Intel has announced its 10th generation line-up of high-end Core i9 processors for desktop PCs, Tom’s Hardware<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>reported.<\/p>\n

The Cascade Lake-X processors will arrive in November 2019 and are based on the existing Skylake microarchitecture and manufactured on a 14nm process.<\/p>\n

Intel\u2019s updated Ice Lake-based design uses a 10nm manufacturing process, but these chips are currently only available in premium laptops.<\/p>\n

Base clock speeds in the desktop processors have been increased across the new generation and Intel has improved its Turboboost capability, allowing for the boosting of up to four cores.<\/p>\n

The upped clock speeds also result in a heightened thermal design point of 165W.<\/p>\n

Pricing and competition<\/h3>\n

Prices of these new processors have been cut by as much as 50% compared to the 9th-generation chips.<\/p>\n

These prices cannot be compared directly, however, as Intel only made the price per unit for purchases of at least 1,000 chips available.<\/p>\n

The top-end Core i9-10980XE will cost $979, as opposed to the launch price of $1,990 for last year\u2019s Core i9-9980XE.<\/p>\n

The most affordable option in the new series, the 10-core i9-10900X will be priced at $590, while the i9-9900X will cost $1,020.<\/p>\n

The table below illustrates the specifications and prices of the 10th-generation Core i9 desktop processors.<\/p>\n
