A 10-core Intel Cascade Lake-X processor appears in SiSoftware Sandra
Filtered in SiSoftware Sandra an Intel Cascade Lake-X processor that will have a total of 10 nacelles and 20 threads, designed for workstations.
Even with demand satisfaction problems and with 10nm stuck, Intel continues to launch processors. Although it is not necessary, they insist on launching processors, which rarely contribute anything. An example would be the Cascade Lake-X that has been seen in the SiSoftware Sandra software. This processor is designed for the HEDT system and uses the LGA 2066 socket. Everything indicates that this processor will be presented in May, during Computex 2019. An attempt to take away the prominence of AMD, which seems quite stupid.

The data shows us a 10-core processor and 20 processing threads. This will work at a base frequency of 4.0GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 4.6GHz. This processor has a 3MB L19.25 cache. It is based on 14nm ++ lithography and will arrive with X499 chipset motherboards. This chipset will replace the X299 and they will not use the X399 name because AMD stole it for the Threadripper.
We can compare it to the Core i9-9900X, which had a base frequency of 3.5GHz (improved by 14%). The i9-9900X's Boost frequency was 4.5GHz, improving only 2% in this case. This processor that is already on the market has the problem of consuming 165W and costing more than 1000 euros. It competes against the Threadripper 2950X with 16 cores and 32 threads. This is priced 200 euros higher than Intel and barely has a somewhat higher TDP, 180W. Although for about 300 euros more we have the Threadripper 2970X with 24 cores and 48 threads with a TDP of 250W.
Intel insists on releasing nonsense processors, like the Xeon W-3175X. This processor costs 3.000 euros and a compatible motherboard costs 1.500 euros. Everything to have a Xeon that is capable of overclocking, something that does not make much sense.
