The Core i9 CPUs will arrive at the LGA1151 socket, the Core i9-9900K will come out

Intel will update its main platform with Z390 motherboards very soon and there is new information coming up in the last few hours. The Core i9 chips will finally make the leap into the mass market, with new models compatible with the LGA1151 socket, used by the current Z370 motherboards and the future Z390.

Intel Core i9-9900K Signs Emerging

Intel is taking its Core i9 brand, which currently runs only on LGA2066 sockets, to the conventional desktop platform. This was something that was going to happen hopelessly. Intel had already deployed its Core i9 on laptops with the Core i9-8950HK.

This would be the nomenclature scheme for the Z390’s updated main alignment:LGA1151, The Core i9 CPUs will arrive at the LGA1151 socket, the Core i9-9900K will come out, Optocrypto

 

  • Intel Core i9-9900K (8 cores / 16 wires)
  • Intel Core i7-9700K (6 cores / 12 wires)
  • Intel Core i5-9600K (6 cores / 6 wires)

Although we do not yet have the exact specifications of these new processors, it is expected that the i9 will have a larger number of cores than the i7 model. The i9-9900K is rumoured to be an 8-core, 16-wire piece to compete with AMD’s Ryzen processors. This would make sense not only from a marketing point of view but also from a positioning point of view, as the company does not currently have an 8-core processor that can face AMD Ryzen’s main line, which has a maximum of 8 cores.

This would also mean that the i7 and i5 CPUs would have 6 cores / 12 threads and 6 cores / 6 threads without hyperthreading respectively, which will represent the first time that Intel’s mainline does not have a 4-core chip. This would make sense not only from a marketing point of view, but also from a positioning point of view, as the company does not currently have an 8-core processor that can face AMD Ryzen’s main line, which has a maximum of 8 cores.

With respect to the i3, so far, no new models are known to be in sight, although we have no doubt that new variants will eventually come out.
