The editors liked
The fastest CPU we’ve ever tested
By a significant margin
Extremely easy to overclock
Huge core and thread count
A must-have for content creators
Great for work and gaming

Out of the park when OC'd
Decent wattage efficiency at stock
Solid upgrade path on X299
Exceptional performance
Single-core results are incredible
Mature chipset and platform
Best single-socket CPU power on the market with most applications
Best modelling performance with most applications

The editors didn't like
Requires seriously powerful CPU coolers
Extremely high power requirements
Neutral
Hot and power hungry it may be
But it does turn out some big performance figures
Expensive
But you do get a lot for your money

Price
Monstrous overclocking power draw
Still no soldering between dies and heatsink
Expensive overall system price – £1
200 more than AMD-AMD option
NVIDIA GeForce graphics not validated for professional applications
Behind AMD option for video editing with Adobe applications

If you have to ask, then likely not. This is not a cheap processor and for those planning a gaming system, it's complete overkill. If you're building a workstation, rendering rig, or plan to do game streaming with extreme resolutions and graphics, then it...

The high-end desktop CPU space has become far more interesting this year. AMD has brought massive multi-core processing to the table in the form of the Ryzen Threadripper trio of CPUs, headlined by a 16-core, 32-thread part known as the 1950X.Intel's...
Intel has without a doubt reclaimed the ultimate desktop CPU performance crown, but this comes at a cost. At $2,000, Core i9-7980XE is hugely expensive and as you can see from our graphs, it's nowhere near twice as fast as either the Threadripper 1950X or...
We recently updated our Linux testing suite a wee bit, making minor changes, but at the expense of dropping all single-threaded benchmarks – by accident. We hadn't thought much about every single set of results being hugely optimized for core counts, whic...

Abstract: It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

A 4.5GHz overclock across 18 cores is a brilliant achievement for Intel as it reclaims the desktop performance crown, but only if you have an enormous bank account.8 Total ScoreIntel Core i9-7980XE ReviewAdd your review | Read reviews and comments...
Fastest mainstream consumer chip, 18 cores (36 threads) XCC die, Huge overclocking potential, Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 can boost a small number of cores higher, Reasonable power draw and thermals at stock settings, Excellent choice for video e
Extremely huge price tag, IHS uses thermal paste instead of solder, Some games might not work (Anno 2205)

So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...
