Yesterday was 16-core-day! Not only did AMD release its first competitive high-end desktop CPU in a long time in the form of Ryzen Threadripper, Intel showed off for the first time what their high core count Skylake-X parts are capable of.

We compiled a table with the best results per benchmark for your convenience. In total the pair of 16 core processors broke 2 World Records and achieved 7 Global First Places in various 16xCPU categories. As new results fill the database we will update the table to reflect the most up-to-date information.
