Intel® Core™ i7-7800X X-series

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Skylake architecture. It launched in Apr 2017. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.0 GHz boost. A 8.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2066 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (28 lanes). Rated TDP is 140 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series scores 2,378 in single-core performance and 12,994 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 5,559 for overall performance, 11,775 for productivity performance, 11,427 for creator performance, 12,913 for engineering performance and 10,383 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,166 per core, 1,083 per thread and 93 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 470. Its performance index is 69, so its overall performance is 31% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-7800X X-series scores 42,109 in integer math, 26,038 in floating-point math, 186,406 in compression, 4,422 in cryptography, 809 in physics simulation, 15,888 in vector SIMD, 45 in the prime sieve and 23,419 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 28% below in integer math, 43% below in floating-point math, 18% below in compression, 62% below in cryptography, 26% below in physics simulation, 2% above in vector SIMD, 33% below in the prime sieve and 3% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Skylake architecture, carries the codename Skylake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Apr 2017.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series has 384 KB of L1 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache and 8.3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 14.6 MB of cache, or 2.44 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 6 MB and L3 at 8.3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 56% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 128 GB of memory and uses 4 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series uses the FCLGA2066 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 28 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i7-7800X X-series has a rated TDP of 140 W.
