Cascade Lake X: Intel's 18-core processor revealed in Geekbench 4
The new Cascade Lake X processors have not yet been officially unveiled. A Geekbench 4 result that emerged at the end of last week offers an initial insight.
The processor is an 18-core with the code name Intel 0000. The processor's identifier lists "Stepping 7", which identifies the processor as a Cascade Lake chip. . According to Geekbench, the processor comes with 18 cores, 36 threads and 24.8 MB L3 cache. It should therefore be the successor to Intel's Core i9-9980XE. According to the specifications, the processor runs at 2.19 GHz in the base clock and 3.28 GHz in the maximum clock. It is obvious that these figures cannot be correct. The processor should clock much higher.
In Geekbench 4, the 18-core achieves 5387 points in single-core and 54597 in multi-core. According to Tom's Hardware, it outperforms the Intel Core i9-9980XE by 3.36 per cent in single-core and 7.4 per cent in multi-core. Of course, these results are not yet final and the first benchmarks will show what the final product can do.
There is no release date yet for the Cascade Lake X processors.
