Intel HEDT Cascade Lake-X Procs Have 10-core or more cores - Core i9 10900X Geekbenched
Intel in the next quarter will release a new series of high-end desktop (HEDT) processors, these are called Cascade Lake-X processors which we have discussed a number of times already. More info has now leaked included a geekbench score of the 10-core part.
The first entry would be a core-based Core i9-10900X, with 20 threads this processor is tied towards a quad-channel DDR4 memory interface. The proc has a base clock frequency of 3.70 GHz. The chip keeps the underlying last-gen architecture based on "Skylake-X,". It has 1 MB of dedicated L2 cache per core, and 19.3 MB of shared L3 cache.
A Geekbench tests shows the part to perform roughly similar to an i9-9900X and being 200 MHz faster you will likely see a small bump in performance. With everything AMD Ryzen going on, Intel is expected to price new HEDT processors competitively. Let's hope the accompanying motherboard/chipsets won't have to make up for that difference.
| SKU | Cores / Threads | Clock / turbo (max) | 1T Turbo | TDP | USD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i9-10980XE | 18/36? | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA |
| Core i9-9980XE | 18/36 | 3.0 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 1,979 |
| Core i9-9960X | 16/32 | 3.1 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 1,684 |
| Core i9-10940X | 14/28? | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA |
| Core i9-9940X | 14/28 | 3.3 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 1,387 |
| Core i9-10920X | 12/24? | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA |
| Core i9-9920X | 12/24 | 3.5 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 1,189 |
| Core i9-10900X | 10/20 | 3.7 / 4.6 GHz | 4.7 GHz | 165 W | TBA |
| Core i9-9900X | 10/20 | 3.5 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 989 |
| Core i9-9820X | 10/20 | 3.3 / 4.1 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 165 W | $ 889 |
| Core i7-9800X | 8.16 | 3.8 / 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz | 165 W | $ 589 |
The 10000 series, with up to 18 cores, is based on Cascade Lake-X, which is a derivative Skylake-X at 14nm process. Intel will also be bumping up default memory frequency support towards DDR4-2933. Btw baffling to see it is again a Geekbench leak.

Empowering Creators says Intel.
Empoverish Creators is a more suited slogan, closer to reality.
I find odd that a 10 core HEDT CPU only has so little L3 cache shared between cores.
Let's wait and see what price Intel will ask for it.

Competition is good, from all sides. Will be interesting to see how 'competitive' they'll be with pricing.

10c for 1000€+ nice Intel.

As expected, Intel empoverishes creators, not empowering them.
