Intel Core i7-7820X X-Series 11M Cache Up to 4.30 GHz 8 Core 16 Threads Processor

If you’re building a serious desktop for demanding work like video editing, 3D rendering, or heavy multitasking, this 8-core processor can handle a lot without slowing down. With 16 threads and speeds up to 4.3 GHz—or 4.5 GHz on the top cores—it gives you the power to push through intense tasks smoothly. It supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory, runs on a quad-channel setup, and offers 28 PCIe lanes, so you can run multiple GPUs or high-speed SSDs without a bottleneck. Just keep in mind it doesn’t come with a fan or heat sink, so you’ll need your own cooling setup. It's a strong pick for anyone who needs serious performance from a desktop build.
