The Intel Skylake-X Review: Core i9 7900X, i7 7820X and i7 7800X Tested
by Ian Cutress on June 19, 2017 9:01 AM ESTBenchmarking Performance: CPU Legacy Tests
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.

Zen is winning in one department: Price.Lolimaster - Tuesday, June 20, 2017 - link
Ryzen has a sick efficiency at lower clocks, that Ryzen 7 1700 65w can de undervolted further more and make it a 50w 3Ghz monster.sir_tech - Monday, June 19, 2017 - link
Why there are no power consumption charts in the review? Also, you should have gone ahead and post the gaming performance charts also just like Ryzen reviews.While the MSRP is high the actual retail price for Ryzen processors retail prices are much lower now.
Ryzen 7 1800x - $439 (MSRP - $499)
Ryzen 7 1700x - $349 (MSRP - $399)
Ryzen 7 1700 - $299 (MSRP - $329)
Ryzen 5 1600x - $229 (MSRP - $249)

"Why there are no power consumption charts in the review?"Please refresh the conclusion.=)
"Also, you should have gone ahead and post the gaming performance charts also just like Ryzen reviews."
The BIOS updates have come so late that we don't even have a complete dataset for the new BIOSes. Ian had just enough time to make sure they were still screwy, and then was on a plane. We're going to need to sit down and completely redo all the Skylake-X chips once the platform stabilizes to the point where our results won't be immediately invalidated.

Your DDR4-2400 tests of 1800X and 1600X are already invalidated.And RoTR
There was no problem with publishing bad gaming results for AMD.
What's the problem with 2066?

If we had a complete, up-to-date dataset to publish, and time to write it up, we would have. If only to showcase why eager gamers should wait for the platform to mature a bit.cheshirster - Monday, June 19, 2017 - link
Sorry, with this text:"Our GTX1080 seems to be hit the hardest out of our four GPUs, as well as Civilization 6, the second Rise of the Tomb Raider test, and Rocket League on all GPUs. As a result, we only posted a minor selection of results, most of which show good parity at 4K"
+ ryzen bad fullhd results in RoTR and Rocket League fully published.
You are going straigh to the Hall of Fame of typical brand loyalists.

Well the state of Ryzen wasn't as bad as this and it isn't like it was not pointed out in this review.Also I am sure other benchmarks were also affected making Intel look worse in benchmark databases thanks to their rush job...

Yep you bashed Ryzen in gaming in your review, quit lying."Gaming Performance, particularly towards 240 Hz gaming, is being questioned,"

Everything is on default, no overclocking.
