Intel Core i9-7920X 2.9GHz (Skylake X / Basin Falls) Socket

Product information: Core i9-7920X 2.9GHz (Skylake X / Basin Falls) Socket LGA2066 Processor - Retail X for eXtreme With up to 18 cores as well as Hyper Threading the Core i7- and Core i9-series CPUs bearing the codename Skylake-X represent Intels new flagship processors in the consumer market. With up to 44 PCIe-lanes for multi-GPU systems, socket 2066 processors belong amidst the rarefied segment of truly enthusiast-level CPUs alongside their accompanying X299 motherboards offering up to three M.2 slots connected via PCIe. These slots enable compatibility with extremely fast NVMe SSDs as well as many other components offering high-end features. Skylake-X processors also offer an unlocked multiplier and are overclockable to provide even more gaming power! The Features of the Intel Core i9-7920X 12 physical cores, 24 logical cores thanks to SMT! 2,9 GHz base clock with a 140 Watt TDP 4,3 GHz boost clock & 4,4 GHz max boost Unlocked multiplier for manual overclocking Very high single- and multi-threaded performance 16,5 MB L3 Cache & 12 MB L2 Cache (10x 1 MB) Massive connectivity: 44 PCIe 3.0 Lanes DDR4-2.666 MHz RAM (Quad-Channel) Attention: Boxed version without CPU cooler! The Intel Core i9-7920X with 12 Cores in Detail The Intel Core i9-7920X offers an incredible 44 PCIe lanes for GPU connectivity as well as allowing NVME-SSDs direct access to the CPU and maintains a 2,9 GHz base clock. When required this CPU can activate all cores with Turbo Boost 2.0 and increase the frequency to a maximum 4,4 GHz. Thanks to the unlocked multiplier the Intel Core i9-7920X can also be overclocked even further. Sufficient cooling is important for overclocking since the TDP of the CPU reaches 140 Watts prior to overclocking. Intels Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) are instruction set extensions used in SIMD calculations (Single Instruction Multiple Data). SIMD enables a CPU to carry out multiple calculations simultaneously, doubling the AVX/AVX2 instruction set extensions b...
