According to an NDA leak by Wccftech.com, the upcoming Broadwell-E processor line-up may be very interesting for enthusiast who enjoy the benefits of a large amount of CPU cores and high clock frequencies. The leaked Intel slides contain details on a 10-core Core i7 6950X processor, which means that after the first consumer grade 8-core processor last August, we will now get the first 10-core processor too!.

The Core i7 6950X is slated for a based frequency of 3GHz, which is the same like the Core i7 5960X Haswell-E flagship. In addition to the attractive 10-core, Intel will also launch the Core i7 6900K with 8 cores at 3.3GHz, the Core i7 6850K with 6 cores at 3.6GHz, and the Core i7 6800K with 6 cores at 3.4GHz. From the looks of it, Intel wants the enthusiasts to move from the mainstream Z170 + quad-core to the more high-end X99 + 6-to-10 core platform. Pricing are not available yet, but all things considered this looks like a great solution for people who bought into X99 with the Core i7 5820K and now have an upgrade path all the way up to 10 cores.
