Intel has unveiled the\u00a0specifications and prices<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of its new range of Core X processors, including the 18-core Extreme Edition.<\/p>\n

The processors are aimed at the high-end desktop market and are compatible with the LGA 2066 socket found on Intel\u2019s X299 chipset.<\/p>\n

Intel\u2019s Core X Series processors are based on the Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X architecture, and are available in Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9 models.<\/p>\n

The chips do not feature any integrated graphics, as all die space is occupied by CPU cores.<\/p>\n

Next-gen performance<\/h3>\n

Intel said content creators can expect up to 20% better performance in VR content creation and up to 30% faster 4K video editing over the previous generation of Intel processors.<\/p>\n

Gamers will also see a performance improvement of up to 30% when multi-tasking.<\/p>\n

The Intel Core i9-7980XE Extreme Edition is the most powerful processor in the lineup, boasting 18 physical cores with 36 threads and a clock speed of up to 4.4GHz using Intel\u2019s Turbo Boost 3.0 technology.<\/p>\n

The powerful CPU does not come cheap, however, and will retail for $1,999 (R26,000) in the US.<\/p>\n

Intel Core X processors with 14, 16, and 18 CPU cores will be available from 25 September, while lower-end products will start shipping from 28 August.<\/p>\n

The specifications and US pricing for Intel\u2019s new Core X Series processors are below.<\/p>\n
