Interesting! Thinking seriously about the 8 core 16 thread CPU. Thanks for the news boss.

lol...a premium product, 8 core product, with no HT....if this turns out to be true, that's just wow.....

Yep, that 9900K sure looks nice. 4.7 GHz turbo across all 8 cores out of the box, 5.0 GHz on one core, yep, looks like a part I'd use stock without overclock. Which would meake it the first in the last 18 years that I would not overclock.

There are errors in this write up. 9700K is shown as 6/12 and also later as 8/8. Not surprised honestly as the accuracy, grammar and quality of write ups have been bad for a while now. Almost seems like someone is speaking into google translate in some other language and then just publishing whatever the hell gets spit out in English without checking for accuracy or proper English grammar. I'm never a grammar or spelling Nazi, but constant errors as critical as calling the 9700K both a 6/12 part and an 8/8 part just makes reading the articles here effing painful as hell. Guru3D used to be better honestly. No idea what happened.

Buy 8700k/8086k, if you want 6core/12t 😉

There's no doubt in my mind it will be priced higher than the current 8700K part, enough maybe to raise some eyebrows...we have to pay for those extra cores and the 14+++ Whiskey Lake silicon. Must say I'm very keen to see the benchmark numbers. Only question is, will it be soldered or will they use cottage cheese? 😉

Fox2232:

Godlike IPC? Are you on intel's drugs? Last time I checked IPC of intel and AMD chips are practically same. Only intel started to call it "instructions per core" which makes no sense as there is no time unit in name anymore. Or do you expect them to improve IPC drastically, and prove that they intentionally held IPC back while having improvements ready for years? And fun fact... "Well done Intel." Congratulating before fact? Reminds me of all those racers who lost their races on last meters due to them celebrating early.
Per clock there is not much difference, but Intel can run @ ~1Ghz faster core and ~Ghz faster memory. This makes the big difference. If you don't like it, don't buy it. 😉

Oh that 9900K looks juicy sweet. Maybe finally I'll upgrade my aging 5820K.

That 9700K will be the new gaming king. It will obliterate 8086k and 2700x in all aspects. 8/8 with strong clocks and godlike IPC is more than enough before 2020. Well done Intel.
warlord:

@Fox2232 Whenever you like it or not If differences between 9900K and 8700K are like 8700K vs 7700K we are talking for frightening power inbound. AMD is still weak to react. Everything else mentioned is blabbing.
warlord:

@HWgeek Blah blah as much as you want. Intel is sitting on throne, whether you ROFLing or not. War cries will not give you any victories.
So much fail in these posts, spoken like a true diehard fanboy.

I think it's misleading to show "5GHz" when it's only for 1 core.
5.0 GHz (1-2 Cores) 4.8 GHz (4 Cores) 4.7 GHz (6-8 Cores)

If I were you I will hold on tiny bit longer, and if you plan to stick with intel then IceLake 9th gen. That would be a worthy upgrade, not this. It's still Coffelake after all. And by games there isn't much of a difference, both get way over 100fps, at higher reso the gap is basically none.

I'm in the same boat as him, having the 5820K for 3.5~ years now. While I do plan to stick to it for as long as I can, I got a bit frustrated some days ago, as apparently my 5820K can't handle its 4.4 OC anymore with the voltages it had for years, it started crashing in some CPU intensive games like AC:Origins or BF1 and I was forced to lower it to 4.3... that's why the 9900K is incredibly tempting with 4.7 on stock on 8 cores! 😱 I'm at 1440p 140Hz gaming wise, so CPU shouldn't really be a problem, but as it happens, some games, AC:Origins in particular made me reconsider things.

Wow, i7-9700K looks like a really beastly gaming CPU considering it's got a whole 8 cores without hyperthreading! Hyperthreading has been shown to slow down some games (but is beneficial in others if you don't have enough real cores), and there's a whole 8 real cores at high clocks - could be the best gaming CPU ever, even better than the i9 9900K perhaps!

So Intel is going to catch up to AMD in terms of core number that together with higher clocks should give them a comfortable lead in the mainstream market. The problem is at what cost for the consumers?... Not to mention the temps of those things. And like someone has already said, no 6 core version with HT, why??? Intel makes such dumb moves...

D3M1G0D:

Wait, so will this new Core i9 require a X299 board? If so, that's a pretty costly alternative to a 2700X. Will the Core i7 really be limited to a 8c/8t chip? I somehow doubt this - Intel needs to release a 8c/16t mainstream product, not a HEDT product.
No. New bios is out already for most z370 MB, that support 9series cpu's 🙂 https://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?lang=en

D3M1G0D:

That doesn't answer my question. Will this new Core i9 require a X299 board like all the other i9 chips? If I had to take a guess, my answer would be yes, which means it will not be supported on Z370. Like I said, I doubt the veracity of these specs.
This CPU should be the whole point of the upcoming Z390 motherboards, so I highly doubt they would work on current Z370, regardless of bios.

Funny how you completely ignored the equally as rabid Amd fanboy comments. Especially since this thread is about intel's chips. Instead it's become nothing but wishful thinking from the amd crowd. speaking of which...
And then we will see Zen2 around same time. There AMD is likely to gain 5~10% IPC as they promised since Zen/Zen+ is new architecture with a lot of low hanging fruits. And we can expect 8C/16T max auto clock moving from 4.0GHz to 4.4GHz while max auto clock from 4.35GHz to 4.8GHz. Basically making AMD's solution equal to intel's in performance while AMD is likely going to keep prices as they have them now. That's price where AMD's 8C/16T costs about same as intel's 6C12T.
All aboard the hype train!! CHOO CHOO!!!! ... *sigh*
