Intel Core i7-7740X Skylake-X Processor Review
Discrete GPU Benchmarks
3DMark
So what about gaming performance? Straight away, we see a rock solid score at both stock and overclocked settings. Beating out all the Ryzen offerings, and keeping up with (but not beating) the 7700K. I must stress again, the 7700K was clocked 100Mhz higher, so the two are certainly comparable.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Blazing a trail here, with Tomb Raider, although the 1800X did pull ahead, it is one of the more expensive Ryzen options.
Shadow of Mordor
Again, rock solid results here. We’re not breaking any records, but it’s about where it should be for the price.
Please correct the threads number. It’s shown as 4c/4t when it’s 4c/8t

What is the reviewer smoking??. At 5Ghz this overpriced quad core POS only managed to outperform the $130 cheaper 1600 at 3.9Ghz by 2 FPS in that game LOL. Let alone the cost of the x299 mobo needed to run that chip. For the price, this chip performs horribly, i wouldn’t even buy it at the same price as a 1600…
