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.

| 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 |

Eight listing with only one having HT.
Nice to see drop in pricing, but how much more performance will there be over the non "f"?

These aren't new chips, we already know the answer is "none". It's just harvested chips with a non-functional GPU.
The biggest issue with these chips previously was that they were priced the same as the non-F versions but offered less features. I'm not saying this minimal price drop is enough to make up for it but at least it acknowledges that these are worse parts.
