The Core i9-9920X is a 12-core, 24-thread desktop processor for Intel's Socket 2066 X-series platform, launched in 2018 on 14 nm Skylake-X silicon. It runs at 3.5 GHz base with 4.4 GHz turbo, carries 19.25 MB of L3 cache and a 165 W TDP, and has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. It suits heavy multi-threaded work like rendering, encoding and virtual machines on a workstation board. Against newer mainstream chips it gives more cores and PCIe lanes but trails on per-core speed, power draw and platform cost, and it needs a large cooler and a pricey X299 board.
