In the network appeared the first leaks about the processor Intel Core i9-9990VEHICLE. Features and tentative price cause great controversy.
New Intel Core X processors were presented for a long time, but only recently appeared on our market. Recently it became known, that the manufacturer is preparing another, special model ... at least, This is indicated by recent leaks.
We are talking about Core i9-9990XE, which will be characterized by 14 cores / threads 28 - their base frequency is 4,0 GHz, but in Turbo mode, it will grow to 5,0 GHz. Besides, processor will be 4 channel DDR4 memory controller and the controller 44 PCIe lanes 3.0.
Unfortunately, high clock frequency will affect the level indicator TDP, which will be at the level of 255 AT. This means, that high standards will be to the motherboard power supply.

*informal characteristics
On the one hand, experts say, that the upcoming model will be more productive than the Core i9-9940X, but on the other hand yield performance in the case of multi-threaded tasks 18-core model Core i9-9980XE. Actually around these issues, and there were disputes in the team InterTeam.
Another feature is the, the CPU is not available in retail sales, that is, it will be available only for partners, and it will be sold by auction. According to the same leakage, the first auction is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.
On the one hand the processor controversial and attracted the attention of many demanding customers. On the other hand the way its sale rather unconventional and requires reflection. If you are interested in the processor write about it in the comments, InterTeam team will be interested to hear the views of its readers. Thank you for it, that you contact.
