Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Skylake-X; 6 cores with Hyper-Threading. The unlocked multiplier is confirmed by Intel’s exact-model family product brief.
Clocks
Clocks	CPU multiplier locked (Intel support). Current Intel specifications list 110 W maximum turbo power; the January 2023 maker launch table and Tom's Hardware list 89 W. ComputerBase also reports 110 W.	Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 4.00 GHz. Intel’s September press-kit record names 26 June 2017 availability for the first Core X processors; its August record confirms the four- to ten-core models were already on shelves. The exact model’s first-sale day was not established, so month precision is retained.
