Intel 7900x and Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming 7 leaked in benchmark

[coasterghost]

With the leak in SiSoftware, we've gotten the first glimpse into the next high-end Extreme edition from Intel. I don't think it's gonna be a good competitor to Ryzen given the new SKUs from AMD.  What I find interesting however is that it's currently being billed in as a Core i7 when rumors were hinting at the new Core i9 platform but it does confirm the threads and core counts. Currently, it has a higher TDP at 175W compared to the 6950x and currently has 12MB less of L3 cache an the 6950x. 

 

How it compares to other CPUs as per the article: 

Quote

To give us an idea, this has marked 1386.94Mpix / S in SiSoftware, well, the first is the Intel Xeon Platinium 8176 with 28 cores and 56 processing threads and a base working frequency of 2.8GHz and a Boost mode 3.8GHz, almost nothing. The third position is occupied by the Intel Xeon Gold 6130 with 16 cores and 32 processing threads with a result of 1356.7Mpix / s. The next commercial processor outside of Xeon is in the seventeenth position with a score of 949.96Mpix / s, obtained by the i7 6950X with ten cores and twenty threads of processing.

Pls fix for night mode thx

The base frequency of the 7900X is 3.3 not 4.0.  It was probably turbo-ing up to 4.0 when that benchmark sampled it.  It has 2.5x as many cores as a 7700K, it's obviously not going to be able to hit a 140W TDP at the same frequency

Looking back at this - I'm going back to the previous numbers

Where did you see 3.3? I only see 4.0/4.5, which would mean a 4.5 boost, which would be insane.

Previous leaks:

 

 

 

 

  I checked more, it looks like the "base" basically is 4.0 with Turbo, even with all 10 cores active.  Meaning  as long as you don't exceed thermal limits or whatever the Turbo 2.0 criterial is, it'll be 4.0.  But under shitty conditions it'll drop to 3.3.

Doesn't that slide say it will turbo boost 3.0 up to 4.5? 

 

EDIT: And if my eyes arent decieving me, it says it will turbo boost 2.0 up to 4.3.

Yes.  Turbo 3.0 is only single core though because it's up clocking the best core on the package.  Turbo 2.0 applies to 1-10 active cores and doesn't discriminate on which cores get that clock.

See my edits.

It would appear that the benchmark tool is taking the Turbo 2.0 as the base clock (4.0) and Turbo 3.0 as the max boost clock (4.5).

 

EDIT: I re-read.  4.3 is probably the 1-2 core Turbo 2.0 limit.  10 core limit is the 4.0 number.

OT, this looks like an amazing processor. Can't wait to take out another mortgage and sell my cars to get one!

Sorry about that, I don't have dark mode enabled. one fix coming up. 

 

One fix implemented.

How much blood and semen you'll have to donate depends on intels interest level in burying AMD.

LOL 175Watt TDP package for 10 core 20T?  Are your watercoolers ready, get some extra 240mil rads on the loop just to be safe.

Sigh.... You really don't get how these things work at intel do you? The 6950x (140W TDP) consumes the same amount of power as the "95W" 1800X, and ALL HEDT processors share the same package TDP (the 6-core 6800K being labeled as a 140W just as the 10 core is, even though obviously they don't share the same power consumption), so with the top tier chip being a 4.0 GHz+ 12 core chip, yeah 175W seems very reasonable.

Intel's idle power lol

TBH, X99 CPUs weren't designed with power efficiency in mind

True but the 1800x is better then the 7700k at idle and that is very interesting.

Probably the CCX thing combined with lower clock speeds.....

Both at 4ghz and the 1800x is about the same idle power consumption iirc. I don't see why the CCX layout would be beneficial to power consumption. 

 

Maybe ryzens power delivery, IMC, or platform is more efficient. It could also have something to do with the iGPU maybe.

7700K is at 4.2-4.5GHz and has a stock Vcore of 1.2 or so V.

Toms found the 1800X to use less power in gaming than 7700K as well, even when OC'd.

 

It'll be interesting to see how x299 holds up there as well. Hopefully they use proper soldered tim on everything like with X99.

 

I love that dude's reaction so much! Silly brits.

I think it's funny that anyone would think that power savings is high on the priority list for folks who use HEDT.
