Intel 'Cascade Lake X' High-End Desktop CPU Platform Launched, Prices Up to 50 Percent Lower Than Last Gen gadgets.ndtv.com

Following a premature leak, Intel has released information about its upcoming Cascade Lake-X generation of high-end desktop (HEDT) processors. While these CPUs are not yet officially listed, Intel has published information about their pricing and specifications. The four models that have been revealed feature between 10 and 18 cores, and are based on a revision of the current Skylake-X HEDT platform. The most interesting change is that Intel has cut prices by up to 50 percent compared to the equivalent Skylake-X models. They will go on sale in November. The news comes just after AMD confirmed that its third-generation Threadripper CPU lineup, aimed at the same target market, will launch in November.
