- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018Fast, very fast. Just make sure you get a proper cooling system, and test that it can be run under full performance to ensure it functions properly and can run all 32 threads.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 20197980xe was purchased for a 4k editing desktop that originally had a 7820x, so I had an already working platform. The 7980xe came in a sealed container but wouldn't boot upon installation, only start up for a fraction of a second and restart. Replaced the 7980xe with the 7820x to verify that it was working correctly, updated bios to make sure that wasn't the issue. Upon reinstalling the 7980xe I realized the IHS was loose (not possible if it wasn't tampered with) and after researching online I noticed that the die is way to small for a 7980xe. You can tell by looking at the thermal paste outline on the IHS, there is a large and small outline from two dies.
Be very careful if you purchase the higher end variations. Sellers be careful of returns that look sealed.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018You ever just think life is going to be awesome and nothing will change? After I clicked order some medical expenses came up and I was like... why did I just drop 2grand on a CPU when I could have bought 5 8700K's and still had money left over?
Either way, I think it's a great processor for Video/Compression/Uncompressing so I might just have to dump this build to a PLEX/Emby server and let the bullet just be bit.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020Awesome for streaming on my separate pc so I don’t downgrade the content I’m playing.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017Bought this CPU for some heavy multi tasking work. I use it in conjunction with a EK L360 R2.0. Temperatures don't go above 49C totally loaded with no overclock. For anyone that works with cad heavy home projects or anyone that wants to hold off on doing a full platform upgrade for several years this chip will more then suffice.
This chip is currently running fine on a MSI x299 Tomahawk arctic, an affordable board with a modest VRM and power regulation system. You don't need to buy an expensive board to run the chip if all you are looking to do is work with it and casually game.
That said at the end of the day this CPU (7980XE) absolutely screams.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018Never can beat it !!! It would appear that thy i9 9980xe is not able to handle temperature as thy i9 7980XE (I have this)… What am I to think when thy temperature says 84 Celsius and 94 Celsius for thy 7980XE????? I guess it does not take thy heat very well? I now need a custom cooling loop yet I chose "hybrid" w/ i9 7980XE this is thy better processor!!!!! I am grateful to intel for this if it is true, I have desire to OC, ty intel... Even Kingpin does OC w/ i9 7980XE! We shall see.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018Ordered an i9-7980xe in a supposed factory sealed box. Installed CPU and windows says it's an i5. Assume it's a driver issue and do some troubleshooting. Eventually pull CPU out of computer and lo and behold when I read the silk screen on the chip it is an i5. It's now long after the return window and I'm left holding a $200 CPU after paying $2000 for an i9.

TRAVELboyReviewed in Germany on May 31, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Gäbe es 10 Sterne, diese CPU würde sie bekommen.
Da ich seit ca. 30 Jahren im Bereich der 3D-Animation und -Visualisierung arbeite, benötige ich immer die schnellsten Rechner.
"Extrem schnell" heißt aber auch oft "extrem unbezahlbar", so baue ich mir meine Workstations immer selber,
habe dann genau das, was ich benötige und spare meist eine Menge Geld.
Gut... der Preis des i9 7980XE ist schon jenseits von Gut und Böse, aber diese CPU ist jeden einzelnen Taler wert.
In 30 Jahren habe ich es nicht geschafft, auch nur einen anderen Prozessor so hoch zu übertakten wie diesen hier.
Zwei Wochen lang habe ich mich mit Overclocking beschäftigt...habe getuned...einen Tag ganz normal damit gearbeitet,
wieder getuned, wieder gearbeitet uswusf.
Mit dieser Methode teste ich meine PCs, da mir alle Stresstests zu unrealistisch und zu synthetisch sind.
Getestet und oc'ed habe ich für 3D Studio Max (Mental Ray, VRay, Redshift), Adobe After Effects, Davinci Resolve,
diverse Videokonverter, Winzip und allem, was ich als 3D Artist so einsetze.
Rockstable bin ich (in Verbindung mit einer Fractal Design S36 AIO und 6 Lüftern) bei 4,6 GHz gelandet.
Rockstable heißt bei mir: Wenn die Kiste Mental Ray und VRay überlebt, dann ist sie wirklich rockstable,
denn Cinebench, Prime, AIDA, Super PI, Furmark, XTU und Intel Burn Test, steckt diese CPU mit einem müden Lächeln weg.
Aktuell fahre ich diese CPU allerdings auf 4,8 GHz, da ich mittlerweile auf den GPUs rendere und für mich
MR und VR nicht mehr so wichtig sind. Beim ganz normalen Arbeiten mit 3D Studio Max im Vordergrund
und dem Berechnen von 2000 Bildern in FullHD im Hintergrund (mit Redshift), murmelt der i9 mit 45°-52°C vor sich hin.
Winzip bringt ihn allerdings gerne mal an die Max-Temp (die bei mir auf 94°C eingestellt ist)...dann wird ein wenig gethrotteld
(aber nur auf 4 der 36 cores)
Härtetest waren das parallele (!) Berechnen einer 3D-Szene (2000 Bilder/FullHD) mit Redshift und dem Berechnen von
34 (vierunddreissig) 90-minütigen Filmen - wohl gemerkt: Parallel und nicht gequeued. Die Filme waren in sage und schreibe zw. 27-35 Minuten berechnet, während Redshift fleißig weiter bis zum Schluss gerendert hat. Temps lagen hier bei max 87°c. (bei Raumtemperatur von 21°C) - Stromverbrauch (gemessen): 845W (+/-10W) durchgängig.
Ich denke, ich habe mit meiner CPU einen besonders guten build erwischt, denn ich habe mit allem gerechnet, nur nicht damit.
Für längere Winzip-Sessions (wenn ich meine Kundendaten archiviere), werde ich die Fractal Design S36 in einen Custom-Loop
umbauen, damit mir beim Packen die Kiste nicht abraucht.
BTW: Cinebench ->Multithreaded : 4622 (stable)
Muss man mehr dazu sagen? :)
Meine ganz klare Empfehlung! ! !
Danke INTEL, DAS habt ihr grandios gemacht. Die beste CPU, die ich je in den Händen halten und verbauen durfte.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intel, processore Core I9, 7980XE, 2,6 Ghz,18 Core, socket 2066
un'ottimo processore,ho visto subito la differenza,sia a fare conversioni di foto in raw in jpeg,certo costicchia ma se uno vuole la potenza non si bada a spese,il consumo alla presa,280w con il monitor,avevo letto nei forum che ci voleva un'alimentatore da 1000w,per la corrente che assorbiva,io sulla mia macchina ho un'alimentatore della evga da 750w nessun problema,con i giochi 307w in totale,sono + che soddisfatto.
