The Intel Core i9-10940X 14-Core 3.3GHz has 14 cores that run at a clock speed of 3.3GHz.
It has an L3 cache size of 19.25MB.
| Cores | 14 | More cores means more threads and therefore more processes can be run simultaneously | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | 3.3GHz | Clock frequency indicates processor speed, but is only reliable in comparisons between CPUs of the same family | |
| Codename | Cascade Lake-X | The code name given by the manufacturers | |
| Release Date | 30 Nov 2019 | The more recent the release, the more likely the CPU will receive up-to-date manufacturer support | |
| TDP | 165W | The lower the TDP, the less power the CPU requires to run and thus the more efficient it is and the less heat it creates | |
| L3 Cache | 19.25MB | The L3 cache is the largest CPU cache, but still provides very quick access to data | |
| Lithography | 14nm | The smaller the lithographic technology used, the less power is required to run the CPU, and the less heat is created during intense use | |
| CPU Socket | Socket 2066 | The motherboard socket and CPU socket should match to indicate the CPU is compatible with the motherboard and will fit into it | |
| Unlocked Multiplier | no | An unlocked clock multiplier means you can adjust the multiplier for an overclocking speed boost |
The CPU is under a year old, meaning it should be based on recent technologies and manufacturer support should almost certainly still be available.
Created with lithographic technology sized at 14 nanometers, the Core i9-10940X 14-Core 3.3GHz is built for extreme speeds and efficiency, although with a Thermal Design Power of 165W it requires a huge amount of power to run, and will inevitably create a lot of excess heat.
