Intel Announces Core i9 9900K Processor
During a live stream intel, today announced a Coffee lake-S refresh processor. Coffee Lake started as 8th gen six-core processors and now this is expanding towards eight-core processors. They have a TDP at 95W.
While not mandatory, the Z390 chipset based motherboards are recommended for the 8-core parts. The Coffee Lake 9000 are also based on a 14nm fabrication node, now with desktop in a 6-core and 8-core models. The Coffee Lake series processors are a refresh of the existing architecture and as such, the core basis is the same (as well as IPC). If we look back a little further, Coffee Lake-S shares design elements found in the Kaby lake and Skylake architecture, but now scaled upwards to 8-cores. The processor series is fabbed at 14nm.
- 9900K - 8c/16t has 16MB L3
In the initial release, you will see three primary procs, but that does not mean you'll only see a couple of processors in the Core 9000 range, word out on the street is that models like 9100, 9400 and 9500 Core series processors will be released as well. Next week the performance reviews on the newly announced products will go live. The presentation was a bit confusing for the Core 9000 series, Intel only talked about the Core i9 9900K, and nothing else. We'll add what we think we know.
| Core i9-9900K | Core i7-9700K | Core i5-9600K | |
| Cores / Threads | 8/16 | 8/8 | 6/6 |
| Speed | 3.6GHz | 3.6GHz | 3.7GHz |
| Maximum turbo | 5GHz | 4.9 GHz | 4.6 GHz |
| L2 cache per core | 256KB | 256KB | 256KB |
| L3 cache | 16MB | 12MB | 9MB |
| Memory channels | Dual-channel | Dual-channel | Dual-channel |
| Tdp | 95W | 95W | 95W |

Those games demos were kinda pointless. No frame rates shown and those games I don't think are CPU bound

$488 for the "world's first 8c/16t mainstream processor", LoL. It's like they're pretending that the 1800X doesn't exist and that a near $500 price tag is "mainstream". The galls...
At least they're going back to solder for their X-series refresh and making all lanes available; a small but welcome change. Pricing is still atrocious though. Their new 28-core unlocked Xeon seems to be limited to 44 CPU lanes (I thought it'd be more than the X-series). It's also not 5 GHz like Intel promised back at CES (Intel lied - shock!).

I'm copy-pasting my comment on the pre-order topic because that picture you used as illustration basically says the same : BEST GAMING PROCESSOR
intel knows what it is selling, forum users don't seem to
you guys all seem heavily involved into servers, work computers and stuff
my quote :
these are gamer's CPU and you are talking about HT, cores or Ryzen threadripper you clearly are not the target
what does the 9900k offer ? 5Ghz stock clock speed for 1-2 cores
stock as in no overclocking, no memory compatibility problems, no problems at all you just install boot and it works
the only thing that matters for 99% of the games especially the older or non-AAA ones
also even the new ones google : forza horizon cpu core problem
the game basically use only one core Turn10 says it's on purpose >< which proves my point really as a gamer you want 1-4 cores with high speed and the rest does not matter
and this is what those cpus bring, sli being pretty much dead we don't care about cpu lanes as much
(I had SLI on 580-680-780-980-1080 so I know a "little" about it and dropped it in favor of a single 1080ti, my target being 120fps in 1080p)
