by on10 December 2015


First deca-core on the market


Leaks from the Computex show are starting to appear with a Chinese site claiming that Chipzilla will be lifting the kimono on its 14nm Broadwell-e at the show.

According to Benchlife the new chip will be showing off up to 10 cores/20 threads.

This will be the first deca-core on the commercial market and it will use the same x99 motherboard. Here is the range that Benchlife found. There is no guarantees that it is more than a rumour, but it is fairly specific.
