Intel Announces Core i9 9900K Processor
During a live stream intel, today announced a Coffee lake-S refresh processor. Coffee Lake started as 8th gen six-core processors and now this is expanding towards eight-core processors. They have a TDP at 95W.
While not mandatory, the Z390 chipset based motherboards are recommended for the 8-core parts. The Coffee Lake 9000 are also based on a 14nm fabrication node, now with desktop in a 6-core and 8-core models. The Coffee Lake series processors are a refresh of the existing architecture and as such, the core basis is the same (as well as IPC). If we look back a little further, Coffee Lake-S shares design elements found in the Kaby lake and Skylake architecture, but now scaled upwards to 8-cores. The processor series is fabbed at 14nm.
- 9900K - 8c/16t has 16MB L3
In the initial release, you will see three primary procs, but that does not mean you'll only see a couple of processors in the Core 9000 range, word out on the street is that models like 9100, 9400 and 9500 Core series processors will be released as well. Next week the performance reviews on the newly announced products will go live. The presentation was a bit confusing for the Core 9000 series, Intel only talked about the Core i9 9900K, and nothing else. We'll add what we think we know.
| Core i9-9900K | Core i7-9700K | Core i5-9600K | |
| Cores / Threads | 8/16 | 8/8 | 6/6 |
| Speed | 3.6GHz | 3.6GHz | 3.7GHz |
| Maximum turbo | 5GHz | 4.9 GHz | 4.6 GHz |
| L2 cache per core | 256KB | 256KB | 256KB |
| L3 cache | 16MB | 12MB | 9MB |
| Memory channels | Dual-channel | Dual-channel | Dual-channel |
| Tdp | 95W | 95W | 95W |

I wish the 9900k was 500 Euros, here it's a low low price of 599.99 POUNDS, which atm is 683 euros... Yeah i wish it was 500 euros here XD
PC parts are just getting a bit intense, RAM, CPU, GPU prices have sky rocketed in the past few years, think only a few parts have actually stayed down...
Like others have already said the price of the 9900K is insane!!! 500€ for a mainstream CPU is just too much!!! The other parts should also be a little cheaper but they are somehow acceptable.

As far as I'm concerned, the 9900K is a HEDT product. I'm still waiting for Intel to release a mainstream 8c/16t processor.

I bet this will be another paper launch just like the 8000 series were especially with the 14nm production problems that Intel are currently experiencing. Expecting much higher MSRP prices until actual availability in February. Hope I am wrong.

What a slap to the face of customers. They remove hyper threading from the i7, and then offer an i9 with hyper threading at 200 bucks more than it should cost. AMD is going to gain so much more market share with 7nm. It is awesome to see competition back once again in the CPU market.

i9 9900K and RTX 2080 Ti is an excellent combo for the discerning customer who is not in the habit of bargaining, counting coins, or engaging in any other lowbrow activities.

This is how it was just 10 years ago. 4-core Yorkfield was $530. Intel lowered mainstream prices to $350 without even competition.

Good thing I'm not in a rush to upgrade my CPU. 6600k at 4.6ghz is still keeping a solid 60fps at 4k.

SLI isn't the only reason for more CPU lanes, far from it. If you have even one pcie M.2 drive on a non-HEDT motherboard then you've just bottlenecked your m.2 drive.
sli being pretty much dead we don't care about cpu lanes as much

Intel still living in dream land or something? I like Intel but it seem like they still acting like there the only CPU worth damn and still string to peddle those super premium prices, I also not sure I buy the 95 TDP if that is actual true then I could possible see it worth price diffrence vs AMD but even then.
Does the perfomance back the price up vs AMD and it new Ryzen's?

The troll Intel comment had me rolling ... am curious though if Intel is working on any update to their Hyperthreading - I'm aware the Core i9-9900K has their long-standing scheme of it. HT & TLBleed
