The Core i9-9820X X-Series 3.3 GHz Ten-Core LGA 2066 Processor from Intel has a base clock speed of 3.3 GHz and comes with features such as Intel Optane Memory support and Intel VT-d and VT-x virtualization technologies. This processor features a boost speed of up to 4.1 GHz, or up to 4.2 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology. Additionally, this processor features 10 cores with 20 threads in an LGA 2066 socket, has 16.5MB of cache memory, and supports up to 44 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Having 10 cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the 20 threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core. This processor also supports up to 128GB of quad-channel 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM and utilizes 9th-generation technology.
Graphically, the Core i9-9820X does not contain any integrated graphics, which means that users will need to purchase a compatible dedicated GPU of their choice. If you need even more performance, this processor is unlocked, which lets you overclock the processor over its maximum speed. However, this is not recommended, as it will void the limited 3-year warranty.
Please note that this processor does not include a heatsink or fan and requires a separately-sold CPU cooling solution.
