Intel announces six new 9th generation Core processors and here they are
Intel has just announced six new 9th generation Core processors at CES 2019.
We weren't given details during the keynote but we now know what they are.
They are the:
- Core i3-9350KF
- Core i5-9400F
- Core i5-9400
- Core i5-9600KF
- Core i7-9700KF
- Core i9-9900KF
For the uninitiated, the 'K' suffix denotes that the CPU us overclockable while the 'F' suffix means it comes without integrated graphics.
These six processors will join the Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K which were launched in October last year. Here's how the new processors (in bold) stack up against the three existing ones:
| Model | Cores | Base clock | Turbo clock | IGPU | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i9-9900K | 8/16 | 3.6GHz | 5GHz | UHD 630 | 95W |
| Core i9-9900KF | 8/16 | 3.6GHz | 5GHz | - | 95W |
| Core i7-9700K | 8/8 | 3.6GHz | 4.9GHz | UHD 630 | 95W |
| Core i7-9700KF | 8/8 | 3.6GHz | 4.9GHz | - | 95W |
| Core i5-9600K | 6/6 | 3.7GHz | 4.6GHz | UHD 630 | 95W |
| Core i5-9600KF | 6/6 | 3.7GHz | 4.6GHz | - | 95W |
| Core i5-9400 | 6/6 | 2.9GHz | 4.1GHz | UHD 630 | 65W |
| Core i5-9400F | 6/6 | 2.9GHz | 4.1GHz | - | 65W |
| Core i3-9350KF | 4/4 | 4GHz | 4.6GHz | - | 91W |
It has been awhile since Intel released processors without integrated graphics and it is likely a move that will help them increase yields. Such a waste to bin processors if the cores are working fine but the IGPU wasn't. More importantly, they provide alternatives for system builders and DIY enthusiasts.
The official word from Intel is that these processors will begin shipping at the "end of January." 9th generation Core mobile processors will be released in Q2 later this year.
