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.
