Updated: Intel CPU overclocking software and is to release new Core X CPUs

Intel will be releasing their own overclocking software which is able to auto-overclock individual cores. The manufacturer also announced new Xeon and vPro processors, as well as new Core X processors, are inbound for a release later this year.

The overclocking software then, it will be called Intel Performance Maximizer. Mind you that it'll only be with Intel's latest K processors so that would be the Core i5-9600K (F), i7-9700K (F) and the i9-9900K (F). IPM will run alongside Windows to analyze every processor core for maximum clock frequency and voltage. The software then overclocks the processor. The software would be available later this year.

Update: the software is available now, check it here.

The chip manufacturer also is mentioning new Core X processors for the HEDT platform which would be released in the fall, we can only assume these are Cascade Lake X CPUs. For the last bit, Intel introduced 14 'new' processors with vPro. This concerns existing ninth generation mobile and desktop CPUs, which can now also be delivered with the management functionality.

Remember the days that Intel was against OCing? Funny thing is that now it's their only hope to stay relevant against AMD's Ryzen .

Intel and AMD both have clauses about running outside of the recommended spec.

Poor old Intel--acting like the crotchety old man the company has become. If not for AMD, Intel would be sitting on its arse, counting sheep & money all morning long and then ZZZZZzzzzz-z-z-z-z snoozing the rest of the day...

First, off this, Intel mentioned that the Core i9-9900KS processorthey announced (you know all eight cores that can run on 5GHz) will not be available until the end of the year, likely Q4. So that product is already delayed right after its announcement.

Intel announced it one day before Computex just to have a little sunshine before AMD takes the show...and now it has been delayed already?!
Intel Intel...o_O

Too bad only newer models are supported.

Its not exactly a delay if they never said it would be available any sooner then that, is it?
Its just an announcement, not a "release".

The only reason they "announced" it is because AMD are about to blow their current lineup out of the water on both performance and cost. Intel are in full defence mode.

Honestly Intel got nothing to worry about. Zen 2 does not have muscles to beat 9900k in gaming and that's all what matters to 90% of people out there. I am sure they will have some price adjustment but that's about it. I see no reason why Intel should worry about anything. The only contender against 9900k in gaming is 8/16 Zen 2. 12 and 16 core have nothing cause they will run slower clock. Extra cores play no role. 12/24 Cores being $499 is out of reach for 90% of people therefore plays no role at all. The market is not in range of $500+ dollars. I am positive Intel will adjust pricing for their 2066 socket CPUs where you can already get 12/24 version for < $900. Intel was in much worse position with P4 against AMD64. That was true performance crown AMD had. Zen 2 is merely catching up...meh.

The best product in Zen 2 line is their <$300 8/16, that blows up my mind because of how much performance AMD offers for how much less $$$ compared to 9900k. As I said Intel really doesn't need a new product to compete but a big price adjustment. If they do that across the board including 2066 socket platform they are in the game.

Being on 2066 socket platform, really excited about Cascade Lake X for the current x299 2066 socket. Also Intel will release a new 2066 socket chipset but CPU will be compatible on x299 and newer chipset.

Zen2 is beating the 9900k in gaming, please select your choices of hat to eat in the coming weeks.

But the 9900k is also ~€500 so your price argument is irrelevant.
I'm also glad you have done the math and shown that 90% of people will buy the 9900K. Ive also done the math and a LOT more people will be buying the mid range Zen2 than will buy the 9900K
