Quote:Shortly after Geekbench results claiming to be from the Intel Core i9-10900X appeared, the unreleased Intel Core i9-10980XE entered Geekbench 4's database as well. The CPU, listed as having 18 cores and 36 threads is presumably the flagship SKU for Intel's line of Cascade Lake-X (CSL-X) processors, which will start shipping next month.

It's important to point out that the Core i9-9980XE system is running faster RAM than the Core i9-10980XE, which we've seen in the past can influence the score. Either way, the Core i9-10980XE lists a single-core score of 5,381, which is around 4% higher than the Core i9-9980XE's score. The performance difference is right along the lines of what we saw with the Geekbench results posted for the Core i9-10900X and Core i9-9900X.
We suspect the multi-core test results are incorrect. They claim the Core i9-10980XE is less than 1% faster than the Core i9-9980XE in multi-core workloads; however, the Core i9-10980XE was running faster than the Core i9-9980XE. Geekbench 4 reported the Core i9-9980XE as having a minimum frequency of 4,041 MHz and a maximum frequency of 4,460 MHz. Even with the difference in memory speeds, the Core i9-10980XE should put up a more respectable multi-core score.
