Intel Core i9 Processors Might be Incoming

[kameshss]

It is a know rumor that X299 chipsets being leaked everywhere. While at it, AnandTech forum member "Sweepr" posted some interesting specs about upcoming processors (could be a rumor). Listing out some interesting processor naming scheme such as Intel Core i9.  This list includes CPUs that are listed for release in June, though there is also Intel's rumored 12-core Skylake-X flagship, which is listed for an August release.

 

 

If the above table is true, they're after AMD to smash their Ryzen 7 lineup. Looking at those 7820x and 7900x those Boost Clock speeds are higher than Ryzen 7 1800x. This could be useful in many ways!

 

- L2 cache = 1MB (Skylake-X), 4x as much as Core i7-7700K
- Dual DDR4-2666 for Kaby Lake-X / Quad DDR4-2666 for Skylake-X
- 112W for Kaby Lake-X / up to 160W for Skylake-X
- Apparently all Core i9 parts support AVX-512 (TBC)
- Launch in June, except 7920X (August)

Quote

7920x is a juggernaut featuring a total of 12 cores and 24 threads. The total cache on this behemoth is 16.5 MB (L3). Although lower than whole cache featured on previous HEDT processors, the new cache runs more efficiently and reduces chip size and cost while delivering better performance. The chip would ship with a TDP of 160W and will feature a quad channel IMC allowing for up to eight DDR4 DIMMs (two per channel) clocked at 2666 MHz (native).

 

As for the pricing, Intel could price this over $2000. Because, previously i7-6950x was priced around 1700 bucks. So, they'll definitely increase the price for i9, if this is true.

The i9 name seems absolutely retarded. no way.

 

other than that, we all knew that X299 and Skylake-X was coming. but they will be way more expensive than Ryzen.

I bet it'll be over $2000

Well, i7s go all the way from 2/4 to 10/20 currently. I guess this is supposed to differentiate the HEDT.

13.75 MB of cache

 

Yeah, I think this is probably fake mah dude

yeah. my thought. could be some engineering sample leaks? may be? not sure though.

[vanished]

I kind of doubt they'll do this, but honestly, they should have named them that from the start to differentiate the consumer i7s from the enthusiast ones.  I know lots of people hate the idea but idk why, seems good to me.

[Stefan1024]

Why do they call the boost x.0 when they never use the second digit?

2.0 -> 3.0

 

Just marketing...

I like i9 as well.

Better than i8, I don't care that you are not hungry anymore.

I always thought the new Intel Core series would be named i10.

Sounds cooler, is more rounded and is marketing-friendly.

 

No +2 bs, i3 (three) had to start somewhere, and I see no i1.

I guess it's a major revision and not just a minor feature add

They should rename the Pentiums to i1

Yeah, I saw that. But, I decided not to add it since the image wasn't clear. The image is on OC3D. I linked it on Source

[randomhkkid]

Those boost clocks seem ridiculously high, considering the 10/20 core 6950X only boosts to 3.5ghz. No way will intel take the boost clock up by 1ghz on this generation.

 

Also the cache on the 6950X is 25MB why would intel downgrade it to 16.5MB on their new flagship.

 

This reeks of made up or severely extrapolated info

WE ALL KNOW THIS IS FAKE 9 IS NOT A PRIME NUMBER 

[Madusha]

I  this would be a dumb move for Intel, as the i9 would have to be more expensive than the i7 and already the Ryzen 7 are made as budget.

[Notional]

Never understood why the HEDT CPU's weren't called I9's. About time their versions made sense. But if AMD's HEDT platform is really coming, then these chips will get serious competition. Sorry Intel, your 1700$ days are over. No more screwing over the customer.

The Pentium name can literally never die. It has too much history; it's just sad to see what was once a top end SKU as the (second from the) bottom of the barrel designation.

[Coaxialgamer]

Am i the only one that gets back memories of I9 rumors all the way back from the nehalem/westmere days ?

If you think the 1700$ cpu is bad , you should look at this .The 6950x is far from the most expensive consumer cpu they ever made  

3000$ with inflation

No plz no.

 

We can't have the non-techies saying "i9 is coming out soon" to actually be right...
