Reply to comment by Danjour in Intel’s new desktop processor reaches 6GHz without overclocking by disfigured_mishap

This is regularly checking single-core-only performance (multi-core boost is regularly lower than that. Multi-core is what is normally used under most loads nowadays), it is on intel's flagship "KS" processor so it will be extremely expensive, and the amount of power required for this is extremely inefficient in most cases.

It will still be fast, but it will be very difficult for a normal person to tell the difference between this inefficient monster and putting it in eco mode to save 20% of your power budget for something like 2% performance.

Most if not all processors from series 3 through 13 are multicore. The 13th Gen Intel Core I9 processor family advances performance hybrid architecture with up to 8 P-cores and up to 16 E-cores for a total of 24 cores.
