Core i9 10990XE processor spotted, has 22 cores and 44 threads.
You've probably read our Core i9 10980XE review right? The most versatile (in cores) HEDT processor for the consumer market from Intel, a $979 product that sits as the flagship processor in the new Cascade lake line of processors with 18-cores. Well, Intel might be brewing something more.
Over in Asia the Chiphell forums shows two screenshots that will stir up some hype, a 22-core part on the X299 platform has been spotted. It's called, tagged and labeled the Core i9-10990XE, and perhaps Intel is looking to release it? it has four more cores compared to the current flagship product.
The Core i9-10990XE is shown in a CPU-Z screenshot as well as a Cinebench result. Zooming in on the specs you can see a "Cascade Lake-X" architecture. The proc is listed as having 22 cores 44 threads. Cache info shows 1 MB of dedicated L2 cache per core and 30.25 MB of shared L3 cache. Interesting is that this engineering sample is listing a base clock of 4.00 GHz with 5 GHz shown in the screenshot (we assume one core turbo). The i9-10990XE is listing 14,005 points in CB20 which is Threadripper 3960X territory (24 cores). I should mention the TDP listed though, 380 Watt. Have a peek:

Looks like the OLD x299 plattform will live a few years more

Intel is fighting with what they have even its abomination that pulls 500W with some extreme cooling. Its sad where they end up to.

Yes it's sad, but my 2 years old delidded 7980xe is still kicking some ass @ 4,7ghz all core 49ns memorylatency, so it's faster then max overclocked 3900x/3950x in everything. Looks like I'm not upgrading the cpu for a few years

I seriously hope this isn't the real product - 380 watt TDP FFS!
This is especially worrying since Intel advertises the TDP based on the base clock. What's the turbo TDP? 500W? Is this really the best that Intel can do to counter (the 280 watt peak usage) Threadripper?
