Core 9000 series

If you stopped people in the street and asked them if they knew who Qualcomm was then they probably wouldn't know.

Is this another Intel thread turning into an AMD sob story?

Annnd we’re back on track for Q3 2018 for the 9000 series! Thank goodness.

No it's just yet another thread that has had no more actual new since the first rumour it was created on. So nothing to actually talk about RE:9900K

Well since the first rumor we now have clock speeds, solder and a benchmark.

anyone here for a juicy cb15 @ 5.2Ghz all 8 cores screenshot?

Get ready for the usual lot to call it fake

what happened last time?

I believe you were correct

Oh well look like no i9-9900K reviews today and this month and the next month too so it will be launch in October, possible on 5th October would marked exactly 1 year since 8700K launch.

Question. Assuming all above is true for a second. When will they actually "be on the shelves"? Im going to USA in Sep, Oct and Nov. be good if I could buy one then,.

I will wait for someone to take a screenshot of inventory inquiry of i9-9900K with launch date just like someone did last year with i7-8700K.

Come on I was expecting a barrage of reviews and motherboard announcements for today .-.

What's predicted for the 9700k so far? 8700k with a speed bump and solder?

2 more cores. hyperthreading disabled. Not sure if solder applies to the now "i7". I kinda doubt it?

What so 8 core as opposed to 6/12?

The 9900K is basically a golden sample 9700K.
The average 9700K couldn't hit low enough volts for 8/16, so hyperthreading gets disabled.

That's my take on it anyway.

8 core 8 thread I am led to believe. Still a solid choice for gamers. Alas annoying Intel have disabled hyperthreading and kept price the same.

I'm not sure. I think they will just have taken "60%" of the raw CPUs, disabled hypeerthreading and flog them as I7 9700K's. Thats a lot cheaper and easier than binning all the chips.

Stock availability will answer that question. Pricing and product designation suggests they don't want to sell many 9900Ks.

I'm sure they would rather sell a chip at £450. Than have to disable it's hyperthreading and sell it at £350! Common sense.
