Lots of announcements today, but there's a new rumor that next to the Coffee lake-S 9th gen, Intel will also release 9th Gen Core HEDT products. That would be Skylake-X refreshes though.

The new flagship product would be the 9980XE and comes with 18-cores and 36-threads. The clock frequencies at the time of writing are not shared, neither has any info been announced on this. These will be an entirely refresh range:

Core i9-9980XE (18 Core)
Core i9-9960X (16 Core)
Core i9-9940X (14 Core)
Core i9-9920X (12 Core)
Core i9-9900X (10 Core)
Core i9-9820X (8 Core)
Core i7-9800X (6 Core)

Update: Intel indeed releases seven new CPUs. The top model mentioned has 18 cores and operates at 3.0 GHz with a maximum Turbo clock frequency of 4.4 GHz. In addition to the 18-core model, there are also copies with 16, 14, 12, 10 and 8 cores. The picture below shows specifications and prices.

The new Skylake-X processors have soldered the heatspreader, which should improve the overclocking capabilities.

They should've called the 18-core the "9990".

"9th gen i9 9990 at 3.99GHz with 2x9 cores compatible with the X299 chipset for $1999.99 plus $9.99 for shipping. Limit of 9 per customer. Is that enough 9s for you? Nein!"

I'm assuming these won't need a new motherboard (although this is Intel we are talking about).

I'd be more interested in hearing about X599 and the 28 core part in all honesty, but I have a feeling we are not going to see that this year.
They announced a new 28-core unlocked Xeon today (Xeon W-3175X). 3.1 GHz base, 4.3 GHz turbo, 38.5 MB cache, 265W TDP, 44 CPU lanes.

those prices...
and of course there's going to be a new chipset.
so get ready to buy another $400+ motherboard.

and dear mother of god...still stuck with only 44 pcie lanes...at the top... R Threadripper 2920x at $650 has 64 pcie lanes so you can have 4x16 cards or any combination you can think of and that's only the 12/24 model.
