After unveiling the 10th generation Core i-series processors codenamed Ice Lake and Comet Lake, Intel further announced the new Core X-series extreme edition processors, including the Core i9-10900X, Core i9-10920X, Core i9-10940X, and Core i9-10980XE.
In terms of architecture, the new generation of Core X-series processors still utilizes the Skylake design and 14nm process, but with related design enhancements. The Core i9-10980XE achieves up to 4.8GHz in Boost Max mode.
此次推出的Core X系列極致版處理器，包含採10核心、20執行緒設計的Core i9-10900X，建議售價為590美元，採12核心、24執行緒設計的Core i9-10920X建議售價為689美元。另外，採14核心、28執行緒設計的Core i9-10940X建議售價為784美元，而採18核心、36執行緒設計的Core i9-10980XE，建議售價為979美元。
The four processors are expected to be officially launched in November this year.
However, with AMD's recent Ryzen processor sales performance, Intel has apparently adopted a price reduction strategy for its high-end processors to compete with AMD in the consumer market. For example, the Core i9-9980XE launched last year was priced at US$1990, while the Core i9-10980XE launched this time is sold at only US$979.
