Rumor: Intel to announce Core i9-9900XE HEDT Basin Falls Ref…

Lots of announcements today, but there’s a new rumor that next to the Coffee lake-S 9th gen, Intel will also release 9th Gen Core HEDT products. That would be Skylake-X refreshes though.

The new flagship product would be the 9980XE and comes with 18-cores and 36-threads. The clock frequencies at the time of writing are not shared, neither has any info been announced on this. These will be an entirely refresh range: 

• Core i9-9980XE (18 Core)
• Core i9-9960X (16 Core)
• Core i9-9940X (14 Core)
• Core i9-9920X (12 Core)
• Core i9-9900X (10 Core)
• Core i9-9820X (8 Core)
• Core i7-9800X (6 Core)

All these processors are thus refreshed and will likely get an improved turbo frequency. We’ll update as more info comes in, for now this remains to be a rumor.
