Specifications for Intel’s 12-18 core i9 X299 CPUs have leaked

 
Some new information about Intel’s upcoming 12-18 core Skylake-X CPUs has been leaked to Videocardz, revealing the clock speeds, cache sizes and TDPs of Intel’s Ultra-high-end X299 lineup. 

Videocardz has admitted that they have not been able to fully verify this information, which means that like any leak this information should be treated like a rumour. Even so, these specifications are similar to other recent leaks.  

We can see that even with increased core counts, Intel has been able to offer some high turbo boost frequencies on their high core count CPU offerings, offering Turbo Boost 3.0 speeds of 4.4GHz, which is a high boost clock speed for any modern CPU. Even so, the base clock speeds of higher-end models do see a downward trend after Intel’s CPUs reach a higher TDP of 165W.    

 

  Archtecture Process Cores/Threads Base Boost 2.0 Boost 3.0 L3 Cache PCIe lanes TDP Price
Core i9 7980XE Skylake-X 14nm 18/36 2.6GHz 4.2GHz 4.4GHz 24.75MB 44 165W $1999
Core i9 7960X 16/32 2.8GHz 4.2GHz 4.4GHz 22MB 44 165W $1699
Core i9 7940X 14/28 3.1GHz 4.3GHz 4.4GHz 19.25MB 44 165W $1399
Core i9 7920X 12/24 2.9GHz 4.3GHz 4.4GHz 16.5MB 44 140W $1199
Core i9 7900X 10/20 3.3GHz 4.3GHz 4.5GHz 13.75MB 44 140W $999
Core i7 7820X 8/16 3.6GHz 4.3GHz 4.5GHz 11MB 28 140W $599
Core i7 7800X 6/12 3.5GHz 4.0GHz N/A 8.25MB 28 140W $389
Core i7 7740X Kaby Lake-X 4/8 4.3GHz 4.5GHz N/A 8MB 16 112W $339
Core i5 7640X 4/4 4.0GHz 4.2GHz N/A 6MB 16 112W $242

What we can see here is that Intel’s higher core count offerings will not be making any major sacrifices when it comes to single-threaded performance, which is great news for consumers.  

It will be very interesting to see how AMD’s upcoming Threadripper series of CPUs will compete with Skylake-X, given their more affordable pricing per core and the 64 available PCIe 3.0 lanes that are present in every Threadripper CPU.
