Intel Core i9-10980XE 18 Cores 36 Threads 4.8GHz R4 (LGA 2066) CD8069504381800 Desktop CPU

High-Performance HEDT Workstation CPU Platform featuring PCIe 3.0 Expansion with the Intel Core i9-10980XE

The Intel Core i9-10980XE (SKU: CD8069504381800) is a Cascade Lake-X 10th Gen Extreme Edition processor for the LGA2066/X299 ecosystem, designed for single-socket workstation and prosumer compute builds that need high core density without moving to a full server platform. With 18 cores and 36 threads, the Intel Core i9-10980XE supports sustained parallel throughput for compilation, simulation preprocessing, and interactive creation workloads while maintaining strong boost behavior for mixed single-thread and bursty tasks.

For memory architecture, the Intel Core i9-10980XE supports up to 256GB of DDR4-2933 and ECC capability, enabling stable large-project datasets and long-running jobs where data integrity matters. On the I/O side, the Intel Core i9-10980XE exposes up to 48 PCIe 3.0 lanes directly from the CPU, providing a practical foundation for multi-NVMe storage, high-speed NICs, and add-in accelerators in dense PCIe topologies. This makes it well suited to X299 systems optimized for expansion, scratch storage bandwidth, and predictable device mapping.

Why Choose the Intel Core i9-10980XE?

The Intel Core i9-10980XE provides a balanced density-to-performance profile for organizations standardizing on LGA2066 workstations or lab nodes where PCIe lane availability and thread count drive utilization. The Intel Core i9-10980XE also enables scalable configurations through flexible slot and NVMe planning, while remaining operationally straightforward for 1S deployments that prioritize reliability, serviceability, and consistent platform behavior.

Intel designs its workstation-class processors around validated platform interoperability, predictable firmware behavior, and long-lived ecosystem support, aligning with enterprise deployment standards for lifecycle management, controlled configuration, and stable compatibility across storage, networking, and peripheral expansion.
