Now while these have way more L3, Cores and Threads, it seems that the Xeon Gold 6130 is scoring similarly to this i7-7900X. Other than that the only CPUs ranking close to it, below third place, are previous Gen Xeons with 22C/44T.
The only way for Skylake-X to have serious IPC gains over broadwell is if it was an entirely different core than thee normal Skylake, which is highly doubtful as Intel has never done that to date.
This is explained more by a bad reading of the benchmark, not detecting cores and such correctly
Wow, suspiciously awesome. I wonder why it's reporting 175W when I thought these were supposed to be 160W. Is Intel gonna finally stop doling out 5-10% IPC increases?

Exactly what I was thinking. These CPUs will supposedly have 4x more L2 cache than before, at 1 MB per core vs 256 KB; if a certain benchmark benefits immensely from fitting inside the L2 cache, then it can skew the results - as far as real world general performance is concerned that is.
I'm really curious to see if Intel was leaving any general IPC on the table with mainstream Skylake though, or if this will only increase very specific workloads' performance.
If we ignore the aggregate results, and look at individual test parts....it starts to look like a cherry picked test. I am just going to poke a guess that the cores themselves have seen typical IPC like the 6700k-7700k, and we are really just seeing a cache test..
I am not complaining! I have a feeling that there are going to be some games that see some pretty good gains, or at least will have a bottleneck removed. Specifically, looking at Bethesda's Gamebryo engine and the way it handles shadows, but surely others as well.
10MB L2 definitely did the trick, even broadwell-C's 128MB eDRAM cache did some magical things on certain benchmarks.

I'd be happy to finally see a proper performance increase from Intel for a change but I'm taking this with a mountain of salt and being realistic.
