Intel Processor Refresh in Spring - 100 MHz bumps
Earlier this week you've already read the funny news about a KFC edition, in the upcoming weeks more processors will be added into the lineup from Intel, they, however, all are refreshes mostly 100 MHz increase on the frequency. In the desktop segment, You've already seen the Intel Core i5-9400 / 9400F.
In retail you can already spot most of the new SKUs listed, for the desktop, processors in the Coffee Lake Refresh will be available as the Core i-9000 processors.
Similar to the Core i5-9400, most models will be a higher-clocked Coffee Lake, typically 100 MHz more clock. The naming is a little weirder though. If you look at the below overview the Celeron sticks to two cores and two threads, Pentium procs offers at least four of them (two cores + two threads) now going to 4 GHz (Pentium Gold 5260). This is an entry-level Pentium Gold G5260 model is already present in some European stores along with a prominent availability date on March 4th. It is not known which architecture the Pentium Gold G5260 is based on, but according to a current Intel roadmap, this should be Coffee Lake-R. With the Pentium Gold G5260, six additional models are planned: Pentium Gold G5420, Pentium Gold G5420T, Pentium Gold G5600T, Celeron G4950, Celeron G4930 and Celeron G4930T. Pentium models should come in combination with two processor cores and a total of four threads, while two processor cores and two triads are expected in Celeron.
It is expected that Intel will bring the entire range of new models to market in April. Some of the KF versions can already be found.

You have to remember they are last years stock that they could not sell due to over the top prices that have been repackaged. Just the same process the supermarket use when they can not sell products that go past the sell by date, dry goods/ tin products etc. go back to producer / manufacturer get re-dated and where necessary repackaged. Other wise they get dumped in land fill. Nvidia is very good at that one

Somebody has to pay for intel's multi year push to 10nm.
With a price bump to boot I bet

Absolutely true, either reused chips or a slight improvement in the production process which allows them generall higher binning, but nothing new at all.
Why you're referring to Nvidia isn't beyond me totally, but there'd be other companies coming to my mind before them tbh.

I don't get the point of that list. All of the 9th series CPUs listed on there aren't exactly new. The 9400, 9600K, 9700K, and 9900K already exist. So is this just about mid-range to low-end refreshes?
