Intel Core i9-7900X review published
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.

Hmm building a pc for a friend soon and I was waiting to see how the 6 core is on these new chips but I think I will build him a ryzen build still.

So you're basically going to have to delid that £1000 CPU if you want any decent OCing headroom out of it without it cooking itself...

Where are you seeing temps? i've let to find any review that talks about temps, just that they reach 4.6/4.7ghz on them... with fine tuning maybe you could hit 4.7ghz, but these were always going to run hot they always do.
Performance jump seems to be about 5-10% when you take into account the extra 500mhz on the core clock and depending on the program being used, which i guess was expected.
Look forward to seeing your view HH, as well as the upcoming review of threadripper to see how AMD's chips will hold up
EDIT: Nevermind found a page about temps, 100 Degrees on LCS with the 4.7ghz OC :/

Intel's OC headroom has been crap on all the chips with the TIM rather than solder. Run very hot. Delidding is the only way to get decent temps out of 'em.

At first I was like "wow they really took a big performance leap compared to the 6950X" until I realized it has a 500MHz gain and the hefty wattage.
According to a review by Bit-Tech, it seems there's up-to a ~10% improvement clock-per-clock.
