You're looking at spending 1-1.5k on a Skylake X chip/mobs/ram and you're moaning about £38? Hilarious.

Maybe a Ryzen 1700 is more suited to you? :D

Let's get the awkward bit out of the way first. Yes we were hoping to bring you a review of both the eight core i7-7820X and the ten core i9-7900X today, but for reasons best known to themselves Intel withheld samples from everyone because a couple of sites broke NDA last time. So we're sans samples and other sites - mentioning no names, let's call them Gexus - broke NDA anyway. If I was Intel's lawyers I'd be expecting some work in the coming days. All of which doesn't overcome the fact that we just have the i7-7820X to show you today.

There we have it, the i7-7820X. As fast as you expect it to be, but at £599 not nearly as expensive as Intel might have made it. Award? We're not giving it one. Why? It would be unfair to award a processor we had to source ourselves just so that we had some content live on NDA. We were promised a 4c8t and a 10c20t but apparently all of the (legit Intel) samples are delayed and thats why we have the 8core 7820X, we were trying to make sure we filled in the gaps and brought you the most thorough launch day review we could for all of our readers. At least we didnt break NDA though......

Just as a parting gift, if youve read this far and youve watched the video thank you, if youre here to see if you need to buy the 7820X or for that matter any X299 as the basis for your gaming system we have one thing to say to you. Don't. In the grand scheme of things you either want to go and grab a Z270 /7700K based system or if you want a few more cores for occasional rendering and streaming then just go buy the Ryzen 1700. If you do buy AMD though don't turn into one of the mentalist fanboy keyboard warriors ruining the scene at the moment.

Bit of a poor gaming performance review. Only used a rx480. Even then though at stock you can see it's behind the CPUs with more cores.

You know why that is? usual reviews use an nVidia GPU and their drivers don't play nice with Ryzen.

Check here: https://videocardz.com/70372/intel-hedt-skylake-x-kabylake-x-cpus-x299-motherboard-review-roundup

X299 may truly be more for prosumers this round (although I've made up my mind, I put it putatively to others) so perhaps look at CFL-S come August for your upgrade?
