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).

Look at that last task manager screen with the frequency, all cores are under load that should not be boost speeds. I'm pretty sure this was from a 4.2Ghz OC on all cores. Thoughts?

Intel's process allows a maximum of 28c currently and I doubt they'd be able to market that for less than $10K going on their current pricing scheme. 32c TR4 though An optimistic $2.5K

Nice benchmarks my i9-7980XE runs at 9 GHz and I have nothing to prove it....
Cinebench R15 Multi.
http://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu_benchmark-cinebench_r15_multi_core-8
Threadripper 1950X 3151 $1.000 3,151 p/$ 16x3,7 GHz all-core
Core i9-7900x 2194 $ 1.000 2,194 p/$ 10x4 GHz all-core
Core i9-7980xe 3455 $ 2.000 1,77 p/$ 18x3,4 GHz all-core
EPYC 7401p 4208 $ 1.100 3,825 p/$ 24x2,8 GHz all-core
I don't know how seriously we have to take cpu-monkey but it looks a lot more credible then the numbers I saw in this article.
And the winner is.... EPYC 7401p
