The best gaming processor ever? Intel's Coffee Lake Refresh has arrived
9.10.2018
Translation: machine translated
The new generation of Intel processors shakes heads. The i7 arrives without Hyper-Threading and is demoted to a mid-range processor. On the other hand, the i9 fills the gap with 8 cores and 16 threads.
Intel presented the new ninth generation processors. It had been possible to find information about it on the net for some time already. What should I say? Yes, Intel is finally following suit and with the new Core i9-9900K also offers a desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. And at least on paper it looks like the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X will lose its throne in application benchmarks. It will also surpass the i7-8700K in terms of gaming benchmarks. Kings are dead. Long live the new king!
The New Processors
The new processors are compatible with the 300th generation chipset and the new Z390 motherboards. They come with USB 3.1 Gen 2, Thunderbolt 3 and Intel wireless AC support. Also on the chip is Intel's UHD Graphics 630.

if your motherboard has a chipset Z370 you can use the new processors with Bios update.

martin.jud@digitecgalaxus.chI find my muse in everything. When I don’t, I draw inspiration from daydreaming. After all, if you dream, you don’t sleep through life.
