Intel Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition Processor Review

Gaming Performance

Gaming performance on the Intel i9-7980XE is pretty robust, it’s not always the fastest, but at both 1080p and 4K resolutions, it’s certainly competitive. That’s a great thing to see, as this isn’t really a gaming chip and those buying it for a gaming rig may be a little bit bonkers in my opinion, simply due to the cost. However, it’s getting great scores here and even more so while overclocked. Of course, with all those extra cores and threads on tap, those doing gaming related content creation can add-on streaming software, overlays, rendering, and much more without cause for concern.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
