12 Core Core i9-7920X CPU-Z Screenshot Surfaces and Shows Specs
Last week we already reported that Intels 12-core Intel Core i9 7920X will get a 400 MHz slower base-clock compared to the 10-core 7900X, that information is now confirmed with a leaked CPU-Z screenshot. The screenshot also reveals a multiplier, and will tell you the Turbo/Boost frequency.
That turbo multiplier is 44 for this $1,199 USD Core i9-7920X, ergo some or just one thread will run at 4400z MH coming all the way from that 2.9 GHz base-clock. The low base-clock is likely needed to deal with heat of the many core design and TDP. The rest of the turbos should be hovering at the familiar 4 GHz domain. The chip has 16.5 MB of L3 and 12 MB of L2 cache.
And that makes things interesting with ther 12-core Ryzen Threadripper part here. AMDs 12-core part will have a 600 MHz faster base clock at 3.5 GHz (boost 4.0 GHz).

yet another Intel roadmap has leaked onto the web. This one should please the more enthusiast users alright. There are two main upcoming product launches, with the more interesting one being the 4th ...

No.
There's not a single Threadripper true benchmark result available, no one knows for sure how it will function, throttle and so on. So...

and that was the same for ryzen.
i say the chance that amd is releasing what everyone expects (performance wise), is pretty good.
for intel, not so much, as most pro-consumer are not willing to spend more and get less (vs amd)
unless they drink blue koolaid..

How do you fit a 12 core processor on a socket for a 10 core processor?
You lower the base frequency at 2.9GHz.
How do you fit an 18 core processor on a socket for a 10 core processor?
You don't want to know.

For sure its the same as 2xRyzen7 1700 at least.

So basically this will be slower than the 12 core Ryzen Threadripper because the IPC are the almost the same on Ryzen architecture, but with some price difference in AMD favour.
Next let see the 16 core I9 how much will the base clock will be lowered vs 16 core Rysen.
If that applies to the 18 core I9 too, as usually does, I wont be surprised if its slower than the 16 core Ryzen, X2 the price.
Can`t wait for some real world testing.
