The new Intel Basins Falls processors have many problems, including performance problems in gaming, something that was to be expected, temperature problems, which were already clear when it was seen that the DIE was not soldered to the HIS and in the price, the which is extremely high.

The new Intel Basins Falls processors have finally arrived, not on the market, but we have seen a barrage of reviews based on these processors. Many of the international media, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and the Scandinavian area, are commenting that these processors, in their assembler version, are horrible. Regarding the new Intel processors, we know the specific release date, which will be next day 26, when they will begin to be distributed, the specifications and prices. These processors are unleashing a wave of criticism.

The Skylake-X processors, specifically the i7 7800X, i7 7820X and i9 7900X, which cost $ 389, $ 599 and $ 999, respectively. We are not going to reproduce the specifications, we will leave them in a table at the end of the article, so that you can analyze them calmly. The first thing that strikes us about these processors is that the number of lines depends directly on the number of cores and depending on what we want to pay, we will have more or fewer lines, without commenting that some processors, the highest-end, do not we know the number of lines and the complete specifications of them.

These processors are expensive, we cannot deny that, but we must bear in mind that these processors are not designed for gaming at all, it is a fallacy that is usually put into some media with little judgment and little hardware knowledge. Despite the fact that Intel sells them as gaming, buying a processor with more than six cores is a sovereign stupidity, although we will talk about that better at another time, because it seems that it is not clear. These processors are not justified for gaming, not even the Kaby Lake-X, with four cores.

Speaking of the four cores, I will explain my experience. When I bought the equipment I opted for an Intel processor. Among all the options, opt for the K Series, which allows overclocking, to improve performance if you need it at any given time. You had the option to save a bit if you went for a processor without an iGPU, but go for one with integrated graphics. The thing went well for me, because in the absence of a month to finish the guarantee of my graph, it broke. Not having integrated graphics would have caused a week to go by without a computer, but at least with integrated graphics, I could go a long way.

Going back to Intel. The processors are giving some pretty pathetic results in gaming, to be honest, which makes it clear that a processor with so many cores for gaming is useless, on the contrary, it can be a problem. If we analyze the specific benchmarks where all the cores are used and the more cores and more frequency, the better, like Cinebench R15, we see that the processor sweeps. In addition, these processors are dragging a problem that creeps from the Kaby Lake, the horrible heat conductive paste, which requires having powerful heatsinks.

The total shame on the part of Intel, was to say that the Intel Kaby Lake, which arrived in January, that we analyzed and that we highlighted their temperature problems, which according to Intel do not have temperature problems and recommend not overclocking or the warranty is lost, So why should I spend money to buy a K Series processor, if Intel tells me that it will not give me a guarantee if I overclock a processor developed for overclocking? It's stupid. The Kaby Lake-X and the Skylake-X would also have significant temperature and consumption problems, at least the factory models, the pre-market versions, but come on, the look is that we are going to have equally bad processors.

Right now one can ask what is the sense of launching processors at all costs and without sense. High prices, high temperatures that significantly shorten the life of the processor, invest in powerful dissipation systems that make the system more expensive, motherboards that have a high cost to support and all this with a performance that is too tight. We are entering a massive processor release cycle, some prematurely, with miscellaneous issues, incomplete BIOS-level motherboards, and miscellaneous compatibility issues with software and games.
