Intel goes Broadwell for 10-core 'monster' i7 Extreme Edition CPU
Eschewing its latest Skylake architecture, Intel has produced a 10-core Broadwell i7 chip, which it says is its most powerful processor to date.
Intel has introduced its first 10-core desktop processor in the form of the Core i7 6950X, which, thanks to hyper-threading, allows for 20 logical cores to be presented to the operating system.
The 6950X is the beefiest of a new quartet of Broadwell-E processors released by the chip giant -- with the 8-core i7 6900K and 6-core i7 6850K and i7 6800K also available -- and arrives with 25MB of cache, a 3GHz base clock speed, support for 4-channel DDR4-2400 memory, 40 PCI-E lanes, and a $1,569 price tag.
