Intel announced its new Intel Core X-series processor family, which is Intel’s most scalable, accessible, and powerful desktop platform ever.
The Intel Core X-series processor family introduces a series of firsts that reflect the extreme performance it is delivering. According to Intel, this family includes Intel’s first teraflop desktop CPUs, a prime example of just how much raw compute these processors can handle. Intel is also introducing the entirely new Intel Core i9 processor, representing the highest performance for advanced gaming, VR, and content creation. At the top of the lineup is the new Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition processor – the first consumer desktop CPU with 18 cores and 36 threads.
With such a wide range of options and price points to match, the new Intel Core X-series processor family reportedly delivers the most scalable and accessible desktop platform for the enthusiast community.
More than just offering extra cores, however, the Intel technologies work together to deliver performance across the entire platform. Along with this family of processors, Intel is introducing the new Intel x299 chipset, which adds even more I/O and overclocking capabilities. And, it is announcing updates to Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, which will now identify the two top performing cores and direct critical workloads to those cores for a big jump in single- or multithreaded performance. It supports multiple screens for a 12K experience with up to four discrete graphics cards.
