Impressive results of the intel core i9

The Intel Core i9-7960X processor is among the most important Intel releases for the most demanding users and today we can see some of its first results of the final version that will hit the stores.

Intel Core i9-7960X will hit stores for $ 1, 699

A few weeks ago we had been able to see some results from the Intel Core i9-7960X in Geekbench , but from a sample that apparently was engineering and did not offer the most optimal performance. Today we can see the final performance and in all its glory of the Core i9-7960X in this benchmarking tool.

Intel Core i9-7960X results on Geekbench

In this test we can see the brand new Intel 16-core processor running at a speed of 2.8GHz and with 22.5 MB of L3 cache under full sail. The test was performed under the Windows 7 operating system and obtained a score of 5804 in single-core and about 78323 points in the multi-core test. The improvement in the multi-core score is quite impressive considering that the previous test that had been carried out on this chip resulted in half this score.

The downside is that we don't have a direct comparison with Threadripper here, but this result tells a different story than what we saw a few days ago, where Threadripper 1950X takes a 45% advantage over the i9 7900X in Cinebench R11.5.

Recall that the Intel Core i9 7960X will have an official value of $ 1, 699, while the Threadripper 1950X from AMD sells for $ 999 (1, 100 euros in Spain). Although Intel will surely offer an incredible multitasking processor, AMD is the one that is making it possible to get 16-core processors to the mass market at a much lower price.
