Intel’s 9th Gen Core series are just around the corner. The first processor from new series has made an appearance in SiSoft Sanda database.
Intel Core i7-9700K with 8-cores and… 8 threads
The 9700K will be a hard part to sell. The predecessor, known as Core i7-8700K, has 12-threads thanks to HyperThreading enabled. Intel’s new i7-9700K would lack this functionality. Despite having 8-cores it would still loose in multi-threaded applications against Core i7-8700K.
The new part allegedly features 3.6 GHz base clock and up to 4.6 GHz maximum turbo clock. The rumored Core i9-9900K does seem to be a much better choice, considering it boosts up to 5 GHz with 16-threads enabled.
