| Processor | Cores/threads | Clock frequency | L3-cache | Socket |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intel Core i7-6950X | 10/20 | 3GHz | 25MB | LGA2011-v3 |
| Intel Core i7-6900K | 8/16 | 3,3GHz | 20MB | LGA2011-v3 |
| Intel Core i7-6850K | 6/12 | 3,6GHz | 15MB | LGA2011-v3 |
| Intel Core i7-6800K | 6/12 | 3,4GHz | 15MB | LGA2011-v3 |
As stated, four models will be released, the i7-6950X, i7-6900K, i7-6850K and i7- 6800K. That Core i7-6950X thus is the flagship CPU. X is Extreme with totally unlocked multipliers and voltages, the K models are more or less the same with a slightly lower voltage ceiling. All models will get some Turbo (dynamic clock frequency) allowance as well. It is unknown when the new processors will be released precisely as Intel has been moving back and forth data from slides quite a lot in the past. The TDP for these processors will likely be 140W.

Unless it's used with a highly paralleled program, I don't see the i7-6950X running faster than the i7-6800K.
