The Intel Core i7-7820X has also been tested on both stock and overclocked settings. The chip is the fastest 8 core model of the Skylake X family and features 8 cores, 16 threads with a total cache of 19 MB (L2+L3). The chip is clocked at 3.6 GHz base, 4.3 GHz boost and a max boost 3.0 clock of 4.5 GHz. These frequencies are much higher than the Core i7-7800X but results in a slightly more priced part. The Core i7-7820X costs $599 US, this puts the price at $100 US high compared to AMD’s flagship Ryzen 7 1800X CPU. The chip supports a 140W TDP and is compatible with the LGA 2066 socket.
In the first set of tests, we spot an Intel Core i7-7820X running at overclocked speeds. The chip scores 6034 points in single threaded and 47032 points in multi-threading tests. We selected the highest score for the Ryzen 7 1800X listed on Geekbench 3 database. The competitor chip scored 4816 in single threaded and 36189 points in multi-threading tests with an overclock of 4.12 GHz. At default clocks, the highest score for the Ryzen 7 1800X chip was 4387 points in single-threaded and 34647 points in multi-threading test.
The Intel Core i7-7820X was overclocked to very extreme clock frequencies of 5802 MHz using LN2 cooling. This overclock resulted in a score of 6138 points in single-threaded and 47869 point in the multi-threading test. Similarly, a maximum overclock for the Ryzen 7 1700X was used with clocks of 5165 MHz and that chip resulted in a score of 5769 points in single-thread and 43539 points in the multi-thread test.
