The lads over at Hexus published the first review of an Intel Core-X series processor, the Core i9-7900X. Pretty much like any media in the EU they as well didn't a sample for review from Intel, yet borrowed one somewhere. Hence they do not abide to the Intel NDA / embargo date. 

Since they do not mention what motherboard was used it loos like one of the motherboard makers provided their Core i9 7900X sample. Much like what I am experiencing with our test-setup the X299 platform still needs a lot of tweaks and updates to get perf up-to snuff. There are no photos posted of the processor published. Despite us being in exactly the same scenario, we will abide the NDA date on Monday before we publish our own results out of respect to the partner that provided us our sample, plain and simple. Check out the review, below some of the benchmarks Hexus published. Give them a visit and be sure to read their content.
