The core wars

Intel has announced its four-to-twelve core Core X series and the top of the line is the 18-core processor of new Core i9 series.

Gregory M. Bryant, a new CCG boss whose official title at Intel is corporate vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group, was the person to announce these new processors.

It is hard not to mention the Thread reaper, aka AMD’s 16 core Zen-based desktop processor, when we mention Intel’s Core i9. It looks like that AMD’s 16-core product will go against Intel’s 18-core Core i9 7980XE, at the highest end Intel even said that it wants a whole $1999 for this part.

The processor is known as the Core i9 Extreme Edition processor and it is definitely the first consumer desktop CPU with 18 cores and supporting 36 threads.
