Product overview
Intel’s Core i9-7920X launched in Q3 2017 as part of the Core X‑series (Skylake‑X) for the LGA2066/X299 platform. It’s a 12‑core/24‑thread, 14 nm HEDT chip at 2.9 GHz base with up to 4.3 GHz Turbo (4.4 GHz via Turbo Boost Max 3.0), quad‑channel DDR4‑2666 support, and 44 PCIe 3.0 lanes. Intel lists it as discontinued.
Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it existed to deliver more cores and I/O than mainstream CPUs for creator workflows. It’s well‑suited to video editing, 3D rendering, streaming, and heavy multitasking; it requires an X299 motherboard and a discrete GPU (no integrated graphics). Unique note: unlocked multiplier for overclocking. Discontinuation was initiated in 2019, with final shipments by June 5, 2020.
