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)
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...
Intel Core i7-8086K CPU Turbo bins are Close To Similar to 8700K - 06/11/2018 05:20 PM
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...

If they will solder the 9X00 series that will prove us that the main reason not soldering until now was $$$$$, not good sign for their loyal customers.
P.S- I am sure that the 9900K buyers will be very sad to see the Zen2 few month after they got 9900K
.
Intel hated 2500K/2600K. They underestimated OC capability and lifespan. And in return it did cost them sales for many generations.
I mean, Almost all of them did comfortably 4.4GHz on all cores, many did 4.6GHz, and few reached even 4.9GHz.
Today, it is 4,7/5.0/5.2GHz without solder. Main improvement intel did over years was better IMC.
Today, Solder will not cause some magical 6GHz OC. Not even 5,5GHz. It will allow those more power hungry chips to stay cool.
And no doubt that intel's 8C/16T will be stronger than AMD's current 8C/16T (mainly due to clock difference), but for what price difference?
Then you are right again that Zen 2 which will catch up with clock, probably will win on IPC metric and will be better even at power efficiency... Probably will win on performance to price ratio too.
I think intel understands this. And they will decrease pricing a bit upon release of 9x00 chips to make quick revenue before Zen2 comes kicking butts.

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.

There's no doubt in my mind it will be priced higher than the current 8700K part, enough maybe to raise some eyebrows...we have to pay for those extra cores and the 14+++ Whiskey Lake silicon. Must say I'm very keen to see the benchmark numbers. Only question is, will it be soldered or will they use cottage cheese?

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.

P.S2: considering such high clock rate with 8 core- Intel going to cannibalizing their HEDT even the Core i9 7900X!(not to mention the i7 7820X LOL).
as we all know many software like high core clocks vs core count (Adobe etc...).
ROFL- AMD messed up all Intel's product line!.
