| 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 |
Four models Broadwell-E processors 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. To date it is unknown when the new processors will be released.

The article said "costed" and that always sounds weird to me. Other than that, the same people who pay $999 for a processor will probably pay $1500 for one.
