There are indications that Intel will update a new wave of processors for the desktop platform. The current rumors include the i9-9900K, i7-9700K and i5-9600K.
This week's specs pointed out that the i9-9900K will be designed as 8 cores and 16 threads, while the i7-9700K is 8 cores and 8 threads, that is, although it touches 8 cores, the hyperthreading function has been cut off.
This subtle change has made it difficult for many netizens to call. However, the processor identified as i7-9700K has appeared in the SiSoft Sanda database. Supported its 8-core 8-thread architecture.
We can also learn from the database, The i7-9700K is based on 14nm Coffee Lake, with a base frequency of 3.6GHz and a 12MB L3 cache.
As such, the i7-9700K is Intel's first Core i7 chip that does not support Hyper-Threading Technology. The sudden adjustment is somewhat unpredictable.
Another big news is that multiple sources from Europe pointed out that Core i9-9900K and i7-9700K will use brazing This is the first time after the SNB platform to ensure heat dissipation at high frequencies.
