The VRMark's Orange Room becnhmark gave a good score to the Core i9-7900X and the Core i7-7820X. Obviously the specific benchmark is based on single-threaded performance and adding more cores does not make any difference.

We also measured the systems' performances with the Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation game at a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and in DirectX 12 mode and the "Standard" quality settings.

Intel's models performed well here but the lead goes to the Core i9-7960X.
