We got around to this review sooner thanks to Asrock since Intel's samples were awfully tardy.įor now we'll be focusing on Skylake-X chips with lower marrow counts: the Core i9-7900X, CORE i7-7820X and i7-7800X which are set to become available before the end of the month. Big thanks go to Asrock World Health Organization provided us with their X299 Taichi motherboard for examination along with a Core i9 chip. The Screenįorewarning: We've already covered spectacles and other related information of Skylake-X during Computex and since our coverage on this found is a a few days late, it seemed best to just get to the point.
So far I've mentioned 5 of Intel's 9 new Core X CPUs, with the odd 4 parts being premium 12, 14, 16 and 18-core models that won't be available until later in the year.

Intel's new series also includes a pair of quad-core parts, the Heart i7-7740X and Core i5-7640X, though we aren't looking at these models eventually. Likewise, the company's new 6-core Core i7-7800X is priced at a more affordable $390, but that still puts it well above the aforementioned Ryzen 7 1700. At $1,000 the part is the cheapest 10-core CPU we've seen from Intel, though information technology remains to follow seen if that's ground-hugging enough to be competitive with AMD. Higher upwards the food for thought chain is the Essence i9-7900X, the most low-priced of Intel's fres Core i9 CPUs. Yet, in a world where the Rygoes for $310, IT seems fair to wonder whether Intel rear break loose with charging roughly twice that amount for the 8-nitty-gritty Core i7-7820X, one of the parvenu processors we're reviewing today. In its haste, the company has launched Skylake-X as a stopgap solution. Needless to say, Ryzen 7 successful a mockery of Broadwell-E and Intel needed to antagonistic sooner preferably than later. Those seeking a 6-core Intel CPU had to cough up at least $430 (now $370) for the 6800K but likewise sacrificed 12 PCIe lanes in the process (40 to 28). Public speaking of Broadwell-E, the con from that series is still invigorating in my mind. AMD has also announced a high-ending background series dubbed ThreadRipper, which is expected to admit a chip with 16 cores and 32 threads, while costing well to a lesser extent than Intel's 10-nub Broadwell-E offer. Those parts let managed to put Intel's mainstream offerings under fire, and that's apparently just the outset. Today we'll finally be checking some of them out.Īfter years of remaining unchallenged, Intel is finally veneer some serious rivalry with the arrival of AMD's Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 chips.
As you're potential aware, during this year's Computex expo Intel announced the new Core X CPU series, comprising of non just three or four processors, but nine of them, making information technology the biggest rank of high-end desktop CPUs Intel has ever declared.
