Intel has prepared for the announcement of the Core i9-7980XE processor with 18 cores has been made public on the eve of its official announcement, which took place today, and this can be considered an achievement of Intel's press service, because it was kept secret for as long as possible.
The LGA 2066 processor connector, ultimately, will be able to shelter the Skylake-X models with up to 18 pieces of cores.
The difference between the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors is described in the following table:
To begin with, they can work in the same motherboards based on the Intel X299 chipset . Simply in the case of Kaby Lake-X, the number of processor cores will not exceed four, the number of memory channels is two, and the number of PCI Express lines is sixteen. In addition, Kaby Lake-X does not support the technology of dynamically increasing the frequency of Turbo Boost Max 3.0 cores, and also can not work simultaneously with more than two video cards. But the processors TDP level Kaby Lake-X does
not exceed 112 W, and their price rests at $ 339.
Intel hardly hides the fact that the Skylake-X models with more than 10 cores were added to the marketing materials at the last minute. For them, the nominal frequencies and cache volume are not yet specified, although prices have already been determined - $ 1999 for the older model with 18 cores.
With the capabilities of the platform Intel X299 (Basin Falls) introduces the next two slides.
Processors Core i7-7820X and Core i7-7800X, by the way, support only 28 lines PCI Express 3.0 against 44 in older models, but the first one costs $ 599.
Note the line preceding the last table. Intel promises that Skylake-X processors with more than ten cores will appear on the market a little later, but the rest of the models will be available later this month. Representatives of Intel on the pages of the corporate blog blurry promise that the processors of the "X family" will appear on the market in the coming weeks. Related Products :
