Intel has said that its next-generation Core-X processors, 'Cascade Lake-X', will offer better performance per dollar compared to AMD's Ryzen Threadripper CPUs. The comparisons were shared by Intel during the IFA and reveals that its next-generation high-end desktop CPUs could be priced aggressively against the second-generation Threadripper CPUs currently on the market, although AMD is already in the anteroom. of the third generation.

Intel Trusts Core-X Price / Performance Value Over Threadripper

We know that Intel is manufacturing new Core-X processors that will be part of its Cascade Lake-X line. The new processors will be compatible with existing and updated LGA 2066 motherboards as the only change they can offer are more PCIe tracks and higher clocks, while also building on the 14nm ++ process node.

In the slide shared by Intel confirming that the processors will be available in the next month, it is stated that Core-X processors (Cascade Lake-X) offer much better performance for $ (Dollar) compared to their Skylake-X processors. and AMD Ryzen Threadripper. Intel has taken Skylake-X as a base, and by comparison, Cascade Lake-X processors will offer 1.74 to 2.09 times better performance per dollar. This is also better than the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32-core processors, the Threadripper 2970WX 24-core and the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-core.

Intel has not indicated what performance metrics they are using to compare these processors, but it could be one of their "real use" tests, which recently sparked a highly controversial debate, as Intel basically said that the tools used in analytics they do not represent the 'real world'.

Intel is considering some massive price updates with its upcoming lineup, which is the only reason we're looking for higher performance per dollar, as Intel appears to be reaching the limit in terms of clock speeds on its 14nm-made chips. The 18-core flagship, the Core i9-9980XE, currently costs $ 2, 000 compared to the 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX that costs $ 1, 800.

Naturally, the third generation Threadrippers are missing here which should arrive before the end of the year, and which could do great damage to Cascade Lake-X. We will keep you informed.
