Core X-Series
The Intel Core i9-9960X is a 16-core, 32-thread high-end desktop processor from Intel’s Skylake-X Refresh generation, built on a 14 nm process and designed for the LGA2066 platform with quad-channel DDR4-2666 memory and 44 PCIe 3.0 lanes.
View specsIntel Core i9-9980XE
Core X-Series
The Intel Core i9-9980XE is an 18-core, 36-thread high-end desktop processor built on the Skylake-X architecture and manufactured on Intel’s 14nm++ process. Designed for the LGA2066 platform, it offers quad-channel DDR4-2666 memory support, 44 PCIe 3.0 lanes, and aggressive turbo frequencies up to 4.5 GHz via Turbo Boost Max 3.0, making it aimed at content creators, workstation users, and enthusiasts who need massive multi-threaded performance and ample I/O. Intel markets it as a 9th-gen Core X-Series part, but under the hood it is a Skylake-X refresh rather than a new microarchitecture, with the same 18-core die as the earlier i9-7980XE but higher clocks and solder thermal interface material for improved thermals. Launched in Q4 2018 and now discontinued, it was Intel’s flagship HEDT CPU until the Cascade Lake-X i9-10980XE arrived in late 2019.
