Description
Compatible with their X299 chipset-based motherboards, the Core i9-10940X 3.3 GHz 14-Core LGA 2066 Processor from Intel has a base clock speed of 3.3 GHz and comes with features such as Intel Optane Memory and SSD support, Intel Device Protection with Boot Guard, Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d), Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), and AES-NI. With Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, the maximum turbo frequency this processor can achieve is 4.6 GHz, and with Intel Turbo Boost 3.0 technology, it can further be boosted to 4.8 GHz. Additionally, this processor features 14 cores with 28 threads in an LGA 2066 socket, has 19.25MB of cache memory, and 48 PCIe lanes. Having 14 cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the 28 threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core. This processor also supports up to 256GB of 2933 MHz DDR4 memory.
Intel did not design this processor with an integrated graphics chipset, meaning that users will need to purchase a compatible and dedicated graphics card of their choice. If you need even more performance, this processor is unlocked, which lets you overclock the processor over its maximum speed. However, this is not recommended, as it will void the limited 3-year warranty.
Please note that a CPU cooler is not included and must be purchased separately.

I wanted the 10980XE but it was not available. This was the next best thing and will do me until the rumoured 10990XE comes out. This processor works great.

Able to overclock to 4.9ghz with 1.290vcore, very stable. Great single threaded performance for gaming, matches 9900k at 5.0ghz. Amazing multi-threaded performance for my use with blender. Runs very hot. Peak temps were 89C with Evga 360mm CLC and Noctua NF A12x25 while running blender bmw stress test.

This processor is part of my dream DYI build and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Video processing with Premiere is a dream come true. No more buffering while editing, rendering video takes a fraction of the time it used to. I can now concentrate on making great content and not be hampered in any fashion by the speed of my computing equipment. Count me as a very happy camper.

I updated my 4 year old computer to an Asus Rampage VI Encore motherboard. I ran my old system overclocked to 4 GHz. The new system came overclocked at 4.8 GHz and ran acceptably cool. I am over cautious and reduced the speed to 4.0 GHz. Other then some minor (but annoying) problems, it worked right out of the box. Having WiFi ax speeds up data transfers to my laptop, whixh also has a generation X processor.
