The first performance results of the Core X series processor Core i9-9980XE have been released. Performance tests show slight increases over the current Core i9-7980XE due to higher clock frequencies and an improved thermal design.
Earlier this month, Intel made many announcements for its line of desktop CPUs. The ninth generation of Core S and Core X processors has been introduced. The Intel Core-S series is now available on the market, but the Core-X parts have not yet been released.
Speaking of results here (via Tum APISAK), we see that the Intel Core i9-9980XE CPU scored 10,728 points in the 3DMark Timespy CPU test. The clock frequencies observed in the test are 3.0 GHz as the base and 4.517 GHz as the boost. We know that the chip’s ‘boost’ has a nominal frequency of 4.5 GHz, so if it was in stock that’s a good improvement over the Core i9-7980XE.
In general, it can be said that an improved thermal CPU design and higher clock rates lead to a better processor, which the Core i9-7980XE is supposed to be from the beginning.
The Intel Core i9-9980XE, like the Core i9-7980XE, will have a total of 18 cores and 36 threads, but with higher clock rates. The i9-9980XE chip would include a 3.0 GHz base clock, a 4.5 GHz boost clock, and a 165W TDP. This new Intel processor for the Core-X series is expected to be sold for 1979 dollars.
