Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018
So far, a few weeks into using this new build, I absolutely LOVE this CPU. I primarily use this machine for photo editing with PhotoMechanic, Adobe Photoshop Cloud 2017, and Capture One Pro 11. This CPU can handle everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. Even when I've run a 1000 image export in Capture One Pro, a 500 image batch process in Photoshop, I could go back into Capture One Pro, open a new job, render previews, and start RAW adjustments with absolutely no lag. It worked flawlessly. The RAW adjustment sliders are silky smooth, with no lag. Best of all, the CPU temps have remained an average of 55C under load at 4.4GHz overclocked. At 4.6GHz, the temps only averaged 70C - spiked to 76C a couple of times. I'm using the NZXT Kraken x52 CPU cooler. Works for me.
For Photoshop, an application that prefers high clock frequencies vs. more cores, I love that this CPU has the same 4.5GHz Turbo Boost frequency as the Intel 7700K. That's incredibly impressive for an 8-core CPU. The 7700K, used to be the Photoshop king, but I would bet there is little to no real world difference between this 8 core 7820x and the 4-core 7700K when doing lightly threaded Photoshop tasks. The 7820x is so responsive.
IMO, this CPU might be the best bang for the buck in terms of single, dual and multicore threaded applications. When you factor in the 28 PCIe lanes over the 16 PCIe lanes you get with the might i7 8700K, I still have to give the 7820x the nod. If you only need 16 PCIe lanes, then the 8700K will save you about $200 on the CPU, and maybe $50 on the Motherboard.
With the 7820x you'll want a good Motherboard. Should go without saying, but that doesn't mean the most expensive.
After tons of research about VRM issues with the Skylake-X CPUs, I bought the ASRock Extreme4. The two features I wanted most were, dual 8-pin CPU power connects, and the VRM heat pipe. Intel shotgunned this CPU family release, and IMO it caught the MOB manufacturers off guard, and many release their MOBs too quickly. EVGA wouldn't even release their MOBs, as they hadn't been thoroughly tested. These CPUs are power hungry, and if you OC without a good cooler, VRM cooling, and adequate power, they'll overheat and throttle.
New and 2nd Gen x299 boards are already coming out with these dual 8-pin connects and VRM heat pipes (Taichai XE is one example of a Gen 2 x299 MOB). The Extreme4 is a new board released in November, a good few months after the release of Skylake-X. So they had time to get this board right, and it's one of the least expensive boards on the market.
I had a limited budget of $2,000 - and if I could do it all over again, I would definitely buy this build again.

Decided on the 7900X because of the higher speed compared to the more expensive ones with more cores. Simply put, games don't use all of these cores, and so the 7980XE not has unused potential, but what is used is slower than the 7900X.
For an X299 system, the 7900X is the best CPU for gaming. You may even want to look at a Z370 system, but I want my PCIe lanes, and I want enough for full 16 on 2 video cards. If you only use 1 video card, you'd be happy with Z370 and i7 8700k for gaming.
I let my Asus Rampage VI Extreme board auto overclock this CPU, and it pulled 4.6 out of the bag. Nice!
There is a problem with these CPUs though, and that problem is heat. I have a Corsair H115i AiO watercooler on it, with a push/pull configuration. Now, granted, the 280mm radiator is only like 25~30mm thick, and the tubing is small... The AiO and CPU run around 40C at idle at base speeds. That's 10C higher than my i7 5960X OCed at 4.2GHz. I haven't seen the temps go over 55C, but I haven't run anything like Prime95 to stress the CPU.
All the kids today talk about "delidding" which is a risky process, and not the kind of thing you want to just try on a $900 item. Plus doing so will instantly kill your warranty. But the results are apparently much better temps.
Personally, I plan on putting together my own loop and the H115i is just a temp solution. With a triple 140mm radiator that's 55mm thick, likely a HardwareLabs Black Ice rad, the i9 will be much more controlled. Still, it's a hot CPU! Maybe hotter than McDonald's coffee.

Todo sigue funcionando de maravilla y ahora tengo números más reales de trabajos:
Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 5k de resolución a 300 dpis
5820k - 145 Minutos
7900x - 63 Minutos
Render con Arnold Render (Maya 2018) a 2k de resolución a 72 dpis
5820k - 24 Minutos
7900x - 10 Minutos
La temperatura ha disminuido un poco más no se si por que ya se asentó al 100% la pasta térmica pero a Full Render no sobrepasa los 63 Grados Celsius.
Es una maravilla de procesador completamente recomendable si vas a vivir de el, si es para gaming o hobbie creo que hay mejores opciones, pero para trabajo, puedo decir que en tan solo 1 mes este procesador ya prácticamente se pago.
------------------
Antes que nada me gustaría darles un brief de a que me dedico: Actualmente soy Generalista 3D y muchas veces me llevo el trabajo a casa o me cae uno que otro freelanceo, por lo que tener un equipo de última generación es básico para mi, ahora si al review del producto.
Después de analizar los i9 y los threadrippers y haber leído en todo internet acerca de lo caliente que es este procesador me decidi a comprar Intel, ya que llego muchos años usandolo y NUNCA he tenido un solo problema, ademas los foros de AMD estan repletos de problemas de inestabilidad en los TR y de incompatibilidad con memorias RAM.
7900x, desata a la bestia.
Viniendo de un 5820k (tampoco nada despreciable) la diferencia es muchísima, trabajos de producción en After Effects, Premiere, Nuke y Maya los realiza más de 2 veces más rápido, render para impresión que con el 5820k tomaban al rededor de 2 horas ahora toman 45 minutos, esto ha optimizado muchísimo mis tiempos, me ha permitido tomar mas freelanceos y ha aumentado la calidad de mi trabajo, a mas poder de procesamiento mas cosas puedo meterle.
Ahora hablemos de algo que a muchos les da miedo, la temperatura, en este caso no se si los reviewers sean pagados por alguien o como funcione pero personalmente no se me hace que este procesador corra caliente, lo estoy usando junto con un AIO NZXT Kraken X62 y en idle normalmente esta entre 27 y 32 grados Centigrados, una vez lanzado un render y que el procesador se usa al 100% la temperatura comienza a subir, pero nada que me alarme, la temperatura máxima que le he visto a un núcleo es de 65 grados, nada fuera de lo común y esto usando el modo "Silent" del Kraken. La realidad es que el 5820k a full load llegaba al rededor de los 58 grados por lo que para mi la diferencia es mínima dado cuanto poder tiene de mas.
Lo bueno:
- Excelente procesador, muy fácil de instalar.
- Calidad garantizada, solo lo instale y al primer intento booteo e instalo Windows sin ningún inconveniente.
- Velocidades de infarto hasta 2.5 veces más rápido que un 5820k.
- Tenía miedo de la temperatura pero para mi gusto y estándares 65 grados después de un render a 6k y 300 DPIs no es nada.
- Se que ya lo menciono, pero han probado 10 nucleos a 4.3 GHz??? Es una bestia!!!
Lo malo
- El costo, si bien es una herramienta de trabajo que se paga sola desembolsar más de $20,000 por un procesador es bastante.
Amazon como siempre una maravilla, ordene el domingo por la noche y el martes antes de mediodía ya tenía mi paquete, perfectamente empacado y en perfecto estado.
