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).

Intel probably doesn't see such a huge market for monsters like this that it's more profitable to try to get lots of money from the few than little money from... the few. Their goal probably was to beat TR, and they did manage that. Now those that want the most powerful regardless of the price can get this.

Let them, Thanks to this 18C inte "Beast" AMD gonna have to release the 20/24/32 (1970x/1980x/1990XT imo) cores TR in future
, and that will be checkmate on X399 vs X299 socket.

This won't go cheap no matter what with current process node. TR is way cheaper to produce.
So this was running 4.2ghz on all cores for all tests? Or how should I read that. So TR needs 5.2ghz to run that score roughly. 1ghz difference with 4 less threads kk in cinebench that is. And at 4ghz TR gets 3300-3400 in cinebench.
Great scores btw, now just make lower prices than AMD same p/p and that's it!

Looks kind of funny. 36 CPU utilization graphs in task manager.

All I have to say is: thank you Threadripper
On the other side just look at those specs: 165W and $2000 price tag, guess/hope small AC is shipped with this thing to keep it cool.
