Intel introduced the 18-core Core i9 Extreme Core X line
At Computex 2017, held in Taiwan, Intel introduced a new line of processors. The series is called Core X and consists of high-performance PC chips for gamers and people working with demanding content. The lineup includes more powerful versions of the Core i5 and Core i7 already on the market, as well as Core i9 processors.

The youngest model of the line is Core i5-7640X with four cores and the same number of threads (the preliminary cost is $ 242).

In the Core i7 X series, the number of cores is four or ten, and the number of threads is eight or twenty. As for the series Core i9 X, then it will include processors with 12 and 16 cores, 24 and 32 threads respectively.
There will also be released the first consumer-grade 18-core desktop processor Core i9 Extreme with 36 threads (up to $ 1999).
It is called Intel Core i9-7980X and is a response to AMD's Ryzen chip. The chip belongs to the Skylake-X CPU family, compatible with LGA2066 motherboards (on the X299 chipset) and has a new revised cache hierarchy: 24.75 megabytes L3 and 18 megabytes L2. Core i9-7980XE will have a TDP of 165 watts.
The new Skylake-X processors will use thermal paste instead of metal solder with high thermal conductivity as a material for transferring heat from the processor chip to the heat distribution lid. Thus, Intel plans to unify the production technology of processors.
It is known that the previously presented Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technologies will help in the work of the processor. The latter uses the capabilities of the driver and the information stored in the CPU to distribute the load on the fastest kernels. As expected, as part of Turbo Boost 3.0, Skylake-X frequencies will increase up to 4.5 GHz.
Intel is a manufacturer of electronic devices and computer components, including microprocessors and chipsets. The company was founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore in 1968. Intel made a significant contribution to the development of computer technology - specifications for many ports, buses, standards and command systems were developed with the participation of Intel.
