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).

4.2 ghz = Turbo 2.0 on 2 cores only
4.4 ghz = turbo 3.0 on 2 cores only ...
Yeah, that's why I suggested enhanced turbo. My 4790K runs at 4.4 GHz on all cores if I turn on enhanced turbo (by default, it's 4.2 GHz on all cores, 4.4 GHz on one core).

So when will AMD get out of its budget brand image? With ZERO performance lead in all of the market they're in excluding consoles, this seems very unlikely.

I don't think that's the default boost, but they may have used enhanced turbo, or manually overclocked.
Considering that the 1950X can do 4 GHz on all cores, a 7980XE doing 4.2 isn't that far-fetched, but the thermals would be pretty crazy. I'm guessing some specialized setup was used here, and possibly delidded.
All-core boost is 3,4 GHz (same as Xeon Gold 6150) TDP 165 Watt, Xeon gold 6154 has a all-core boost of 3,7 GHz with a TDP of 205 Watt. Remember that the XOEN's are from the middle of the wafer and that the i9's are the crappy left-overs.
At 4,2 GHz the i9-7980XE will probably use around 380+ Watt.
LN2 works great.

What a beast. 7940x should destroy the 1950x in everything as well when the much lesser 7900x can hold its own against them. And yeah, no compromising content consumption performance as well like the Threadrippers and their awfully high latency and reliance and that sad "Game Mode."
