Welcome back guys I am here with a new
post, as I said yesterday I am going to publish an Intel Core i9 Briefing, so I
am to review and clear all the things about Core i9.
If we start from basic then the first
thing I would like to tell you that Core i9 first version is released on June
2017 and after that each version is released with a month gap. Core i9 is now
available on Amazon.com and it cost around $2,103, the cost vary as per
versions, but this one is the 1st version.
Intel have given a name to i9 version
which is Intel Core i9 X-Series Intel revealed that the 18-core i9-7980XE will
feature a base speed of 2.6GHz, with a Turbo Boost 2.0 clock of 4.2GHz. And
using Turbo Boost 3.0, which speeds up performance of its fastest two cores,
it'll reach 4.4GHz. That's just below the 4.5GHz top speed of Intel's Core
i7-7700K, its fastest mainstream processor for desktops. Basically, that means
the 18-core chip will be no slouch when it comes single-threaded performance
for games.
The 16-core i9 CPU reached a Cinebench
R15 score of 3,200, while running an NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti GPU. That's below a
24-core Xeon E5 2697, according to 3D Fluff's database. The quad-core i7-7700K,
meanwhile, scored just 966 on that same benchmark.
You can nab the 14- to 18-core i9 CPUs
on September 25th while the 12-core version is coming sooner, on August 28th.
The other chips are already available.
This is the List of the whole series with their specification which is taken from Wikipedia.
Intel have given another name to Core
i9 “SkyLake-X”, and from here we can get why it is call X-Series.
If 18 cores is a bit too rich for you, Intel also has other Core i9 Extreme Edition chips in 10-, 12-, 14- and 16-core variants. Perhaps the best news for hardware geeks: The 10 core i9-7900X will retail for $999, a significant discount from last year's version.
All of the i9 chips feature base clock
speeds of 3.3GHz, reaching up to 4.3GHz dual-core speeds with Turbo Boost 2.0
and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost 3.0. And speaking of Turbo Boost 3.0, its
performance has also been improved in the new Extreme Edition chips to increase
both single and dual-core speeds. Rounding out the X-Series family are the
quad-core i5-7640X and i7 models in 4-, 6- and 8-core models.
Over the past few years, Intel's laptop
chips have been far more interesting than its desktop CPU's. Partially, that's
because the rise of ultra-portable and convertible laptops have shifted its
focus away from delivering as much computing power as possible to offering a
reasonable amount of processing power efficiently. The new Core i9 X-series
processors might not be feasible for most consumers, but for the hardware geeks
who treat their rigs like hot rods, they're a dream come true.
If we compare the latest flagship Core
i9 with AMD Ryzen Threadripper we can say that Intel’s Core i9 and AMD’s Ryzen
Threadripper are facing off in the toughest CPU match in years. Historically,
if you wanted the fastest PC chip, you bought Intel. If you wanted to save
money, you went with AMD. With Threadripper, AMD claims you can have it all: a
low price, and the best performance.
I pitted both chips against each other
in a grudge match... and each walked away claiming victory. If you’re obsessed
with single-threaded performance (including games), back the Core i9 and its
higher clock speeds. Threadripper 1950X’s out-sized core count punches way
higher in multi-threaded performance, though, and it’s the people’s champion in
everyday tasks and price.
Typical comparisons between two chips
boil down to price versus performance (or “speeds and feeds,” as it’s often
called). I don’t usually test every chip in a family, but I will review
flagships. And our assessment of Intel’s Core i9 and AMD’s
Ryzen Threadripper can help you determine which, if either, of these
top chips is worth is worth its price. AMD and Intel can adjust pricing at any
time, so you may want to review Intel’s official price list or buy an AMD
chip from its online store.
Spec-for-spec, AMD earns the advantage
on price, with its Threadripper chips costing from $549 to $999. Intel’s Core
i9 chips are far more expensive, with prices soaring to $1,999. Intel’s pros
include a broader diversity of Core i9 processors, plus a chip with more cores
than anything AMD offers. Intel chips are also more power-efficient. The
critical clock-speed metric is a mixed bag: AMD’s Threadripper offers higher
base clocks, but can’t keep up with the Core i9 when clock speeds are boosted
under load. Both the Core i9 and Threadripper come unlocked, so overclocking is
a viable option.
Now this is a summary of i9 chips on
clock and speed, which Intel have placed in i9 chips
- Core i9-7980XE ($1,999): 18 cores, 36 threads; 2.6GHz base clock, 4 GHz-4.4-GHz boosted clock
- Core i9-7960X ($1,699): 16 cores, 32 threads; 2.8GHz base clock, 4.2GHz-4.4GHz boosted clock
- Core i9-7940X ($1,399): 14 cores, 28 threads; 3.1GHz base clock, 4.3GHz-4.4GHz boosted clock
- Core i9-7920X ($1,199): 12 cores, 24 threads; 2.9GHz base clock, 4.3GHz-4.4GHz boosted clock
- Core i9-7900X ($999, or $1,059 on Newegg): 10 cores, 20 threads; 3.3GHz base clock, 4.3GHz-4.5GHz boosted clock
So my conclusion is that Intel haven’t
made anything like that before and it is the strongest chip that Intel has ever
made. Now let’s see what changes Intel will make with the upcoming chip. Till
then we have to wait.
My post ends here with a conclusion and
tomorrow I will publish another post and in the end I want to make sure that
you guys share and subscribe my blog so I will publish more and more.
See you guys tomorrow till then stay
tuned.
