Intel Core X-Series Specs Revealed?

Earlier today, VideoCardz unveiled a document listing the full specifications for Intel’s Core X CPU range. While VideoCardz cannot verify the authenticity of the document, it is confident that the numbers line up with what its hearing. According to the image, the seven Skylake-X processors (three already released) fail to stack up against AMD Threadripper, at least as far as price is concerned. Details follow.
