The first benchmarks of Intel’s flagship Cascade Lake-X processor, the Core i9-10980XE have just been leaked. The processor which would feature the same core count as its predecessor, the Core i9-9980XE, seems to feature a good uplift in performance with faster clock speeds and also comes with aggressive prices.

We know that Intel is readying a new 10th Generation X-series lineup which would feature their Cascade Lake-X processors. The lineup leaked out yesterday, featuring the 10 core Core i9-10900X, 12 core Core i9-10920X, 14 core Core i9-10940X, and 18 core Core i9-10980XE SKUs. There might be more variants during the final launch but these are the ones that were unveiled in the leak.
