Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen during the upcoming months news leaks related to Skylake-X are making it through almost every day. This time wccftech jumped the gun and they have found some leaks in the Geekbench database. The results are pretty impressive, with the Intel Core i9-7900X hitting over 57'000 points in the multi-core benchmark.

Before looking at all these numbers a few things need to be clarified. First of all the chips tested are engineering samples and not the final CPUs, furthermore all the processors and the DDR4 memory ran at unknown speeds. According to wccftech only the last comparison uses similar CPU clock frequencies.

The first batch of benchmarks shows the difference at default clocks between the Core i7-7800X and the Ryzen 5 1600X in single- and multi-threaded applications since both CPUs feature six cores and twelve threads. According to Geekbench, the upcoming Intel Core i7-7800X at standard stock frequencies hits 37'344 points in multi-core and 6'134 points in single-core, while the Ryzen 5 1600X is able to achieve 25'556 points in multi-core and 4'204 points in single-core. The Core i7-7800X is on average 31% faster in single-threaded and 32% faster in multi-threaded applications compared to the much cheaper Ryzen 5 1600X.

In a second step the guys over at wccftech have checked the difference between two eight core CPUs: the Core i7-7820X and the Ryzen 7 1800X. While the Core i7-7820X reaches 47'032 points running the multi-core routine and 6'034 points single-core, the Ryzen 7 1800X hits 36'189 points multi core and 4'816 points single-core, respectively. Once again the difference is quite impressive, the Core i7-7820X is 37% faster single-threaded and 29% faster in multi-threaded applications.

Last but not least the performance between the Core i9-7900X and the Core i7-6950X has been compared as well. According to the scores, the Intel Core i9-7900X reaches 57'806 points in multi-core and 6'158 points in single-core, while the Core i7-6950X achieves 53'041 points in multi-core and 5'657 points in single-core. The difference between these two models is not that impressive and the average gap is about 10% in single-threaded and multi-threaded applications. Again we have to mention that the information on the actual clock speeds is still to be revealed.

As of today it looks like the rumor mill regarding X299 is starting to spin up and we’re pretty confident more and more leaks will appear the closer we come to the launch.
