Apart from that, all of them also support Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology that helps the new processors to deliver optimal performance for both lightly and heavily threaded applications.
The 9th Gen Intel Core X-series has a total of 7 new processors for consumers to choose from, as shown below:
These new Intel Core X-series processors will be available to consumers throughout the world starting from this November onwards.
