    The Intel CEO Brian Krzanich sold as much Intel stock as their corporate rules allowed a few weeks ago. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/12/19/intels-ceo-just-sold-a-lot-of-stock.aspx

    That issue is a risk for Broadwell-E as well. It was deemed an acceptable risk then but not now for Skylake-X. edit - I wonder if the package is thinner and that is what could cause higher failures.

    Those temps are going to be crazy. The 7700k gets pretty hot when overclocking (without de-lid). Now imagine increasing the TDP by 50%, doubling/tripling the cores and trying to keep that cool. De-lidding is likely going to be mandatory for overclocking these things and that means losing your warranty. I wonder what has changed since Broadwell-E and Haswell-E etc. were all soldered in the past.

    Unless Windows isn't detecting correctly, 4-core Ryzen should have more than 1MB L2 cache. The 6-core has the correct cache labels though.

    The leaker used really poor DDR4 2400MHz 17-17-17-39 with Ryzen which has a big impact on the Prime numbers and Physics scores.

    The Ryzen CPU is running on an A320 motherboard so no overclocking while the other CPUs are all heavily overclocked. The Ryzen chip is also using some really bad DDR4 2400 at 17-17-17-39 timings. The graphs are poorly labeled with the stock clocks from overclocked chips. 6900k is at 4.2GHz 5960X is at 4.7GHz Ryzen is at 3.4GHz (no turbo). It's all right there in the OP. The source is from Anandtech forums. https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/summit-ridge-zen-benchmarks.2482739/page-200

    Haven't read the whole thread so this might have already been mentioned. The DDR3 ram and DDR4 ram modules are running at different timings so that's why things look mostly normal for synthetic/pro benchmarks but games are all over the place.

    3.4GHz with no boost.

Reminder - it's google translate so that is why there is some weirdness in the text. Heart = Core and (huge) air-dissipator probably a Noctua D15 equivalent.

    I was just about to make a similar post. I'm still scratching my head over how so many people in this thread are still completely misunderstanding how he did the testing. edit - In case people didn't read your post. "The before and after tests were 100% identical (with exception of delid)"

    I had another look at the thread and I think he did actually do a proper comparison. I can't see where it says he used different coolers like people said. All the voltage settings are the same at 1.344v in the before and after screenshots. I mentioned the other time he used water cooling to show the very rough comparison but this one looks meaningful.

    He isn't doing a review or scientific testing, he's just a guy on a forum was trying to get to 5GHz stable anyway he could. From the tests he has done you can see that a delid makes a big difference. We just don't know the exact because yeah, variables.

    https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/my-i7-7700k-has-arrived-insights-benchies-overclocks-inside-now-with-delid.2493250/ This is the real source. Scroll down and see his previous testing. He used a big water cooler(corsair h110i) and got avg 83 degrees with 4.7 Ghz @ 1.264v. After delid and using another big water cooler (Kraken x62) he got avg 72 degrees with 5.1Ghz - 1.376v.

    3.4GHz base clock is pretty nice, higher than I has expecting and this CPU is probably going to be a few hundred cheaper than the 6900K while seemingly matching or maybe beating in performance and power usage. It will be interesting to see where the clocks end up at. Still need a bigger range of benchmarks though.

    Played 35 mins of Horde Mode on my 4.6Ghz FX-8350. No frame drops, even when grenades take out 7 zombies and send body parts everywhere. I also still have reprojection as a back-up and Oculus users have Async-Space Warp so it would probably run fine on an i3 or FX-6350. i7's are not necessary to play Horde mode.
