Background on Intel Core X-series CPU
Intel's enthusiast-class "Core X" processors represent the top-end of their consumer CPU line, and bridge the gap between the more mainstream chips and the Xeon server-grade models. The current processors in this line range from ten to eighteen cores, with base clock speeds of 3.0 to 3.7GHz - and turbo boost speeds of up to 4.8GHz. The combination of high core counts with high clock frequencies allow these processors to excel at both single and multi-threaded workloads, while supporting more RAM and PCI-E lanes than the less expensive Core series.
William George (Product Development) Says:
Multiple generations of processors from Intel have now carried the "Core X" moniker, which can make this product line a little confusing. Some previous generations have included models with limited numbers of PCI-E lanes or reduced RAM capacity, but the latest 10000-series seems to have done away with that. Intel also drastically cut the price on this processor family, which is great!
