Updated: Intel to announce Core i9-9900XE HEDT Basin Falls Refresh Processors

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.

That's the total platform lanes. It's 44 lanes from the CPU + 24 from the chipset, just like the current X299 platform.

What is this 9800x, a joke ?
Intel is still not learning... This CPU will be behind the 9900k in performance for sure.
And these HEDT CPUs are still overpriced.
Good luck intel, Threadripper is gaining on me.

It's like that quad core from x299 that was DOA... they literally learn nothing, I swear. Intel truly deserve having their ass handed to them by AMD.

9900K 8C/16T
9900X 10C/20T
Only Intel can misinform customers like this.

Will be interesting to see how this compares in gaming, the 9800X and 9900X vs 9900K.

Will be interesting to see how these CPU's benchmark. And with 68 PCI-E lanes this would help plenty if people are planning to run a couple of GPU's + M.2 NVMe drives in RAID 0 with VROC. All lanes at x16. What i find troubling though, is the part where it says 'up to' 68 lanes. Only time will tell whether is just bullshit marketing or legit specs that perform well.

I don't see why not? These CPUs use the same X299 platform that currently offers 68 lanes (44 from CPU + 24 from chipset).
