Core i9 7900X and 7920X Benchmarks
It isn’t much to show for, but the First Core i9 benchmarks have surface. Last Friday the specifications of the new Core i7 and Core i9 range already leaked onto the web. This round some benchmarks have leaked.
As stated it isn’t much, but it does confirm the existence of Core i9, indicating that the info that leaked last Friday is to be very likely.
The two highest rated procs, i9 7900X and 7920X have been tested on some integer and floating point calculations. These benchmarks These would be the 10 and 12 core models.
The 10 core i9-7900X scores 107 points in a single core config and 1467 points with all of them activated. The base clock frequency of this proc is 3.1 GHz, the Turbo however is not listed. The 2.9 GHz clocked 7920X 12 core proc had a better score in single threaded perf at 130 points. For the chip with all cores tested it scored 1760 points.
If we take the current gen Core i7 6950X with ten cores, than that processor scores 116 points on a single core and 1525 points for all ten cores.
| Intel | C/T | Clock Base | Clock Boost | L3 Cache | PCIe lanes | Architecture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i9 7920X | 12 / 24 | n/a | n/a | 16,5 MB | 44 | Skylake-X |
| Core i9 7900X | 10 / 20 | 3.3 GHz | 4.3 GHz (Turbo 2.0) 4.5 GHz (Turbo 3.0) |
13,75 MB | 44 | Skylake-X |
| Core i9 7820X | 8 / 16 | 3.6 GHz | 4.3 GHz (Turbo 2.0) 4.5 GHz (Turbo 3.0) |
11 MB | 28 | Skylake-X |
| Core i9 7800X | 6 / 12 | 3.5 GHz | 4.0 GHz | 8.25 MB | 28 | Skylake-X |
| Core i7 7740K | 4 / 8 | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 8 MB | 16 | Kaby Lake |
| Core i7 7640K | 4 / 4 | 4.0 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 6 MB | 16 | Kaby Lake |
So the new 10-core proc is offering roughly the same perf as the 10-core Core i7 6950X, the 12 core model with 1760 score does score better, but obviously is has two additional cores active. Please do take the result set with a grain of salt, as always with leaked benchmarks. Check the thumbnail below and the link scores.

Really not impressed.
When are we going to see a true price drop or a breakthrough technology coming from Intel ?
Not good for the market. I hope for PC manufacturers that the average customer is unlike me. I am waiting for the 31st and AMD conference to decide which direction I go.

Intel did cut Broadwell-E prices when Ryzen dropped and they will have to cut prices again to remain competitive as I am sure a 10 and 12 core Ryzen variant(s) will appear right around the same time X299 drops.
Intel can always try to count on brand loyalty but if they are looking for over $2000.00 for the 7920X and AMD is selling a similarly performing 12 core for 1/3 of that, I think they will lose a lot of sales.

If they cut prices they cut only in like one chain. Or that store cut the prices themselves. The prices are as they were before ryzen release in europe at least.

They were dropped in NA, the whole Broadwell-E pricing structure was lowered (although it wasn't a massive drop).

That 7900 looks interesting, but what is it going to cost? With Ryzen dropping cpu choices all over the board, Intel has to think long and hard what price points they are going to ask .

Id prefer if the base clocks had min of 4ghz or higher, im not into this 3.x nonsense, hopefully 2018 will have better intel cpu's so i can upgrade my i7 4790k

These clocks are crazy, if real. I wonder if they matter more than more cores at this point and for this segment though.

Nice, looking forward to X299.
