According to Ars Technica, etc. Among them, the top processor " i9-7980 XE " of 2,000 dollars is wonderful that you want to think about what you use for home use, 18 cores / 36 threads We boast of specs.

The i7 of the subordinate processor did not have any problem even when playing a game with high load. Unless it is a video production professional, it is a super high-end processor that surely carries out.

Nonetheless, it is a geek that always admires the strongest spec that you do not need and always wants the latest technology even if you know that it will become standard after several years.
