At the core of the Intel Core X Series processor family, Corei5-7640X is $ 242, a processor that offers 4 core and 4 threads; While the Intel Core i7 X Series starts at $ 399 for the 4-core and 8-thread versions, however, it's necessary to spend $ 599 for the 10 core and 20 thread versions.

As for the Intel Core i9 X series, four models are available, ranging from $ 999 for 12 core and 24 threads, up to $ 1699 for versioned 16 core and 32 threads.

All new Core X processors are compatible with the new Intel x299 chipset, which allows you to gain more I / O and overclocking capabilities. At the same time, Intel announced updates to Intel Turbo Boost Max3.0 technology, which is now able to identify the two most powerful core and address the critical workloads to these core, with a significant increase in single and multithreaded performance.

Both for Core i9 processors and for Core i7 Intel models, they have developed a liquid cooling system to dissipate the heat produced by these CPUs with a 140 W-rated Thermal Design Power (TDP), which can be reached under full load. The introduction of Core i9 processors and Intel's many core computing cores had already been anticipated a few weeks ago, a move deemed indispensable to face the increasingly aggressive competition of AMD Ryzen. With the new models introduced at Computex, Intel seems to have quickly regained the podium for the top processor for specifics and performance.

In terms of architecture, almost all X Core family processors were built on an updated Skylake platform named SkylakeX. The two 4core, i5-7640X and i7-7740X models are built on KabyLake X platform.

Finally, Intel released a small update on the future processor line, called CoffeeLake. The Santa Clara company announced that the eighth generation of Intel Core processors will deliver greater performance, more than 30% compared to the seventh generation Intel Core. However, we still do not know exactly when this new generation of processors will be on the market.
