Intel i9 superfast computer processor, specs features and everything you should know

Intel i9 superfast computer processor, specs features and everything you should know
Intel has launched a new Core i9 range of processors for PC. The Core i9 family consists of what’s known as the Skylake-X architecture, with processors that include 10, 12, 14, and 16 cores.
For some reason, Intel decided that the 8-core and 6-core Skylake-X chips aren’t worthy enough, so they carry the Core i7 name. They share some common architectural features with the “true” Core i9 chips, though, so we’ve included them. The same goes for a second family of chips, known as Kaby Lake-X—basically the same seventh-generation CPUs you’ve seen on laptops and desktops for more than a year, but that also connect to the same X299 chipset as the Skylake-X chips do. The two Kaby Lake-X chips will be quad-core only parts.
Core i9 Extreme Edition:
  • Core i9-7980XE: (2.6GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 18 cores/36 threads, $1,999
Core i9:
  • Core i9-7960X: (2.8GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 16 cores/32 threads, $1,699
  • Core i9-7940X: (3.1GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 14 cores/28 threads, $1,399
  • Core i9-7920X: (3.1GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 12 cores/24 threads, $1,199
  • Core i9-7900X: (3.3GHz, 4.5GHz burst) 10 cores/20 threads, $999

What’s New in i9?

the i9 series is boosting the total core and thread count over all of Intel’s previous consumer-grade processors. The introductory i9-7900X has 10 cores and 20 threads (the same as the previous flagships), with the bigger and better upgrades in the i9-7920X, i9-7940X, i9-7960X, and i9-7980XE processors offering 12, 14, 16, and 18 cores, respectively. At the top end, that should result in a massive boost in both pure processor speed and multi-tasking ability.
The i9 series also supports quad-channel DDR4 memory at speeds of up to 2666mHz, considerably faster than the previous Core i7 chips…and the more expensive models coming later this year might do even better. Ditto for the expansion-friendly PCI Express lanes, up to 44 or more from a previous 16. The i9-7900X uses a base clock of 3.3GHz with Intel’s Turbo Boost 3.0 bumping it up to 4.5GHz under ideal conditions—and that’s before any kind of end-user overclocking, which is encouraged thanks to the X-series’ unlocked status.

5 Andriod apps you shouldn't miss this week!- Andriod Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 211th edition of Android Apps Weekly! Here are the headlines from the last week: Google decided to not play nice  with the new Amazon Echo Show. They pulled YouTube support earlier this week. Google allegedly gave no warning or notification. Google’s return statement indicated that Amazon’s implementation didn’t adhere to the terms of service. In short, the two companies are in a bit of a disagreement. We imagine it won’t take long to resolve. Mozilla Firefox is about to get a lot better  on Android. A bunch of things are changing when version 58 hits the Google Play Store. That includes a faster browsing experience, less RAM usage, a visual redesign, and more. The desktop version is getting a similar makeover.  The company is also killing off  Adobe Flash support in version 56. Twitter is about to double  the tweet character limit from 140 to 280. That means people can be awful to each other twice as much with half of the effort! Seriou...

Reliance Jio voice calls limited to 300 minutes per day? Here’s the reason why

Reliance Jio voice calls limited to 300 minutes per day? Here’s the reason why Reliance Jio is limiting the number of minutes in voice calls to 300 minutes per day, according to some reports. Jio says the reason for this limit is to avoid potential misuse. This 300 minutes per day has been part of the Jio terms and conditions for some time now. Users would have noticed that Reliance Jio recharge vouchers come with the promise of unlimited voice calls be it local or STD. However, the limit stands at 300 minutes per day for voice calls but only in case of misuse, and this does not include international calls for which users have to purchase separate vouchers. In fact in Jio’s terms and conditions for its recharge plans, the company adds, “ This Plan is intended only for personal use of included services. RJIL reserves the right to discontinue the free Voice benefits offered as part of this Plan in case of misuse/ fraudulent use/ unauthorised telemarketing and comm...

Android 8.0 update: when will you get it?

Android 8.0 update: when will you get it? The Android 8.0 Oreo update brings the next major version of Android to our devices, starting with Google’s own Pixel and Nexus devices. As always we can expect it to take anywhere from a couple of months to more than half a year to appear on phones by the likes of HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, and Motorola. How soon your phone will get the update depends on a variety of factors: your phone manufacturer’s update track record, how new (and expensive) your phone is, whether your phone is unlocked or carrier-branded, your region, and so on. But, given past performance, we can draw some fairly accurate predictions of when you can expect to get the Android Oreo update on your phone. What follows is broken down into Android OEMs, based on how fast they got both Nougat and Marshmallow out, so just jump to the relevant section to see when the first Android 8.0 update should hit that company’s devices. (Note: As OEMs publicly...
