Not to long ago I found some leaked benchmarks for Intel’s i3-8350K and now I have stumbled across yet another set of benchmarks for Intel’s flagship CPU, the i9-7980XE.
The leaked benchmarks were found on a Korean Bulletin board and shows benchmarks in not only 3Dmarks FireStrike Physics score for the i9-7980XE but also scores for it’s younger brother the Core i9-7920X.
Below we can see that the user of this test acquired all-core clock speed of 4.8GHz while also keeping his temperatures below 90c. According to WCCFtech this setup was running water-cooling (unknown whether it is closed loop) and also on the ASUS Rampage VI APEX X299 motherboard.
Here are the screenshots:
The user of this CPU has scored 37,485 on FireStrike with all 18 cores running at 4.8Ghz. A stock 7900X (10 cores) is expected to score around the 10,000 mark so this means that the i9-7980XE is provided amazing performance and superb overclocking ability.
Alright, now is the CPU worth it for gamers and should we all go out and buy one? Perhaps not, unless you want to completely overkill your PC and your wallet in the process. Priced at $1999 MSRP you will get the new Skylake-X architecture and be paying $111 per core. Judging by the benchmark scores there is no game that will bring this CPU to it’s knees but if you are a content creator and do a lot of rendering or video processing this CPU might be the one for you, if you can afford that hefty $1999 that is. The 18 Core and 36 Thread beast can also overclock up to 4.5Ghz while both of the CPU’s ( i9-7920X / i9-7980XE have unknown base clock rates at this point.
The i9-7920X is priced at $1189 which means you are paying $99 a core and also features Skylake-X architecture. This CPU is much more affordable and is still offering a massive increase in performance, clocking at a max of 4.5Ghz when overclocked same as above models.

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
RIP VRM. for real this had to be pulling some major wattage
He must have taken the screenshot as soon as he started the testing because no one in their right mind would take those temps seriously. It will be worse than the 7900x at full load and with an OC.
everything faked intel want people to buy them by creating hype. sad company
AMD must be saddest company ever by your scale.
The same guy also de-lidded the chip (thus part of the reason for the lower temps) and took photos of the actual die, and it turns out the die size is easily twice the size of the 7900X’s die. And more die surface area means the transistors etc… aren’t crammed as tightly together, alleviating a lot of the heat issues the 7900X had due to putting that many components in such a small die space. And if you combine those things (de-lid = ~15-20+ degree drop. Double Die Size = at least a few more degrees drop) then it’s not so farfetch’d really.
The majority of game developers be like https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/02c8dbc90d803468e877c40f4cc0ab3ed8b725da7896094849eb4370acba3e99.jpg
@johnmellinger:disqus hahahahhaha could not be more accurate!!
That is a wrong use of The Sound of Music.
Yup, a beast rig VS an unoptimized port
who would win?
“Beast” doesn’t mean sh*t if the game can’t actually take advantage of half of those cores, though.
As such, at the end of the day, the immovable object (read: broken code) does indeed trump the unstoppable force (read: TOO MANY CORES) 😛
Best car/computer analogy ever.
That temp makes me wonder if Intel actually soldered this next round of CPUs. Considering the 7900X was regularly hitting 100°C for reviewers when overclocking, I imagine they’d have been forced to in order to keep temps anywhere near “reasonable.”
Then I feel bad for people who bought the 7900x. Apparently you have to spend $2000 to get a soldered CPU.
Oh that might be why my friend is getting 100c on a 7820x @4.3/1.1v….. that’s sooo high
idiot
? ..
Awesome for budget gaming.
Threadripper is the way to go.
Wait next year when 12 cores gona cost 500 . . . . Not by intel LOL
“Leaks” on threadripper release day. Lol.
I’m sure I can bring this cpu down on it’s knees on Cities Skylines, that’s why I want to see benchmarks on that game.
Seems like certain people in the comments section are retarted. This is clearly not a gaming cpu. For the price, it truly is a beast compared to its xeon counterparts.
what do you mean Disqus is stepping up?
every site has their own blacklisted words and phrases (aswell as cuck admins)
on DSO you are free to write SJW unlike “PC”gamer
Certain comments containing certain words get flagged by Disqus, this has been a thing for a while, they’re now expanding on that by giving admins more power to shadowblock comments, as well as expanding their AI’s automated “flag this stuff as spam” abilities.
Yeah, DSOG is liberal about this stuff, but not everyone necessarily posts exclusively on DSOG, so it was intended as a PSA for us Disqus users 😛
so in other words, the “tolerant” left is abusing their power to ruin the internet once again of free speech
though like i said, every site has their own rules
disqus is merely a tool, though shadowblocking is some real scary $hit
is shadowblocking site based or profile based?
I read they’ve made some communities quietly disappear, but it seems so far they’re limiting the “toxic” thing to just flagging you & letting admins decide whether or not you should f*ck off & die somewhere, or not;
“For now, the “toxic” label only identifies comments, but no actions are taken against them. Moderators still have control as to whether or not they want to remove or leave the “toxic” comments.”
So I presume it’s likely a general rule….. for now. Then again, the Turd Bird has been in decline since the beginning of 2017, so maybe Disqus will sacle this sh*t back long before they get to Barfbook & Turd Bird levels of bullsh*t.
As i see it, not much has changed then
still up to the admins of the site
it’s not as bad as Barfbook when they have Triggerwords in the system which detects if you’re using “illegal” words such as f a g g o t or muslim or whatever facebook dims ban worthy
as for Bleeter, they’re not as bad as turdbook
hell infact you can write racist $hit and get away with it, though if brought to the attention of millions, $hit can be taken down
but back to Disqus, this change will do absolutely nothing to DSOgaming
unless they decide to cuck it out and hire more “tolerant” staff (which i doubt they will, DSOgaming was the only sane bastion of anti-SJW gaming)
and will continue to be a great community where the trolls and the shills are downvoted to oblivion and possibly banned from the site
as for other sites… well lets just say that commenting anything not politically correct on a site like buzzfeed or cracked will get you *tolerantly removed* from the site without you knowing
so nothing really matters if you don’t use these sites.
