better Power Consumption than Skylake, Very Reasonable Price, Excellent Single-threaded Performance
Very little performance advantage over the Core i7 7700K, More expensive platform than the similar perfoming Core i7 7700K
Intel has obviously put some serious work into optimizing their 14 nm process. Kaby Lake isn't a massive jump from Skylake, however it does offer higher speeds and lower power consumption. Both are gladly welcome.The Core i7 7740X preformed excellent in o...
So now that we have run through the X299 and Core X features and taken a look at the performance of the i9-7900X and the i7-7740X, where does everything land. Well first off, let me say right out of the hole that you have to keep in mind that X299 and...

Strong Performance, Good Overclockers, Feature Packed Platform, Fastest Desktop Processors To Date
Differing PCIe Lane Configurations May Cause Confusion, Pricing May Change When ThreadRipper Arrives
The Intel Core i9-7900X is easily the most powerful desktop processor we have tested to date. Its combination of 10-cores, with relatively high clocks, and larger L2 cache propel it into the lead in all of the multi-threaded benchmarks. The Core i7-7900X'...
The 7740X is a fun and relatively affordable CPU for the X299 platform. It will let you save for another year to buy Intel's 18 core behemoth, and then you can sell it to someone else who just saved enough for an X299 motherboard. However, most people don...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that Ive written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. Theres no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
High performance, Overclocking, 7740X entry-level HEDT, Turbo Core Max 3.0
Hot running when overclocked
So where do we start? As a performance platform, Intel's HEDT platforms have been the go-to systems for those that want the best that money can buy. Currently that dynamic still exists. Much like when AMD's Ryzen processors were released, there were some...
