Intel releases Skylake X
 

Parties like its $999

Intel has released its new Skylake-X with ten cores to play with for a price tag of $999.

The last generation, Broadwell-E, offered two six-cores, one eight-core , and a top-tier 10-core processor. The two six-core parts differed in terms of PCIe lane count.

Now it seems that Intel will launch four Skylake-X processors based on the LCC die, which for this platform will have a maximum of 12 cores. All processors have hyperthreading.

The Core i7-7800X, runs at 3.5 GHz with a 4.0 GHz turbo. This design lacks Intel’s ‘favoured core’ Turbo 3.0 technology, but will have six cores, support quad-channel memory at DDR4-2400, at a TDP of 140W, have 28 PCIe lanes, and retail for around $400.
