The Intel Processor CC150 was a desktop processor with 8 cores, launched in April 2019. It is part of the Intel Processor lineup, using the Coffee Lake Refresh architecture with Socket 1151. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 16 threads. Processor CC150 has 16 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz. Intel is building the Processor CC150 on a 14 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Processor CC150, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 95 W, the Processor CC150 consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2666 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Processor CC150 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Processor CC150, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
