At the Intel keynote, the company revealed its plans for the expansion of its current line of 9th generation desktop processors. This new line-up includes i3-9350KF, i5-9400F, i5-9400, i5-9600KF, i7-9700KF, i9-9900KF. The high-end version is the eight-core Core i9-9900KF, matching the existing Core i9-9900K chip.
Similar to the Core i9, the Core i7-9700KF and the Core i5-9600KF are all identical to their existing counterparts. The Core i3-9350KF is an overclocked Quad-Core processor without hyperthreading and without graphics. It has a 4.0 GHz base frequency and a 4.6 GHz turbo frequency. The Core i5-9400F is a six-core processor and without hyperthreading or integrated graphics. It comes with a 2.9 GHz base frequency and a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency.
Most of the chips pack the same 14nm process with the Coffee Lake microarchitecture and some of them lack integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU which are denoted by an “F” suffix on the product name. The Core i9-990KF, i9-9700KF, and i5-9600KF all feature the same core counts, threads, base and boost frequencies, TDPs, and cache allocations. The Core i3-8100F is placed at the bottom as it comes with four cores and threads, a static 3.6 GHz frequency, and 6MB of L3 cache. The Mobile processors on Core 9th Gen will come in Q2 this year.
