“Intel 9th gen Core K-series processors are aimed at gamers, while the Core X-series chipsets are targeted at content creators and professionals”

Intel has announced the 9th gen Core i9-9900K, i7-9700K, and i5-9600K desktop processors with up to 8 cores and 16 threads. The new processors are accompanied by seven Intel Core-X series processors and details of the Xeon W-3175X processor. Both the Core-X series and Xeon W-3175X are based on the Intel Mesh architecture to support rise in memory and I/O bandwidth as well as drop in latency.

The 9th gen Core K-series processors are for gaming desktops, with Intel claiming the i9-9900K being the best processor in the world for gaming. Intel Core i9-9900K has a base clock speed of 3.6GHz and Turbo Boost of 5GHz, 8 cores and 6 threads, 16MB cache, up to 40 platform PCIE lanes. It supports dual channel DDR4 RAM at 2666MHz, with Optane SSD memory support. The processor costs $488.

Next is the 9th generation Core i7-9700K processor with 3.6GHz base clock speed and up to 4.9GHz clock speed with Turbo Boost. It comes with eight cores and eight threads, 12MB cache, up to 40 platform PCIE lanes, and dual-channel DDR4-2666 RAM support with Optane memory support. Last in the K-series is the Core i5-9500K, which has base clock speed of 3.7GHz and can go up to 4.6GHz with Turbo Boost. It is a hexa-core processor with six threads and 9MB cache. It supports the same DDR4-2666 dual-channel RAM and comes with Optane memory support. As for the price, the Core i7-9700K and Core i5-9500K processors cost $374 and $262, respectively. The 9th gen processors are compatible with the current 300 series and the new Z390 chipsets.

The Intel Xeon W-3175X processor, to available starting December this year, is aimed at content creators and professionals whose work requires highly threaded and computing intensive applications. The unlock Xeon W-3175 processor comes with 28 cores and 56 threads, and can deliver clock speeds of up to 4.3GHz. It offers 38.5MB of cache, supports 6-channel DDR4 memory up to 512GB at 2,666MHz, as well as ECC and standard RAS.

Intel says its Core-X series is a platform for creators and experts, with a variety of core counts and I/O capabilities. The Core i9-9980XE, priced at $1,979, has base clock speed of 3GHz that can go up to 4.4GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0, and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0. It has 18 cores, 36 threads, 24.75MB cache, and up to 68 platform PCIE 3.0 lanes. The Core-X i9-9960X has base clock speed of 3.1GHz, which goes up to 4.4GHz and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technologies. Sixteen cores, 32 threads, 22MB cache, and up to 68 PCIE 3.0 lanes are part of the package, priced at $1,684.

The Core-X i9-9940X is the next in line, priced at $1,387. It has base clock speed of 3.3GHz, going up to 4.4GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0. The processor has 14 cores and 28 threads, long with 19.25MB cache, and four-channel DDR4 RAM at 2,666MHz. Then there is the 3.5GHz Core-X i9-9920X processor, which can be overclocked up to 4.4GHz using Turbo Boost 2.0 technology and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0. There’s 19.25MB cache, 12 cores, 24 threads, up to 68 lanes, and the processor is priced at $1,189.

Intel Core-X i9-9900X, priced at $989, has the same specifications as the i9-9200X but comes with 10 cores and 20 threads. The Core-X i9-9820X comes with 3.3GHz base clock speed, which can go as high as 4.1GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 and 4.2GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technologies. Priced at $898, it has 10 cores, 20 threads, 16.5MB cache, and up to 68 lanes. Last in the line is the Core-X i7-9800X processor with 3.8GHz base clock speed, going up to 4.4GHz and 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 and Turbo Boost Max 3.0. There are a total of 8 cores, 16 threads, and 16.5MB cache as well as up to 68 PCIE 3.0 lanes. All seven processors come with support for quad-channel LDDR4 RAM at 2,666MHz, Intel Optane support, and TDP of 165W. The series will become available to purchase in November.

In a statement, Anand Srivatsa, vice president and general manager, Desktop, Systems and Channel Client Computing Group, Intel said, “Our goal is to deliver leadership performance across all computing segments and product lines. Today’s announcements underscore our ability to do exactly that, including, hands-down, the world’s best processor for gaming. Whether a gamer, a creator or an expert using the most advanced workstation applications possible, Intel and our partners are focused on delivering balanced platforms with real-world leadership performance and robust capabilities that exceed their needs.”
