Balanced performance in single- and multi-threaded workloads, Improved Turbo Boost frequencies,
Too expensive compared to the competition, High power consumption, Thermal output requires capable cooling solution
Intel's Core i9-9980XE offers flagship-class performance to a wide range of workloads thanks to 18 cores and aggressive Turbo Boost frequencies. You'll pay dearly for the privilege of owning one, though. Expect to budget extra for a high-end motherboard...
We will say it; the 9980XE is what the 7980XE should have been, and Intel should have never used PTIM (paste) instead of STIM (solder), as the resulting gains are impressive for no other significant changes.We are just happy Intel didn't raise the price o...

How Much Does it Cost?I have seen the prices of this CPU vary wildly from multiple retailers. However, the average seems to be around £2100, such as this one on Amazon at £2082.49. That's a freaking crapload of money, and I refuse to sugar coat that fact...

Massive all-round performance, A simple upgrade for anyone currently using the X299 platform, Excellent compatibility with a range of DDR4 memory, Supports AVX-512 instructions, Better thermals than i9-7980XE when you overclock
Offers minimal performance benefits over i9-7980XE, Pure CPU tests show the advantage of Threadripper 2990WX, Brutal power draw when you overclock to the maximum, Very expensive when compared with AMD Threadripper
Intel Core i9-9980XE Extreme Edition claims to be a 9th Generation CPU, however it is clearly a repackaged Core i9-7980XE with different voltage and speed curves that has been topped off with a soldered heat spreader. When we compare the two CPUs on Auto...
As well as topping several of our graphs despite being up against the best that AMD has to offer and offering small but tangible gains over the Core i9-7980XE, Intel still has that all-round great performance which many of AMD's CPUs still can't match, es...
Excellent IPC, Predictable performance, Strong in all areas, Slots into existing X299
Remains really expensive
It used to be the case that Intel's chief consumer processor automatically gained the title of fastest in the world. That is no more.AMD has raised the game with Ryzen Threadripper, upping the processing density to 32 cores and 64 threads, and it's in...
The most expensive HEDT chip on the market, More affordable CPUs tail closely in benchmarks
At the end of the day, the Core i9-9980XE is the undisputed champion of the HEDT processor world that puts Intel on top again. However, you should take a long, hard look at whether the best performance is worth paying $1,979 (about £1,520, AU$2,800) for.A...
Theres no denying the fact that when viewed in a vacuum the i9-9980XE is an extremely impressive CPU. Its preeminent place in the charts isnt by chance since the frequency increases from Intels previous generation pay some massive dividends in certain...
