Intel Core i9 9900KFC

[NumLock21]

No this isn't a April 1st joke of a cpu, it's an actual thing that was listed by Finalwire, the people who made the stress test suite AIDA64. Not much is known at this point about what Core i9 9900KFC is, but looking at Intel's letter scheme, we know that

Intel’s K processor line means that the processor will be overclockable, and the i9-9900 means that it will be using the fastest speeds of the generation. F processors are new to Intel’s lineup, and mean that the processor doesn’t have integrated graphics, and users will need a discrete graphics card to use the chip.

The letter causing confusion however, is the C. In the past, Intel used ‘C’ to designate the Broadwell CPUs that had improved integrated graphics. This would fly in the face of the ‘F’ part of the name. However, those C processors also contained a small amount of eDRAM to act as a buffer between the L3 cache and the CPU. In our testing of those processors, it only really gave extra performance to integrated graphics workloads, which is where those Broadwell processors were focused.

But if the naming holds true here, then Intel might be set to offer eDRAM on its high-end eight core processors. Given that we saw benchmark performance increases only on a couple of benchmarks, it will be interesting to hear what Intel has to say about the added benefits are here. Having a non-integrated graphics part with extra hardware to improve graphics performance is like a double edged sword, except with no swords and two hilts.

But at least it is deep fried and from Kentucky, right? This chip needs some dip.

We've reached out to the people behind AIDA, and Intel, for extra clarity on this processor.

Ohhh. So that's why I'm seeing so many deep fried CPU memes.

[imreloadin]

Yeah, I'll take my CPU with a couple of drumsticks and a side of coleslaw...

Please Intel, partner with KFC, if only for a little while. I want a signature recipe CPU with some biscuits and a cookie.

[mxk]

If it doesn't give me blood clots when I try and hit 5Ghz then it's not a true KFC chip.

[pas008]

if i remember correctly broadwell was clocked down like 600mhz from devils canyon but competed with it all around with it and overclocked to same clocks squeezed ahead  supposedly lower tdp

 

actually was looking to find myself 5775 like 6 months ago

 

prolly just a tweak cpu from intel to try to stay ahead of the game with ryzen around the corner

Intel CPU shortage: "They're outta chicken!!"

Shout out to the UK people that will get that joke

The only thing this CPU is good at is making me hungry.

I looked for an image online of someone beating somthing with a chicken wing for meme purposes, alas, google failed me.

I hope everything that you eat does. You might need to chug some GoLytely if not...

I was thinking of a Intel CPU Photoshop'ed into a KFC bucket.  

[Phentos]

They might even use KFC gravy as the TIM for this CPU.

 

Hell I'll take the 9900KFC if they include a side of coleslaw and some biscuits.

[Turtle Rig]

They ran out of cheesy names so they choose KFC ,, Kentucky Fried Chiciken.. lol sighs

i mean like i need the toilet an hour or less after eating some KFC. usually my movements are about two or three hours later

 

is this baaaaad....?

Lol, I was more so being a bit nudging about your wording. Implying that when you don't eat KFC, that you go less often than you get hungry. That normally trends towards severe constipation. Sorry, as someone with bowel issues I find some things funny that others would normally never realize.

 

speaking of constipation, this topic is going to cause it with memes.

"Hi, welcome to KFC!  How may I help you?"

 

Yeah, can I get the i9 combo with the thermal gravy and a large Coca-Cooler?

 

"Sure!  That'll be $495.82 at the window."

 

Thanks!

You beat me to it LUL

[BananaInSandals]

 Had to make this. Sorry not sorry.

[Bananasplit_00]

Well the C also ment that they were unlocked chips so is this a double unlocked chip with improvement so IGPU performance without an IGPU?
