Intel launches new processor

Intel has just launched its fastest desktop processor yet. A new 9th generation desktop processor series that finally delivers eight cores of hardware for PC users and gamers.

The three new models are:

Core i9-9900K, 8 cores, 16 threads, base speed 3.6GHz, max Turbo 5.0GHz.
Core i7-9700K, 8 cores, 8 threads, base speed 3.6GHz, max Turbo 4.9GHz.
Core i5-9600K, 6 cores, 6 threads, base speed 3.6GHz, max Turbo 4.6GHz.

Core i9-9900K Specification

These three 9th generation parts use the same CPU socket as the 8th generation Coffee Lake and are compatible with existing Z370 motherboards. However, Intel has also released a new chipset called the Z390 that is designed as the ideal match for the 9th generation. The Z390 chipset is remarkably similar to the Z370 with additional support for Wi-Fi, USB 3.1 Gen.2 and a step up in Management Engine serial number.

And this is just a preview, as you will be able to find much more precise information about it in the following link or in Intel’s official website.
