Specification context
The Intel Core i9-10920X @ 3.50GHz is a Desktop released in 2019. Recorded specifications include 12 cores and 24 threads, up to 4.80 GHz turbo, a 165 W reference TDP, a 25,720 CPU Mark. Use these figures to understand its position, then compare the results with your software and the complete platform.
The 25,720 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 2,702 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.
It uses socket LGA2066. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.
The 165 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.
FAQ
The currently recorded result is 25,720 CPU Mark, with 2,702 points in the single-thread test. Results can move as the benchmark database is updated.
The recorded release year is 2019. Use the platform, socket and memory generation—not the year alone—to judge the remaining upgrade path.
The main recorded details are 12 cores and 24 threads, up to 4.80 GHz turbo, a 165 W reference TDP, a 25,720 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.
The product name or CPU Mark alone cannot answer that. Check single-thread performance, core count, the target graphics card, gaming resolution and results from the games you play.
Start with LGA2066 motherboards, then confirm the official CPU-support list and required BIOS revision for the exact board before buying.
The recorded reference TDP is 165 W. Real consumption can be lower or higher depending on power limits, motherboard, workload and cooling.
This guidance interprets recorded specifications and results; it does not claim hands-on device testing. Results can vary with motherboard, power, memory and cooling.
