If you are a PC player, the following message is not so friendly, Twitter user Francois Piednoel broke the news, Intel's Extreme Editon (Extreme Edition) processor brand will be cut off.
The Extreme Edition is mostly used on the top models of the HEDT platform, such as the i9-7980XE Extreme Edition processor, the i7-6950X processor Extreme Edition, the i7-5960X Processor Extreme Edition, the i7-4960X Processor Extreme Edition, etc. The earliest can be traced back to the 2005 Pentium 840 processor Extreme Edition, 90nm process.
The Intel Extreme Edition CPU fame started when the "Crysis" was released, and the Core 2 Extreme Edition became famous.
The special status of this Francois Piednoel net friend is that He is a former Intel Principal Engineer responsible for performance and system architecture work.
For Intel to make such a decision, Francois thinks it is a mistake. But the specific reason is unknown, it seems that most of it will be related to marketing strategy.
One detail is that the overseas i9-7980XE processor is in black box, the product name is Core i9 Extreme Edition Processor, and the national bank is black and purple color packaging, named Core i9 X series processor.
