General info
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
2.Has integrated graphics
✖Intel Core i9-9960X
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
6.OpenCL version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
7.number of transistors
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
8.Supports 64-bit
✔Intel Core i9-9960X
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
9.Price (global median value)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The global median price is determined by calculating the median value of all the prices available for a product, taking into account all markets.
Performance
1.CPU speed
16 x 3.1GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
3.turbo clock speed
4.4GHz
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
4.Has an unlocked multiplier
✖Intel Core i9-9960X
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
5.L2 cache
14MB
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
6.L3 cache
19.25MB
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
7.L1 cache
896KB
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
8.L2 core
1MB/core
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
9.L3 core
1.38MB/core
More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
Memory
1.RAM speed
2666MHz
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
2.maximum memory bandwidth
85.3GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
6.bus transfer rate
8GT/s
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
7.Supports ECC memory
✖Intel Core i9-9960X
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
8.eMMC version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
9.bus speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
