The Intel Skylake-X Review: Core i9 7900X, i7 7820X and i7 7800X Tested

Our legacy tests represent benchmarks that were once at the height of their time. Some of these are industry standard synthetics, and we have data going back over 10 years. All of the data here has been rerun on Windows 10, and we plan to go back several generations of components to see how performance has evolved.

shoody performance.. what are you talking about? stupid games?bios updates will fix that.
could not care less about games. but the intels are faster.. no way around it.
more pricey but faster.

You nailed it. Between the temps and power draw, to jump on this lineup is really silly. I like the 1700 for a small air cooled mITX setup. If I moved to anything else I'd dump all this stuff in the middle and go straight to Threadripper.If you're going for thread count, do it right and get 16C/32T. Or just stick to a nice cool and quiet R5 or R7.

How do they get stomped ? AMD power consumption is about half of that of Intel's.Can you please explain ?

Wow, comparing $1000+ high end enthusiast desktop parts vs $500 and lower consumer desktop parts. Wait for Threadripper and Ryzen7 right now offers a lot more bang for the buck (if you get the 1700 and overclock it).tarqsharq - Monday, June 19, 2017 - link
Those multi-threaded benchmarks are going to get really ugly for Intel in a few months I think, especially from a bang for buck perspective.T1beriu - Monday, June 19, 2017 - link

A lot of talk about the mesh but not testing it, at least the basic memory BW, latency and scaling.No power numbers at all? No OC and temps....
Why focus on perf and ignore all else when perf is more or less a known quantity and the unanswered questions are elsewhere.
For Intel you list all Turbo flavors, for AMD you forget XFR when comparing SKUs.

PCPer tries to look at it too.
