Intel To Release Low Power 35W Core i9 9900T CPU

As the titles says. Intel will be issuing a Low Power Core i9 9900T CPU. The 9900T is a high-performance part, this puppy, however, will have a TDP of 35W.

In order to achieve that TDP, Intel will need to seriously clock the frequencies down for its eight cores. The 9900T was spotted online at an ebay like Asia website. It was listed being an 8 cores and 16 threads proc with 16MB of L3 cache. As mentioned the clocks are tuned down, and it was listed having a base clock of 1.7 GHz. One core can reach 3.8 GHz and 4 cores still an okay 3.3 GHz. The proc was listed with a QQC0 identifier.

It should be "35W" TDP :-)

.
Intel also added 2 new processors to Whiskey Lake line-up:

Intel® Celeron® Processor 4205U
Intel® Pentium® Gold 5405U Processor

I'll wait for 9999U with 15W.

"Intel: NP - here you go- 9900U only 15W with base clock of 1.2Ghz "-LMAO!.
Intel also can give you 9900Y with only 5W by lowering the base clock even lower ~ 0.8Ghz LOL.

Thermal Design Power (TDP) represents the average power, in watts, the processor dissipates when operating at Base Frequency with all cores active under an Intel-defined, high-complexity workload. Refer to Datasheet for thermal solution requirements.

I don't think this thing would even hold up against AMD's upcoming APU's would it?!? I mean with them clocks and all it would be smashed by something with less cores and higher freqs......right?!?

Knowing what $intel does with their tdps, it will probably catch fire on a laptop.

So is this just a method for Intel to ship chips that failed binning?
Any word on price?

I don't think that's a bad thing, it means you can get everything out of the expensive wafers and ultimately drive costs down. Only problem is that's intel we're talking about, so they'll probably be proper expensive.

I would assume so, since Intel seems to be struggling to keep up with demand and they need a high-core CPU that'll be competitive with AMD.
Price might be tricky, since this might require a Z390 board. The wattage is low enough that it should work on lower-end boards (then again, so is the 9900K...) but there's a possibility that the firmware of other chipsets won't even accept any i9s, regardless of wattage.

Could be nice to test this against a Ryzen 1700 or 2700 clocked down to 35W.

Seems like a rather bizarre product...
