Yesterday the NDA lifted for the last two CPUs of the Intel Core X series processors. Including the 16 core processor, the Core i9-7940X, Core i9-7960X and Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition CPUs broke a total of 7 World Records and 27 Global First Places.

The clear winner of this launch is the ASRock X299 OC Formula with 3 World Records and 23 Global First Places by Splave from the United States. Also showing strength is EVGA with 3 World Records and 1 Global First Place by K|ngp|n from the USA. Third to the party is the inevitable ASUS ROG team with 1 World Record and 3 Global First Places by Der8auer, Elmor and Rsannino.
