Intel Releases Core i9 9980XE processor
Intel just unleashed its Core i9 9980XE processor, an 18-core CPU that can be seated onto socket 2066 and yes, it can be used on existing X299 motherboards. The processor gets a suggested retail price of 1979 US dollars.
Core i9 9980XE is Skylake-X family and thus a refresh processor that holds faster base and turbo clock frequencies. The base clock for the 9980XE is 3 GHz, which is substantially higher than its predecessor (400 MHz). The maximum single-core turbo clock speed is listed to be 4.5 GHz, 100 MHz higher than the 7980XE. The all-core turbo of the 9980XE is unknown but from what we are reading seems to be 3.8 GHz.
| Processor | Core i9 7980XE Boxed | Core i9 9980XE Boxed |
|---|---|---|
| CPU core | Skylake-X | Skylake-X |
| Socket | 2066 | 2066 |
| Clock frequency | 2.6 GHz | 3.0 GHz |
| All cores turbo clock frequency | 3.4 GHz | ~3.8 GHz |
| Max. turbo clock frequency | 4.4 GHz | 4.5 GHz |
| Number of cores | 18 cores | 18 cores |
| Number of threads | 36 | 36 |
| HyperThreading / SMT | Yes | Yes |
| Thermal design power | 165 W | 165 W |
| Production process | 14 nm | 14 nm |
| Number of PCIe lanes | 44 | 44 |
The Core i9 9980XE with 18 cores and 36 threads will sell for 1979 dollars, excl VAT. We hope to review the proc soon, but that is totally at the liberty of Intel, of course.

For Intel to die, you need Intel to stop doing everything, wait 10 years and then shoot it in head before it turns into zombie.
Can't kill a whale with single punch... unless we talking One Punch Man.
Intel is dead, and they only have themselves to blame.,

I'm not so sure Intel has that much Real Cash. They have a ton of property and employees. I can see what the market says Intel has. I can see the cash flow intel has. All I want is a 9900k and I can't order it. I feel like intel is broke.
Edit: I take that back. Found one for US $ 850.00 bucks. Instock!...... No way in Heck i'm buying that at that price? Seems to me Intel is hard up for cash.

intel seems like they are trying to point the ship in the right direction, by aggressively hiring.
The biggest problem intel has is tripping over its own shoelaces.
The 9980xe is a perfect example of how a marketing person would handle competition, rather than trying to offer a better product, they just slap a bigger number on it and call it a day.
this will work in the short term, but it will errode the trust people have for the company. its a bad move on intel's part, they should have just left it and dropped the price.
The only way i can see intel will retain its market share , is if they price preemptively and aggressively until something better arrives, Its much harder to build/rebuild a brand than to kill one, bulldozer is evidence of that.

While silly claims such as "Intel is dead" or "Intel is on it's way out' are terribly exaggerated, make no mistake that AMD is actively 'pissing in Intel's pond'.
Intel is a behemoth with an almost infinite reserve of cash and resources but the kind of complacency they have been exhibiting for the past several years is catching up to them.
Obviously, they are not going to disappear overnight but these changes take time and there is already verifiable evidence that AMD is making advances in market share.
I don't doubt that many people are still going to buy Intel (myself included for anything gaming related), but even that could change if AMD keep advancing.
When I see products like the 9980XE (which is basically just a rebadged 7980XE), I am not impressed and I know I am not the only one and believe me when I tell you, I am no fanboy of any company, let alone AMD.
In the final analysis, I don't have any problem with AMD's resurgence, it will only be good for all of us in the long run.
