Intel Core Series 9000 Specifications published - merely 100 and 200 MHz speed bumps
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 specification leaked as well, the procs are a respin of the current ones, with 100 to 200 MHz clock frequency increases.
Intel will house the new procs shared over the Core i5 (6-core) and Core i7 (8-core)line. The processors all will be a series 9000 model and based on Coffee Lake architecture. Intel now shows specifications of the mentioned processors, Hardware info spotted and the 9000 series CPU's are clocked approximately 100 to 200MHz higher than their 8000 series counterparts. A microcode update guidance file reveals Coffee Lake S series featuring whats listed as six and four core configurations, the models listed are:
- Core i5-9600(K)
- Core i5-9500(T)
- Core i3-9100
- Core i3-9000
That means it's confirmed that Intel will be using 8th gen processors in the 9000 lineups.

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...
Intel Core i7-8086K anniversary edition CPU gets listed at retailers (updated) - 05/31/2018 07:47 AM
And yes, it surfaces again. Remember that nostalgic sounding 8086 processor rumor we reported a while ago? Intel could be planning a special processor to be released with the 40th anniversary of the...
Unannounced Intel Core i7 8086K Spotted - 04/15/2018 05:38 PM
Yes, you read that right, an 8086 processor. So then, Intel might be planning a special processor to be released with the 40th anniversary of the 8086 processor?...

The sad truth is that without Ryzen- i7 8700K could be 7700K with same 100~200 Mhz boost with new MB and chipset...
But most of the "Gamers" don't remember this, and for the 5% @720P~1080P performance boost they choose to pay to Intel Again- instead Helping AMD to keep the competition.
I get it when AMD had only FX 83XX and performace difference was massive, but now when the gap is less then 5%? those "Gamers" do deserve to be stuck with Intel's WalletRippers

Those CPU's are almost same as 6700K that was released 3 years ago! and now another "Update" you get 9X00 series-LOL.

Well, on one side it is "only 100~200MHz", on other side they may be good CPUs if price is good.
Someone with recent intel can shed some light:
Can non-K CPU like i5-9600 be told that it has Power Limit of 125W same way as with K chips? If yes, then one can get decent performance on all cores. (But they should have increase base clock here too, as in worst case scenario it will be no better than i5-8600.)
And then i5-9600K. Who cares about stock turbo clock? Owner is going to tweak it anyway.

Your brain is pile of crap.
How many cores should (the new) i7 have by that twisted logic then?
It's not about cores but about the fact that AMD literally obliterated Intel's artificial market segmentation.
Intel needs a new segmentation direly, unless of course people keep preferring 6/6 over 6/12 - but even that I'd expect to stop come '19 / '20.
The i5 line has been Intel's articifical crippled redheaded stepchild for generations now, solely because they could. They cannot anymore. Well, shouldn't anyway.

Intel having a heart attack with it's "tick-tock" scenario.
Been "tock" for a damn while now

I have very secret concrete info, DO NOT spread it without my confirmation:
It will cost over $9000 and heat would be over 9000°C
