Intel reduces prices for Core 9000 series F (no IGP) range + Xeon W 2200 Range
Last week you've already seen the many-core Core X announcements, however intel ahd another surprize left, as they are lowering prices for the 9000 series.
The price reduction runs from 5 to even 20%, the price cut is specifically aimed at the processors without integrated GPU, or the IGP that is disabled I should say. That means all processors in the 9000 series and name ending with the letter F apply. The biggest drop in price can are the low-cost procs, Core i3 9100F is 20% cheaper and the i5 9400F 14%. The more expensive Core i7s and i9s processors drop is 5 to 8 percent bringing them closer to3wards AMD Ryzen processors.
| Cores | Old price | New price | Difference % | Unlocked | Hyper-Threading | TDP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intel Core i9 9900KF | 8 | $ 488 | $ 463 | 5 | Yes | Yes | 95 W |
| Intel Core i7 9700KF | 8 | $ 374 | $ 349 | 7 | Yes | No | 95 W |
| Intel Core i7 9700F | 8 | $ 323 | $ 298 | 8 | No | No | 65 W |
| Intel Core i5 9600KF | 6 | $ 262 | $ 237 | 10 | Yes | No | 95 W |
| Intel Core i5 9500F | 6 | $ 192 | $ 167 | 13 | No | No | 65 W |
| Intel Core i5 9400F | 6 | $ 182 | $ 157 | 14 | No | No | 65 W |
| Intel Core i3 9350KF | 4 | $ 173 | $ 148 | 14 | Yes | No | 91 W |
| Intel Core i3 9100F | 4 | $ 122 | $ 97 | 20 | No | No | 65 W |
Intel also is introducing its workstation-specific Xeon W processors with eight 2200-series chips priced from $294 to $1,333 up-to 18-cores, based on the latest Cascade Lake architecture. Below an overview of the new procs, clock on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Nowadays, an i5 is arguably a better value than an i7.
I think i5 has been their best value for a while.

I'm a bit surprised Intel hasn't made a "no-IGP" range back when they had supply issues. A lot of people don't want/use them, it's making Intel's products more expensive, and it's slowing down Intel's production. Despite how slow those GPUs are for gaming, they actually take up a pretty decent chunk of the die. That's a lot of transistors that could be put to making more cores. This is the Kaby Lake map, but let's face it, things haven't changed a whole lot since then:

I think his point was for the entire product line to be shifted around a bit, starting with the i5 having HT. But, HT isn't what it used to be, thanks to all the security issues. Nowadays, an i5 is arguably a better value than an i7.
