He's posting Firestrike scores, not firestrike extreme
Yes indeed^^^^^
Ya, more hyperbole.....
Your 2700X @ 4.2Ghz

The best 8700K at 5.3Ghz

So for 26% higher clocks (4.2Ghz vs 5.3Ghz) the 8700K scores 6% higher.
That actually leaves me feeling far more impressed with what the 2700X achieved.
My Firestrike score with 8600k is nearly 12k....

Or the latency between cores manifest heavily in certain situations.
Just accept (I mean the Intel trolls) that it's stupid to take a 12-thread processor over a 16-thread one.
So what about the 20 thread Intel beating the 32 thread 1950x then?
(I mean the Intel trolls)
The chips are great. What's rubbish is the ram situation.
I'm sat here with no ram for a week now as I have sent mine back under RMA.
BUT.... 8pack says that 3200MHz isn't even a given even with the 8 Pack ram and a 2700x.
Which I find a truly ridiculous state of affairs.
See comments 477, 478 and 479.

If the new sticks I receive aren't stable at 3200MHz I might regret buying the 2700x when I should have just done the full system swap to the 8700k.
So even tho you have sent the memory back for replacement reading those posts you have quoted it seems that the issue could be down to the individual CPU...?
When 8Pack writes....
3200 on amd imc is not a given you know.... Intel sure but some amd imc are just junk.
