Intel® Core™ i9-10920X X-series

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series is a desktop processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Oct 2019. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 19.25-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 256 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA2066 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 165 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series scores 2,705 in single-core performance and 25,720 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,341 for overall performance, 20,505 for productivity performance, 19,015 for creator performance, 27,970 for engineering performance and 14,545 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,143 per core, 1,072 per thread and 156 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 649. Its performance index is 103, so its overall performance is 3% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i9-10920X X-series scores 93,738 in integer math, 58,162 in floating-point math, 401,626 in compression, 9,389 in cryptography, 1,408 in physics simulation, 30,728 in vector SIMD, 93 in the prime sieve and 50,855 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 59% above in integer math, 27% above in floating-point math, 76% above in compression, 18% below in cryptography, 29% above in physics simulation, 98% above in vector SIMD, 39% above in the prime sieve and 125% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series has 12 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i9 family, uses the Cascade Lake architecture, carries the codename Cascade Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Oct 2019.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series has 768 KB of L1 cache, 12 MB of L2 cache and 19.3 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 32.0 MB of cache, or 2.67 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 768 KB, L2 at 12 MB and L3 at 19.3 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 60% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 256 GB of memory and uses 4 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series uses the FCLGA2066 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i9-10920X X-series has a rated TDP of 165 W.
