Review: Intel Core i9-7980XE (14nm Skylake-X)

Memory Bandwidth

Core i9-7980XE uses quad-channel memory, just like Threadripper and Core i9-7900X. Because we have updated the BIOS to the latest at the time of writing (0802) the numbers are much more in line with what we expect. AMD is shown as being faster because we're running that platform at DDR4-3200 as opposed to DDR4-2666.
