Intel Core i9-9900K, i7-9700K, i5-9600K specifications exposed (updated)
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 ).
The processors all will be a series 9000 model and based on Coffee Lake architecture. Asia based website coolaler now adds some juicy details to these processors. We're looking at only mild tweaks.
- The Core i9-9900K is an 8-core 16 thread with a base clock of 3.6GHz, a Boost of up to 5GHz, a cache memory of 16MB, a TDP of 95W, and an 8-core maximum acceleration clock of 4.7GHz.
- The Core i7-9700K is an 8-core 8 thread. It does not support HT. The base clock is 3.6GHz, Boost is up to 4.9GHz, the cache memory is 12MB, TDP 95W, and the 8-core maximum acceleration clock can reach 4.6GHz.
- Core i5-9600K is a 6-core 6 thread, with the same base clock as 3.7GHz, Boost up to 4.6GHz, cache memory of 9MB, TDP 95W, and 6 core maximum acceleration clocks up to 4.3GHz.
The Core i9-9900K (if it's really named like that) of course would be the premium 8-core part, released to battle AMD with their 8-core Ryzen processors, in specific the ZEN+ Ryzen 2700X. Though I still have a gut feeling that AMD is hiding a 2800X for release to compete with the Core i9-9900K (but perhaps that's wishful thinking). That 9700K was expected to be a 6-core part, but now looks to be an 8-core one, however lacking Hyperthreading. Intel is expected to launch these chips later at the end of Q3 2018.
Update: screenshot added with SiSift Sandra entry showing 9700K with 8 threads (no HT)

Over at Computex last week, Intel announced the anniversary edition Core i7-8086K, which they kind of did silently. Probably there was a good reason for that. The processor is advertised as 5 GHz pr...

@HWgeek Blah blah as much as you want. Intel is sitting on throne, whether you ROFLing or not. War cries will not give you any victories.

Yeah, Frightening change of having 50% more cores
well, now it will be Frightening change by having 33% more cores.
Secondly, Since Ryzen release it is intel who is in reactive mode. It is AMD who's following their own roadmap.
@Fox2232 Whenever you like it or not If differences between 9900K and 8700K are like 8700K vs 7700K we are talking for frightening power inbound. AMD is still weak to react. Everything else mentioned is blabbing.

Godlike IPC? Are you on intel's drugs? Last time I checked IPC of intel and AMD chips are practically same.
Only intel started to call it "instructions per core" which makes no sense as there is no time unit in name anymore.
Or do you expect them to improve IPC drastically, and prove that they intentionally held IPC back while having improvements ready for years?
And fun fact... "Well done Intel." Congratulating before fact? Reminds me of all those racers who lost their races on last meters due to them celebrating early.
Per clock there is not much difference, but Intel can run @ ~1Ghz faster core and ~Ghz faster memory. This makes the big difference. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Oh that 9900K looks juicy sweet. Maybe finally I'll upgrade my aging 5820K.

So much fail in these posts, spoken like a true diehard fanboy.
That 9700K will be the new gaming king. It will obliterate 8086k and 2700x in all aspects. 8/8 with strong clocks and godlike IPC is more than enough before 2020. Well done Intel.

Hardly a war with 8 cores. Not to mention how much it will cost.
Still could be interesting as a "highest end gaming CPU"

Yes, you are right there. But that's what Warlord does not get. He considers intel's future chips as holy grail. But in meanwhile intel is losing that clock advantage. We will see what clocks intel can have on 8C/16T under full load even with solder.
And then we will see Zen2 around same time. There AMD is likely to gain 5~10% IPC as they promised since Zen/Zen+ is new architecture with a lot of low hanging fruits. And we can expect 8C/16T max auto clock moving from 4.0GHz to 4.4GHz while max auto clock from 4.35GHz to 4.8GHz. Basically making AMD's solution equal to intel's in performance while AMD is likely going to keep prices as they have them now.
That's price where AMD's 8C/16T costs about same as intel's 6C12T.
Please note that I do not call intel's chip bad, they are good by all means. But AMD is good option in almost entire price spectrum. AMD just does not have Zen in lowest part of spectrum. And AMD is definitely better value in HEDT spectrum. (With budget for intel system, you can get 1.5x performance from AMD's side. Or get same while clocking it so low that it becomes extremely power efficient.)
Which brings us to main AMD's disadvantage with current Zen. That's pretty poor power efficiency at last 100~200MHz they can reach easily.
IIRC: In my tests 8C/16T @4.25GHz easily reached 200W+. While 4.15GHz kept under 150W. And 4GHz under 100W. 3.8GHz under 65W. If Zen2 on 7nm gains additional power efficiency...

I think it's misleading to show "5GHz" when it's only for 1 core.

Be warned, I have 2400G too. I intentionally limit it to 3.6GHz. It is excellent system in tiny box.
Go enthusiastically with same box on intel's side. I wonder if you can get higher CPU and iGPU performance while keeping it as cool.

Thanks for the clarification (AMD also does it) but still very confusing to say the least.
