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 (!).

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 )....

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...

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.

Lmao you're comparing a 16/32 800€ processor to a 8/16 400/450€. Hopefully you're not serious.

I agree Zen 2 is something worth thinking about but what it will bring is purely speculation this far out. The advantage that Zen 2 will probably have over a 9900K will be in the name of efficiency IMO. As long as this 9900K clocks high enough zen 2 will have its work cut out for it and it won't come for another 8 months or so at best after 9900K launch. Determining what you need at the time is really all you can look at. What happens when Zen 2 comes out you wait because Intel will respond with something? I don't expect Zen 2 to extinct a 9900K but merely offer more efficiency and value. Unless AMD plays the add cores game again lol. That would only do so much though. I think AMD will remain a value leader for people that core count matters to.

@3.1 GHz and kick 2700x butt bad! ...is that what I just read? ....good lawd amd need to tighten up!

So 8 core 16 thread Intel versus 8 core 16 thread AMD and guess what the Intel wins core for core, thread for thread, nothing new, move along...C'mon be serouse for a minute, I'm no AMD or Intel fan just someone who wants great CPU's that are affordable regardless of who manufactures them..We are in a great time for CPU's (long may it continue) but to rubbish a CPU...just becouse it's Intel is just plain crazy...And the argument that Intel did nothing for 5 years is becouse AMD had nothing to compete with...Not Intel's fault rarther waiting for compition which has finally arrived..Great times ahead for us the consumers...If the 9900K is anything near what has been seen, it will be one hell of a CPU at 5GHz...

Hi Hilbert ,
why u said thaht ?
I really hope it s not true , and of course , we can overclock this i9 9900k on actual Z370 motherboard.

Likely for overclocking and tweaking, you will need Z390 with an improved power delivery.

More wattage for CPU need better vrms and quality materials plus improved power delivery through the circuits, I am sure it should be prohibited for older mobos.

See what happens when Intel has competition? Finally they got their ass in gear instead of coming out with measly 5-10% gains.

I agree with you , but I still hope that with very good motherboard Z370 (like Asus Maximux X , gigabyte Aorus etc etc..) it wont be a problem.
