Intel Core i9 7900X processor review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/19/2017 03:00 PM [ 181 comment(s) ]

In this article we'll review the 10-core Core i9 7900X from Intel. Despite many announcements this is the most versatile (in cores) processor has got to offer for you starting today, the $999 Core i9 7900X that sits in the new Core X line of processors.

Damn it's quick, I'll give 'em that, but is it worth the cost?

It's marginally faster than an 1800X, which is half the price. The ONLY advantage I can see this having is the ability to OC individual cores higher than the whole lot. This is the sole reason I've not bought into Ryzen yet, I want dynamic overclocking.

So looks like the 4.3Ghz rumors were bunk. However holy s*it batman that power consumption. This product definitely looks rushed. Saying Intel hit the panic button may turn out to be true.

Even at stock frequencies the power consumption was through the roof. Then overclocked no real noticeable improvement in performance that Hilbert shows in the benches he ran. The power went up even further. There is no way anyone should attempt to run one of these on air (not even a D15).

If TR has improved gaming performance with the increased bandwidth it will definitely be the winner all around.

Just wish they would make a 8 core SR3 CPU. I don't really need a 10 or 12 core.

This one looks great!
Intel haters, just go, ok, there's nothing for you here.

Can't wait for a proper >10 core CPU from Intel, with a rumoured mesh topology (versus ring, which probably is powering this 10-core part).

Hilbert, there are some... references to Ryzen CPU in review... not comparison, but wording like "Directly connected to four PCIe lanes on the Ryzen"... it is not the only instance.
