Cores6 P-cores and 8 E-cores; 20 threads. ComputerBase identifies its tested sample as C0 Alder Lake silicon within the marketed Raptor Lake Refresh generation.Cascade Lake; 18 cores with Hyper-Threading. The unlocked multiplier is confirmed by Intel’s exact-model family product brief.
ClocksP-cores: 2.6 GHz base, up to 5.0 GHz turbo. E-cores: 1.9 GHz base, up to 3.7 GHz turbo.Turbo Boost Max 3.0 up to 4.80 GHz on the preferred core; ordinary Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 4.60 GHz. The main boost field uses Intel’s highest published frequency. Intel targeted November 2019 availability. Scan’s dated 26 November guide confirms that this exact processor was available to purchase; the exact maker-confirmed first-sale day remains unverified, so month precision is retained.
