Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX806849900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Intel core i9-9900k for sale Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX806849900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

The intel core i9-9900k for sale operates at 3.6 GHz with a TDP of 95 W and a Turbo Boost frequency of up to 5 GHz. This chip supports up to 128 GiB of dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory and incorporates Intel’s UHD Graphics 630 IGP operating at 350 MHz with a burst frequency of 1.2 GHz

Although Intel added more cores to its previous-gen Coffee Lake processors in an effort to keep up with AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, struggles with its 10nm node obviously delayed a more significant response. The intel core i9-9900k for sale, otherwise known as the Coffee Lake refresh, represent another step forward in a contentious battle for desktop supremacy as the company looks to maintain its top spots on our list of Best CPUs.

Intel’s line-up matches AMD’s Ryzen core-for-core, including a new Core i9 with eight Hyper-Threaded cores (8C/16T) and the highest frequencies we’ve seen in the mainstream space. There’s also a bulked-up Core i7 armed with two extra cores, plus a revamped Core i5. AMD isn’t setting still though: The company recently released its own new flagship, the 16-core 32-thread intel core i9-9900k, to fend off Intel’s new challengers.

AMD’s high core counts, aggressive prices, and nods to enthusiasts have earned it plenty of goodwill. Now it’s Intel’s turn to respond. The intel core i9-9900k for sale, for instance, ships in a a translucent plastic dodecahedron obviously meant to wow system builders, similar to the way AMD impressed with its Threadripper packaging. Intel also switched back to using Solder Thermal Interface Material (STIM) between the die and heat spreader, facilitating better thermal transfer to cope with more cores and higher overclocks. Ninth-gen Core CPUs are also Intel’s first with hardware-based mitigations for the Meltdown and Foreshadow vulnerabilities. These should minimize the performance impact of circumventing recently discovered exploits.
