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.
