At the consumer electronics 2017 Computex, Intel presented a new supercharged processors, among which were presented to and expected a series of Core i9.

Range of Core processors, X starts with a 4-core Intel Core i5-7640X, estimated Intel 242 USD. Three Core i7 have 4 to 8 cores and estimated from 339 USD for a 4-core Core i5-7640X, finishing with 599 US dollars for the chip Core i7-7820X. Among the most high-speed Core i9 chips in the moment, the technical data only on the Core i9-7900X with 10 cores and the ability to work with 20 threads. The processor is estimated at 999 USD. Intel Core i9-7980X Extreme Edition, which is top in this line has 18 cores and supports up to 36 threads. First performance of the Intel chip for custom computer reached about teraflops (1012 operations per second). Tuj cnjbvjcnm – $1 999.

All processors of the model range Core X use the X architecture Skylake (except, the model with 4 cores based on Kaby Lake X). Innovative technology Turbo Boost Max 3.0 (integrated in the top of the chip) provides an increase of 1/10 performance when handling multi-threaded data and almost 15% growth in a single-threaded calculations. Processors equipped with a universal platform LGA 2066, can work with 4 channel RAM DDR4-2666 memory Optane Intel and Intel X299. Motherboards with updated features will be available soon.

As for the Intel Core eighth generation, the company States that their productivity will be even higher than the stated 15 percent increase compared to the Core i7. It really is achieved a 30 percent increase in productivity. Coffee Lake processor using 14-nanometer technology will be presented by the end of this year.
