Intel Announces Its First 10-Core Desktop CPU
Intel has announced its first 10-core desktop CPU, the Core i7-6950X Extreme Edition, today at Computex. The new processor will run at 3GHz (with boost speeds up to 3.5GHz), pack in 25MB of cache and feature Intel's new Turbo Boost 3.0 technology. Just but be prepared for you and you wallet crying, as the 10-core i7 Extreme Edition will cost $1,723. Intel claims it's 2X as fast as the quad-core i7 6700K when it comes to 3D rendering, and 35% faster than the last-gen Core i7-5960X. It's 25 % faster than the 5960X when it comes to gaming in 4K while encoding and broadcasting a 1080p Twitch stream. The new Extreme Edition of i7 processors will also be available in an 8-core version (the i7-6900K for $1,089) and 6-core variants (the $617 i7-6850K and the $434 i7-6800K). All of the new chips also support DDR4-2400 RAM.
