Core 9000 series

The 8th gen rebrands are bad enough. But it will be laughable if they release a new top of the range 8-core which doesn't have hardware fixes for Spectre Variants 2 and 3.

They will, They can't get 10nm working but they still need to refresh peoples interest.
Many people not posting around these forums will think they are new CPU's and buy them up like up branded iPhones, that's why they do it, same as GPU's its no longer about bringing new products to market its just up branding the same crap over and over again.
IMO its also why they keep changing the Chip-Set, it adds to the up rated branding to help make people think they are a new product.
 
Coolaler leaked 9th gen CPUs spec with final clock speeds:

http://www.coolaler.com/threads/intel-core-i9-9900k_i7-9700k_i5-9600k.351755/

i9 9900K will be the new flagship with 8 cores and 16 threads, surprise same 95W TDP and 3.7GHz base clock as 8700K, i9 9900K will have turbo boost of 5GHz on both 1 and 2 cores, 4.8GHz on 4 cores, 4.7GHz on 6 and 8 cores.

i7 9700K will have 8 cores and 8 threads instead of 6 cores and 12 threads on 8700K.

i5 9600K will have 6 cores and 6 threads.

Look like 9th gen probably wont have CPU with 6 core and 12 threads so you could need to buy 8th gen i7 8700K or i7 8086K.

i9 9900K here I come, cant wait to turn on MCE to use all 8 cores at 5GHz. :cool:
 
9900K has my interest if it will drop into my current board! 5.0 for 2-thread and 4.7 for 8-thread sounds like pretty nice stock clocks and might well slug it out with Ryzen 3000 at this core count. Wonder what the volts and thermals will be like for all cores at 5ghz...

Are the stock power figures BS, or are they the result of the "very mature" process Intel are on now?

*edit* Stupid question, but how stable are Intel's boost clocks? I could never get my Ryzen to hold it's XFR speed for any length of time even with very single threaded loads, and I put this 8700k straight to all-cores before I even installed Windows :P

Yes. I updated my Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 BIOS to latest F7 with new CPU microcode that will support new 9th generation CPUs.

I opened BIOS ROM on AMIBCP and found 8 core in settings. :)

I was digging around in a Z390 bios using AMIBCP the other day to see what I could find.
If I remember my findings correctly the references to 8 core power limits were there even with the launch Z370 bios ROMs. They were absent for all the Z170 and Z270 ROMs I checked IIRC.
 
Why is hyperthreading just enabled on the 9900k with all of the other i3, i5 and i7 chips having it disabled? Surely they should have just enabled it on all of them as it's pretty well segmented already now?

This would be more logical:

i3 - 4C / 8T
i5 - 6C / 12T
i7 - 8C / 16T
i9 - 10C+ HEDT

It's there on the die so why not just enable it, it's extra performance for no extra manufacturing cost. Wonder if it's heat related?
