Intel Core i9-7980XE 18 Core HEDT CPU Review

Blender

The scores we saw from the Threadripper in Blender were so fantastic we nearly fell off our chairs and certainly didn’t expect anything to get near to them for a while. More fool us. The stock i9-7980XE matches the overclocked Threadripper and the overclocked i9-7980XE is capable of running both tests before the Threadripper has run the 4K test alone, and still have a minute left over to twiddle your thumbs. Ludicrous.
