Intel Core i9 9900K benchmark leaks: Roughly 25% faster than i7 8700K
Intel is set to release their Core i9 9900K late August or September, the new mainstream 9th generation flagship model has appeared in 3DMark, with specs and a score and everything.
The eight-core CPU scores 10718 points in the Time Spy CPU test. When you isolate and compare that number a bit back and forth, you can compare it compare with say a Ryzen 2700X, which is at 9147 points, Intel's Core i7 8700K scores an average of 7918 (all at defaults). That's 25% more cores, and 25% more CPU performance.
As expected the chip shows 8 cores with 16 threads. Interesting, however, is a listed base-clock of 3.1 GHz (which seems quite low) and that also contradicts with an earlier leak this week indicating a 3.6 GHz base clock. So likely that is an engineering sample. The benchmark was run on a Z370 motherboard from Asus, again indicating that it can be possible to use current Z370 motherboards. Likely for overclocking and tweaking, you will need Z390 with an improved power delivery. I've placed the result set into our own chart, please understand that the result thus is based on the leaked entry, we obviously cannot vouch for it, but the result set seems in a line of expectancy.
Mind you that the Time Spy CPU is limited, hence it's so close to many core solutions like Threadripper. The Time Spy CPU test does not scale well on processors with 10 or more threads (!).
Intel Core i9-9900K, i7-9700K, i5-9600K specifications exposed (updated) - 07/25/2018 04:49 PM
A little while ago we reported that Intel is to release three new three CPU SKUs. An 8-core, 16-thread CPU (Core i9 9900K); a 6c/12t one (Core i7 9700K) and a 6c/6t part (Core i5 9600K )....
Shuttle now offers XPC Cube for 8th Gen Intel Core Processors - 07/12/2018 10:54 AM
The XPC cubes are the first models in the Shuttle range to benefit from the generation leap forward to Intel's latest processor models with a 14nm architecture (Coffee Lake). The SH370R6, which is de...
Intel Core Series 9000 Specifications published - merely 100 and 200 MHz speed bumps - 07/04/2018 08:30 AM
Yesterday we reported that Intel to be releasing Coffee lake based six and eight-core part in the 9000 series with processors like the Core i5-9600(K). We can advance a bit more on that as the specif...
Intel Coffee lake Core i9 9900K and other product names leaked? - 06/27/2018 10:03 PM
So much speculation on the Z390 chipset and the 8-core processors that go along with it, the news kind of gets lost in space eh? We talked Z390 for quite a while now. We know it's paired with at l...
Intel confirms it will release their first high-end GPU in 2020 - 06/12/2018 09:18 PM
Pretty much as expected, Intel is working on a dedicated GPU that Intel which is now confirmed to be released in 2020. Intels first real GPU likely will end up as graphics accelerator for artificia...

Its 33% more cores then 8700K...and scored should be higher since the leaks suggested 4.7Ghz all core boost, Lets see how the thermals gonna be ;-).

What is wrong with just adding cores? Intel already has a good architecture. Personally my concern is what will the 9900K cost. I think it needs to be about $400 tops to really be competitive. Knowing Intel it might run something like $450. As long as this chip launches as an 8700K with 8 cores and 16 threads, as in same clocks and "overclockability" it will be a beast. The solidered IHS rumors need to hold true too. People bitched when 8700K was just more cores over the 7700K but what is wrong with that when you have a CPU that gained 50% in cores and commonly OCs to 4.9-5.2 Ghz? If the 9900K hits same 4.9-5.2Ghz overclocked it will stand in an 8 core league of its own. We knew Intel wasn't launching a new architecture just yet...
So we are talking about a more finely-precisely tuned/oc'ed 8700k with more cores/threads, nothing ground breaking or new gen. The old thing but squeezing out more of it.

I agree with you. But Zen 2 is also closing in. I cannot justify a long life in intel's 9 series. They are gonna get EOL soon enough. That is the interesting part, I expected more from this new line up.

I think performance here is a little bit lower than what we will actually see but as mentioned it showed lower clocks than expected. This CPU really needs to hit that 4.7Ghz all core as rumored and hopefully hits 5Ghz or so all core OCs. Temps shouldn't be too big of an issue as long as the IHS is soldiered as several sources have stated. Will be interesting to see how this all turns out.
