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.

This doesn't really make sense to me. 100-200MHz is really only going to be enough to compensate for all performance losses of the Spectre and Meltdown patches. Is Intel really going to do absolutely nothing else with this lineup? I mean really, we haven't see any noteworthy IPC changes since Skylake.

I don't think there is much they can do. Much like their outdated server solutions, they need a complete overhaul to make meaningful progress. The most they can do is add more cores and try to squeeze out every last bit of MHz from their current lineup. Despite their size and influence, Intel cannot work miracles.

Intel still has an army of loyal fans who will buy anything they make (kind of like Apple sheeple, who buy and praise anything Apple creates). There were scores of people who paid well over MSRP for a binned and delidded 8700K, and these are the same people who Intel will be hoping to sell their 9000-series chips to. Even if the improvement is 2%, there will be mobs of people tripping over themselves to buy the best gaming CPU (whether it makes an actual difference in games is inconsequential). In other words, Intel will be fine.

To my knowledge, the only difference between Coffee Lake vs Haswell (in regards to the CPU itself, maybe not the IGP) is DDR3 support and some die shrinks. For 4 years they have done nothing to improve the architecture, and they're about to go a 5th year. I find it really hard to believe a company with this much money has had no plans for a succeeding architecture in this amount of time. Even if they were doubtful of AMD's recent successes, that's still not an excuse to have no plan B at all.
And sure, they are looking a little bit into things like ASICs, quantum computers, and GPUs, but none of those are replacement products to x86 CPUs.

In other words, Intel will be fine.

Intel will be fine, but there's a lot of important factors to take in regarding the last several generations:
* Despite being mostly the same as Haswell, Skylake sold well because AMD still wasn't much of a competitor, and, DDR4 was a selling point.
* To my recollection, Kaby Lake actually had worse IPC than Skylake, but, it sold well because both Skylake and Ryzen had rusty launches. In other words, Kaby Lake had very little redeeming qualities, but it didn't carry any burdens at launch date. Furthermore, Kaby Lake had higher clock speeds to make it look more appealing.
* Coffee Lake was only successful since it gave people something they've been wanting for many years - 6 core i5s and i7s. CL also panned out well since quad and dual cores shifted down a performance tier, resulting in lower prices than the KL counterparts. And, CL once again increased clock speeds.

So, what does the 9000 series have to offer? With all the vulnerability patches, the IPC is going to be worse. To my knowledge, it still won't get 10nm, there's no new Thunderbolt or USB tech, and there won't be another shift in performance tiers.

I don't think they need a brand new architecture, it's just that the hiccups in their 10nm process has thrown a monkey wrench into their plans. All they can do for now is try to squeeze out the last bit of performance from their existing process until they work out the kinks with 10nm. The 9000-series chips will most likely be a stop-gap measure.

It's certainly a bad position to be in, but historically they've been able to rely on their fab advantage to thwart their competitors so they were most likely relying on it again. Even if they have a plan B, their best chances of success is still plan A so I think they're going to try to make it work before resorting to more drastic measures.

I dont know why so many are bashing on intel but it still is the go to CPU if you play on a 144hz monitor. For now it is still noticeable if you want to get the lowest frames as high as you possible can get.

A strong AMD will force Intel to update which is good for all of us consumers/share-holders.
