Not one, not two but the performance numbers of all three of Intel’s upcoming 9th generation unlocked processors has leaked out. The performance numbers are compiled in Geekbench 4 which shows what kind of jump we should expect from the core count bump on the high-end processors, arriving next month.

 

Intel Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K Unlocked 9th Gen CPU Performance Leaks Out in Geekbench

All processors seem to have been tested on stock clock speeds which are very high out of the box. We are talking about up to 5.0 GHz boost on a single and up to 4.7 GHz boost on 8 cores. Here we can see that the enhanced 14nm++ process node is really helping Intel deliver the fastest clocked mainstream processors to date and even though there aren’t any architectural improvements to talk about, the core jump and clock speeds would really help boost performance in gaming, multi-tasking and rendering workloads.

 

Starting with the flagship part, the Intel Core i9-9900K scored 6248 points in single core and 33037 points in multi-core benchmarks. These are some of the highest numbers we have seen for an LGA 1151 socketed mainstream part and nothing even from the rivaling Ryzen club comes close to this. The chip was tested on an ASUS ROG Maximus X HERO motherboard with 16 GB of DDR4 memory which is pretty standard but what I am really interested to see now is where overclocks would take this score to since all three unlocked SKUs will be rocking a soldered IHS design and that would be a lot of help in keeping the chip cooler when overclocked and even when running under stock load.

 

The Intel Core i7-9700K scored 6297 points in the single core and 30152 points in the multi-core benchmark. While the single core score is similar to the Core i9-9900K since there’s a difference only of 100 MHz, the lower threads on the 9700K resulted in 3000 points lower than the flagship. The chip was tested on a Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming motherboard. Comparing it to the Ryzen 7 2700X shows that the chip is much faster in single core workloads but the Ryzen 2700X has a total of 16 threads while the Core i7-9700K has only 8 threads so while the 9th Gen chip is in lead, the difference in performance is lower than the 8700K’s multi-core score.

The last part that was tested is the Intel Core i5-9600K which was also tested on a similar config as the Core i7-9700K. The chip scored 6027 points in single core and 23472 points in multi-core CPU benchmark. Here, we also see the single core performance just about the same as the other parts but multi-core performance is lower due to much lower threads. The Core i5-9600K is an i5-8600K on steroids based on the clock speeds. The 8600K itself scored around 5000 points in single core and 19000-20000 points in multi-core benchmark so we can see a good boost in performance for this part.

 

 

Intel Core i9-9900K, Intel’s First 8 Core Mainstream CPU With 4.7 GHz All 8 Core Boost Frequency, Faster Than Intel’s 8086K Anniversary Edition In All Possible Ways

First up, we will detail the flagship part, the 8 core, 16 thread, Intel Core i9-9900K. This will be the first mainstream desktop Core i9 part and also the first Intel chip to boast 8 cores and 16 threads. In terms of cache, the chip will feature 16 MB of L3 and will come with an Intel UHD 620 graphics chip.

The clock speeds are something to check out here, we are going to get a 3.6 GHz base clock out of the box and a 5.0 GHz boost clock in single and dual core operations. 4 core boost is rated at 4.8 GHz while 6/8 core boost is rated at 4.7 GHz. This is the highest frequency we have seen on an 8 core part across all cores. All of this is done under a 95W package so we can expect some hefty cooling solutions to go along with this chip.

 

 

Intel Core i7-9700K, Intel’s First 8 Core, Core i7 Mainstream Desktop CPU With Up To 4.6 GHz Clocks Across All Cores

Coming to the top Core i7 part, we get 8 cores and 8 threads. This the complete opposite of what we have been hearing as previous rumors identified the chip as a 6 core and 12 thread part. The chip will have 12 MB of L3 cache and as you might tell, it has lower threads than the Core i7-8700K but comes with higher core count. So maybe, we will get same or even better performance from the chip.

In terms of clock speeds, the chip has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and boosts up to 4.9 GHz in single, 4.8 GHz in dual-core, 4.7 GHz in four core and 4.6 GHz in 6/8 core operations. The TDP for this part is maintained at the same 95W.

Intel Core i5-9600K, 6 Cores, and 6 Threads With Higher Clocks Than 8th Generation i5 ‘K” SKU

The Intel Core i5-9600K is a 6 core and 6 thread part with 9 MB of L3 cache. This makes it very similar to the Core i5-8600K. The difference is that it features higher clock speeds of 3.7 GHz base, 4.6 GHz boost (1 core), 4.5 GHz (2 core), 4.4 GHz (4 core) and 4.3 GHz (6 core). All of this is done at the same TDP of 95W.

The 9th generation will be compatible with existing 300 series and the new Z390 motherboards. Following are some key features of the upcoming lineup:

• First performance Intel Core i9 desktop s-series processor
• Up to 8 cores
• Intel Z390 chipset compatible
• Solder Thermal Interface Material (STIM)
• Integrated USB 3.1 gen 2 and Integrated Intel Wireless-AC
• Up to 16 threads, 5.0 GHz, 16 MB cache, and 40 platform PCIe lanes (16 CPU + 24 PCH)
• Compatible with all Intel 300 series chipsets
• Intel Optane memory and Intel Optane SSD support
• Thunderbolt 3 support

The specifications have been listed but there’s currently no word on the prices which are said to be expected around September, around the same time as the official announcement. Expect more on details regarding the prices and performance of these new 6 and 8 core mainstream parts from Intel in the coming months.

Which Intel 9th Generation CPUs are you most interested in?

•  Core i9-9900K (8 Core / 16 Thread) ~450 USD
•  Core i7-9700K (8 Core / 8 Thread) ~350 USD

UPDATE: First full 9700K on Z390 review!!! 

https://wccftech.com/intel-core-i7-9700k-8-core-cpu-review-performance-detailed/

 

The first performance review of the Intel Core i7-9700K 8 core processor has been published early by Elchapuzasinformatico. The review which details gaming, multi-tasking, and overclocking shows the 9th Generation Core i7 against existing processors such as Intel’s 8th Gen Core and AMD Ryzen CPUs.

Intel Core i7-9700K Review Gets Published, Tested on Z390 Motherboard – Faster Than Core i7-8700K in Gaming, Overclocks To 5.0 GHz

Yesterday, we detailed some performance numbers of all three 9th Generation Unlocked SKUs that would be available during the launch. Today, we are getting the first performance review of Intel’s 9th Generation Core i7 SKU which will be aiming the high-end mainstream segment while the Core i9-9900K would be the flagship model of this lineup. You can read the full Core i7-9700K review on the source, here.

RELATEDIntel Core i9-9900K 8 Core/16 Thread, Core i7-9700K 8 Core/8 Thread and Core i5-9600K 6 Core/6 Thread CPU Single Core and Multi-Core Performance Leaks Out

Intel Core i7-9700K, Intel’s First 8 Core, Core i7 Mainstream Desktop CPU With Up To 4.6 GHz Clocks Across All Cores

Coming to the specifications of the Core i7-9700K, we get 8 cores and 8 threads. The chip will feature 12 MB of L3 cache and as you might tell, it has lower threads than the Core i7-8700K but comes with higher core count. That along with the higher clock speeds will definitely help reduce the difference between the higher threaded model and the new part.

In terms of clock speeds, the chip has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and boosts up to 4.9 GHz in single, 4.8 GHz in dual-core, 4.7 GHz in four core and 4.6 GHz in 6/8 core operations. The TDP for this part is maintained at the same 95W.

 

When it comes to performance, it is similar to what we have been expecting for a while. The Core i7-9700K is the fastest Core i7 chip in both single and multi-core performance benchmarks. When compared to AMD’s Ryzen, the chip has a strong lead in single core performance and even with a lower thread count, it manages to outperform the Core i7-8700K and even manages to close in on the gap with the Ryzen 7 2700X in some rendering workloads except Cinebench R15 and wPRIME (Multi-Core).

The reason being the 8 more threads on the 2700X. Then again, Intel has their own 8 core and 16 thread Core i9-9900K part coming out which will be competing against the Ryzen CPU in that high-performance, multi-tasking heavy bench fest.

Gaming has always been a strong point for Intel CPUs and their Core i7 is once again dominating the charts with the best in class performance. Do mind that we haven’t even seen the flagship chip in action yet. In all games tested which include Battlefield 1, Rise of the Tomb Raider, DOOM, Far Cry 5, Resident Evil 7 and Total War: Warhammer 2, the Core i7-9700K easily outclassed all other CPUs.

Intel Core i7-9700K Overclocking Detailed

The Intel Core i7-9700K was tested on a Z390 motherboard (unnamed due to NDA) but it did manage to hit a cool 5 GHz with 1.4V across all 8 cores. It was said that the chip received by Elchapuzasinformatico wasn’t that good of a sample and even with STIM (Solder Thermal Interface Material) the temperatures skyrocketed around 90C (with the voltage set to Auto). It is evident that setting the voltage to Auto would result in higher numbers that aren’t consistent and would result in much higher temperatures than what manual overclocking configurations would yield.

At the same time, it is also stated that the motherboard had a very early BIOS and with an updated version, they can further lower the usage around 1.2V for the same 5 GHz speeds which would also result in lower temperatures of 60-70C.

More performance results of the Intel Core i9-9900K flagship 8 core processor have leaked out. This time, we are looking at the 3DMark Timespy benchmark (via TUM APISAK) which lists down scores of the processor in both stock and overclocked configurations.

Intel Core i9-9900K Flagship 8 Core CPU Tested in 3DMark Timespy Benchmark – Faster Than An Overclocked Ryzen 2700X at Stock Clocks

Yesterday, we got to see the first media review of the Core i7-9700K and a day before that, we saw many Geekbench 4 benchmarks of the entire unlocked 9th Generation processor lineup. The CPUs are still some time away from their official launch and many reviewers and overclockers already have their hands on the processors and Z390 motherboards. Some of the earlier benchmarks we got to see were posted by motherboard manufacturers themselves who forgot to pull off the plug from the internet where the results got listed (accidentally).

 

The performance results show that at stock clocks, the Core i9-9900K 10,916 points and 36.68 FPS in the CPU tests on 3DMark Timespy. The chip was also tested by a different user with clock speeds of 4.8 GHz across all cores and that scored 11,459 points and 38.50 FPS in the CPU tests. Now when we compare these results to an overclocked AMD Ryzen 2700X at 4.45 GHz that seems to be the near limit of the AMD flagship 8 core processor, the chip scores 10,285 points and 34.56 FPS in the same CPU benchmark.

The Core i9-9900K is tested in 3DMark Timespy at both, a stock and overclocked frequencies. (3DMark Timespy Link)

Looking at the above-mentioned results, we can see that even at stock speeds, the Intel Core i9-9900K is ahead of it’s overclocked competitor. Another thing to note is that the overclocked CPU doesn’t score a whole lot more than the stock clocked Core i9-9900K. The reason being that the Intel Core i9-9900K already boosts to 4.7 GHz across all 8 cores so we are only looking at a 100 MHz bump with the overclock. Keeping that in mind, the score is good enough but we expect it to reach much higher with retail samples that would be able to hit clocks north of 5 GHz.

In addition to the 3DMark Timespy results, we also have a new listing for the Core i9-9900K in the Geekbench 4 benchmark at 5.10 GHz clock speed across all 8 cores on an ASUS ROG Maximus X HERO motherboard.

There was another thread that showed off similar leaked Geekbench results.

I still wanna see if there's more to the 9700K.

[JoeCoke]

First of all, very nice formatting.

 

These are looking like absolute monsters, AMD better hope that Zen 2 is amazing, because Intel will match them in thread count, with a massive clock speed difference. Now of course the 2700x is over 100$ cheaper, but still, the majority don't care, they just see performance numbers and these will rip and tear.

[Rune]

9900k Here I come!

[PatXioPC]

So, judging by the die size here, really wondering are they gonna fit on the same socket (especially the i9s die looks bigger and somewhat like kabylake-x)? Or maybe entire lineup will feature the same die size with disabled clusters? 

 

[.Apex.]

how the hell is a 6 core without hyperthreading (i5-9600K) is scoring higher than an i7-8700K.... makes no sense... it should be the same as the i5-8600K..

 

and the 8 core without hyperthreading (i7-9700K) should score similar to the i7-8700k but it's waaaaay above it, i don't understand what they changed that gave them this insane performance boost? 

[Guest]

No HT?

[.Apex.]

man i feel like shit for buying the 8700K if already it's on the i5 level, well atleast i have an upgrade path.

 

but i'm pretty sure the results are skewed or geekbench is retarded... those scores make no sense.

pretty sure zen 2 will have more than 8 cores, most probably 12 cores, confirmation coming when epyc 2 launches soon

clock speeds is a big unknown though

Definitely taking those scores with mountains of salt, I'm more interested in the specs/pricing/release date.

it's wccf.   wait a week and they publish another article with new leaks suggesting they are faster, then slower, then able to bake a cake whilst gaming 4K at 90FPS.

[RobbinM]

Ok then what about this thought:

Intel gamer days are from sept 1st to 16th. It is a sale. So with that said I expect them to release sept. 17 right after they got rid of the old stuff.

okay i figured it out, Geekbench basically doesn't care at all about Hyperthreading.

the i5-8600K scores 22279 and the i5-9600K scores 23472, so that's a 5% difference, that's very reasonable.

 

but the thing is, the i7-8700K scores around 22,000 as well, so basically Geekbench doesn't scale with Hyperthreading at all.

 

the reason the i7-9700K is so high up there is because it has 2 extra cores but no hyperthreading, so it scaled up with Geekbench.

 

note to self: never trust Geekbench for any results

 

 

[RobbinM]

That makes sense. 5% could be due to clock speed improvement and a little enhancement over 8th gen.

I'm aware of those rumors, and it seems realistic because AMD's big strategy this decade has been having more cores. But until they're proven I'm not counting on it. I'm honestly hoping for much higher clock speeds, if Zen 2 really is THAT more efficient than Zen+, than that'd be great to see that translate into better clocks, but who knows.

 

But as of now, until Zen 2 launches in 2019, Intel with have taken back the multi threaded crown (on the mainstream platforms). So until then, AMD should do another price cut on 2nd gen Ryzen CPUs because price is pretty much all Ryzen has after Intel drops these CPUs.

It shouldn't be an issue . Judging by the die size of previous 14nm chips , this is probably pushing near 180mm² , which isn't that big .

Consider the i7 2600k at 216mm² , but fit in a socket that was the same exact size as our current lga 1151 ( all lga 115X sockets are the same size , in part to maintain cooler compatibility )

[.Apex.]

here's my i7-8700K Geekbench score if anyone is interested.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/9772465

 

Completely stock, MCE Off, boosts all core to 4.3Ghz normally, and 4.7Ghz single core.

2x8GB 3200Mhz CL15 RAM

 

i5-8600K scores 22279... that's exactly the same score

i have a feeling intel wont have a huge volume of them though, same as it happened with the 8700k when it launched. at least until December.

zen 2 being 12 cores has basically been confirmed since last year when an amd slide showed the next epyc cpu would have 48 cores

It's geekbench, I wouldn't worry about it. Wait for benchmarks that are a bit more realistic in there performance figures.

Nah, you're fine, the 8700K can still easily beat the shit out of the i7 9700K, especially since the 9700K doesn't get hyper threading.

 

I just upgraded to an 8700K as well, absolutely amazing chip, especially when OC'd to 5GHz.

i agree, real world uses will benefit the 8700K because of the hyperthreading
