SummaryBattling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...

SummaryThe Skylake-X-based Core i7-7820X offers strong multi-threaded performance and a lower price point than Intel's Broadwell-E equivalent. But we did experience some performance regression in a few game titles and applications. Core i7-7820X delivers the...

SummarySo 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...

SummaryIntel's Core X-Series really has a chip for everyone, pricing starts at $242 and goes all the way up to $1999. This new high-end desktop (HEDT) lineup from Intel is sure different from what we've seen in the past, it is a big result of what AMD did with R...

SummaryIntel LGA2066 platform brought new generations of CPUs, ranging from 4 to 18 cores. Today I've tested the Skylake-X 8-core SKU- i7-7820X – and Kabylake-X flagship – i7-7740X (4-core).The CPUs are good, especially in overclocking where 5GHz is not a proble...

SummaryWe still don't know how Intel's highest core-count Skylake-X processors will perform, but here's an eight-core appetizer to nibble on in the meantime.The Intel Core i7-7820X is, at least architecturally, closer to the Core i9-7900X than to the Kaby Lake-X...

SummaryIntel's Core i7-7820X is a beast of a CPU, easily capable of plowing through gaming, transcoding, rendering and streaming all at the same time. Handily beating Intel's own i7-5960X of last generation across the board, and for a far lower street price of $...

SummaryWhile the June launch of Intel's X-Series processors took the attention with the top-end Core i9 7900X Skylake-X and Core i7 7740X Kabylake-X processors, coming in several hundred dollars less than the i9-7900X is the i7-7820X, which still packs a very ha...

SummaryOverall, the i7 7820X is a great improvement over the Haswell architecture in most cases. It's a pity I didn't have an i7 6900K (Broadwell) to compare the two since they're only one generation apart and there were some performance gains over Haswell. The...

SummaryI think we can all agree that Skylake-X offers mighty impressive performance. The Core i9-7900X blows everything else out of the water and the 7820X does a good job of making Intel's previous-generation 8-core CPU look a little sluggish. Single and dual-t...
techspot.comProsSkylakeX topped our performance charts, bringing a much better value over BroadwellE on the highend
ConsIt's extremely power hungry and considerably more expensive than Ryzen equivalents

SummaryLet's get the awkward bit out of the way first. Yes we were hoping to bring you a review of both the eight core i7-7820X and the ten core i9-7900X today, but for reasons best known to themselves Intel withheld samples from everyone because a couple of sit...
