Core i9-7980XE 18-core Benchmarks
It's has been quiet with X299 and the Skylake-X platform processors. We've seen the 10-core review, the 12-core parts in stores but other then that it remains silent. However in Asia a website leaked performance benchmarks on the 18-core part, the 2000 USD Core i9-7980XE.
It was website Coolenjoy who got their hands on a sample, which is rare as Intel will not be sending them to reviewers. But there has been some pro-oc activities with that part. The benchmarks originate from Coolenjoy and have been performed on an ASUS APEX motherboard. It looks like the proc indeed boosts up to 4.2 GHz on the cores during Cinebench.
| Processor | Cores/Threads | PCIe lanes | Base Clock | Turbo 2.0 | Turbo 3.0 | TDP | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i9 7980XE | 18 / 36 | 44 | 2.6 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 165 W | $1999 |
| Core i9 7960X | 16 / 32 | 44 | 2.8 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 165 W | $1699 |
| Core i9 7940X | 14 / 28 | 44 | 3.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 165 W | $1399 |
| Core i9 7920X | 12 / 24 | 44 | 2.9 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 140 W | $1199 |
| Core i9 7900X | 10 / 20 | 44 | 3.3 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 140 W | $999 |
| Core i7 7820X | 8 / 16 | 28 | 3.6 GHz | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 140 W | $599 |
| Core i7 7800X | 6 / 12 | 28 | 3.5 GHz | 4.0 GHz | na | 140 W | $389 |
| Core i7 7740X | 4 / 8 | 16 | 4.3 GHz | 4.5 GHz | na | 112 W | $369 |
| Core i5 7640X | 4 / 4 | 16 | 4.0 GHz | 4.2 GHz | na | 112 W | $242 |
The i9-7980X should boost up to 4.4 GHz on two cores in Turbo Boost Max 3.0 and up to 4.2 GHz in Turbo Max 2.0. The 2000 USD 165 Watt part should be available soon. Below the tests, courtesy of Coolenjoy.
Please read: The 7980XE scores are listed above the chart only with the scores and no bar plot (totally weird when you look at it but yeah, it is what it is).

That is correct, and no it does not *blow* it out of the water.
Not really overclocked as it's not *above* the rated max clock speeds.
Totally dependent on mobo brand, but higher end boards allow a higher than default rated TDP based on cooling/temps.
They only time TDP is *blown* out of the water is with increased voltage.
If enhanced turbo is on by default and all cores clock to the max single-core turbo, then it will blow the TDP completely out of the water. Are you seriously saying that all high-end Intel motherboards are overclocked out of the box?

clock for clock, intel has a 10% advantage in single core performance.
1-5% on average, 10% in extremes. This has been proven multiple times, i'm not entirely sure why you're trying to spread misinformation. In many cases the IPC difference has been in AMDs favor. Hence, AMDs and Intels IPC being close enough to do basic math for.
As for the rest, don't know why you're directing that at me.
I was not intending to direct it at you, it just so happened it was after what i quoted from you that i stated it.
Not really overclocked as it's not *above* the rated max clock speeds.
It is 100% overclocked because at that point you are using the processor beyond what is intended, which is overclocked. Intel very specifically have stated what their processor is rated to do if thermals are good, depending on what cores are being utilized. Anything beyond that, is overclocked. All-core boost of the 7980XE is 3.4Ghz, that is PER INTEL. Anything beyond that is an overclock.
It does not matter that your motherboard is doing it automatically for you, it's still an overclock.
Anything beyond these numbers are overclocked:
This is fact. This is not opinion. This is quite literally, fact.

lol, your post, just...lol
Someone doesn't understand how to, well, understand logic, due to fanboy blindness.
If you actually look at the information, and actually understand it, then nothing you'd be saying makes sense.
Stop trolling, or stop fanboying, whichever one you are definitely, 100% doing, stop it.
Seriously, stop trolling, stop flame baiting. If your only purpose to join these forums is to troll and flamebait, i can guarantee you, you will not last long here.
Do you even read what you type before hitting "post reply"? Every single thread about Intel is immediately flooded by AMD fanboys talking **** on Intel and anyone who buys their products instead of AMD, and not a word out of you about their trolling, fanboying, etc. Yet when one person fires back at AMD users... you cry foul. That is some of the most hypocritical nonsense i've seen in a while, and i've seen a lot. This site has gone from a great place to get information on PC hardware to a cesspool of **** talkers making it so you have to go through 2.5 pages of crap just to find one tidbit of information.
I really wish HH would crack down on this nonsense. Once your website's reputation takes a dive, its 10x harder to recover from it. I could name quite a few great examples but i've distracted from the topic at hand long enough.

Regardless, it's an enhanced turbo and pretty much all mainboard manufacturers utilize it as it doesn't affect temps or tdp much.
You still can't directly compare intel and amd with that math.
Cinebench is strictly IPC performance, with every other test you are adding other variables which will cause different results.
That's why it doesn't make sense to use blanket statement math.
Too many factors to account for.
Just in games, 4 thread of 7700k vs 4 threads of ryzen can yield 40% difference in frame rates.
But of course this attributes to other factors including ryzens poor memory performance(latency or whatnot), but that's another topic.
I'm not spreading misinformation either, data is clearly out there.
Heres a review showing 4cores disabled both at 4ghz

clock for clock, intel has a 10% advantage in single core performance. Comparing 7700k to 1800x in cinebench with both set to 3.5ghz
Coffeelake will further that maybe another 5% give or take.
As for the rest, don't know why you're directing that at me.
It's clearly known that most highend motherboards have All core turbo boost enabled by default.
That means under load it will put all cores to the max single core turbo boost.
Nothing to do with Intel.
Since 7980xe has a single turbo of 4.2ghz, it's safe to say that this setup is utilizing all core turbo setup.
If enhanced turbo is on by default and all cores clock to the max single-core turbo, then it will blow the TDP completely out of the water. Are you seriously saying that all high-end Intel motherboards are overclocked out of the box?
