These two years have been strongly stimulated by AMD, Intel's various product lines began to accelerate significantly, but it may be because of rushing to fight, many places are more messy.
After several unofficial exposures, Intel's latest microcode revision document has appeared in seven new 9000 series products, including five i5, two i3, which are part of the Coffee Lake-S series, one of the eight generations of Core. But according to this number, it is clearly the rhythm of the nine generations of Core.
After deep digging, Intel's latest eight-generation Core family spec sheet, there are even these seven products, and there are detailed specifications, more people in the fog.
I5-9600K : 6 core 6 threads, 3 level cache 9MB, frequency 3.7-4.5GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1150MHz, memory DDR4-2666, thermal design power consumption 95W.
i5-9600: 6 core 6 threads, 3 level cache 9MB, frequency 3.1-4.5GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1150MHz, memory DDR4-2666, thermal design power consumption 65W.
i5-9500: 6 core 6 threads, 3 level cache 9MB, frequency 3.0-4.3GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1100MHz, memory DDR4-2666, thermal design power consumption 65W.
i5-9400: 6 core 6 threads, 3 level cache 9MB, frequency 2.9-4.1GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1050MHz, memory DDR4-2666, thermal design power consumption 65W.
i5-9400T : 6 core 6 threads, 3 level cache 9MB, frequency 1.8-3.4GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1050MHz, memory DDR4-2666, thermal design power 35W.
i3-9100: 4 core 4 threads, 3 level cache 6MB, frequency 3.7GHz , GT2 core graphics, 350-1100MHz, memory DDR4-2400, thermal design power consumption 65W.
i3-9000: 4 core 4 threads, 3 level cache 6MB, frequency 3.7GHz , GT1 core graphics , 350-1100MHz, memory DDR4-2400, thermal design power consumption 65W.
These 7 new products are still manufactured in 14nm process, and the package interface is still LGA1151In theory, it will match the new Z390 motherboard, but there is no reason not to support Z370.
Compared to existing products, these new products simply increase the frequency, most of them are only 100MHz higher, and a few speeds increase 200MHz, which is similar to the upgraded version of Haswell Refresh of the four generations of Core Haswell - that is also Intel's toothpaste The beginning.
If this can be considered a nine-generation Core, then there is no way to evaluate it.
More messy, There are also dozens of other new products in the latest specification table numbered 8000 series, including I7-8670, i7-8670T, i5-8650K, i5-8650, i5-8550, i5-8420, i5-8420T, i3-8120, i3-8020, i3-8000, Pentium G5420, Pentium G5420T.
They are also an upgraded version of the existing eight-generation Core, which is not much larger than 200MHz.
I can't understand this, How do Intel want to upgrade? What is the difference between the 9000 series and these 8000 series? Is the legendary i7-9700K, i9-9900K 8 core 16 threads?
