Suspected Details of Core i9-9900K, i7-9700K and i5-9600K Appear Online – Computer – News

On a Chinese forum, details were placed on the Intel Core i9-9900K processor, the i7-9700K and the i5-9600K. The supermodel would have eight cores with HyperThreading and would receive a boost clock of 5GHz. The new processors fit into the socket lga1151

Last year, Intel designed the first i9 processors for its hedt platform, but it now seems to use this model name for the mainstream platform based on the socket lga1151. The name i9 would only be reserved for an octacore with HyperThreading. An octacore without HyperThreading gets the name of the i7. Remarkably, the i7 has fewer threads than the current Core i7-8700K, which has six cores with HyperThreading.

Intel is expected to announce the new processors in the third quarter of this year. This would be based on the improved 14nm +++ process, called Whiskey Lake. The new processors would be compatible with current motherboards based on 300 series chipsets after a BIOS update.

Intel recently confirmed the arrival of 9000 series Core processors in a document in which six models were mentioned. This involved the Core i5-9600K, i5-9600, i5-9500, i5-9400, i5-9400T, i3-9100 and the i3-9000. The i5 models have six cores and the i3 variants are quadcores.

TechPowerUp reports that the details of the new processors were on the Chinese forum Coolerar, the wire is no longer visible. The information is displayed by a user who has in the past more often brought correct details about processors not yet announced.
