Intel’s upcoming Extreme Edition Core i9-10980XE from the Cascade Lake-X household. Cascade Lake-X (CSL-X) will probably be Intel’s subsequent tackle the High End Desktop (HEDT) methods. The Core i9-10980XE is pegged because the flagship on that lineup, sporting an 18-core, 36-thread design, and are nonetheless primarily based on Intel’s 14 nm course of node. These processors will probably be pin-compatible with Intel’s LGA 2066 platform. Caches are anticipated to be set at 1.125 MB, 18 MB and 24.75 MB of L1, L2 and L3.
Base clocks set within the Geekbench Four entry are set at 4.1 GHz, with a most increase of 4.7 GHz. That’s plenty of frequency on a 14 nm CPU with 18 cores; if earlier entries on the Intel HEDT household (such because the i9-9980XE) sported a 165 W TDP with clocks of three.zero GHz and 4.Four GHz respectively, it appears extremely unlikely that Intel will preserve the identical TDP for the i9-10980XE – and even when they do, energy consumption will definitely be larger. Those reported clocks for the i9-10980XE will not be proper, nonetheless – we do not know the circumstances of the take a look at run.
