New Intel Core i9-9990XE Sheds Cores in Favor of High Clock Speeds, Benchmarked

[Vya Domus]

700mm sqaured dies and most can hit 4.5+ghz

Of which around 350 mm^2 is active and no it's not impressive at all, the TDP is eye watering. Everyone can clock a chip to hell.

Just overclock the 9980XE... Oc to oc this will be slower... I guess it's for stock comparison but still...

Yes but 9980XE with 8 more threads at , like 4.6-4.8 GHz will still be faster in multicore workloads than this at 5 Ghz all core, can it even reach that though? I just dont see the point.

Some won't use all the cores and prefer the higher bin/speeds.

At the mainstream level, I will take higher clocks over more than 8c/16t any day of the week.

Everyone can clock a chip to hell.

Not everyone has the balls to cover that with a warranty though

Forget computing, that can warm my house throughout the winter.
