Intel's massive 18-core Core i9 chip

I don't expect the new Skylake-X can do the same clock as Threadripper 1998. Otherwise Intel would disclose those clock already.

The rumor mill says turbo 3.0 to 4.5GHz for the 10 core version. This is around 10% higher than the 8 core Ryzen.

I think it's a reasonable guess to say that the 18 core version of i9 will clock ~10% higher than the 16 core threadripper. I could be wrong, maybe the extended turbo won't end up very different and both will be around 4.1ish GHz.
