At the CES 2019 event, Intel has revealed the new line-up of 9th generation of desktop CPU - i3-9350KF, i5-9400F, i5-9400, i5-9600KF, i7-9700KF and i9-9900KF models along with its plans for the expansion of its current line of 9th generation desktop processors.

The most high-end version is the octa-core Core i9-9900KF CPU that is similar to the existing Core i9-9900K CPU by Intel. Similar to the Core i9 product, the Core i7-9700KF and the Core i5-9600KF are also identical and very similar to their existing counterparts in the same series of CPUs.

Intel 9th Gen Core Desktop CPU - i3-9350KF, i5-9400F, i5-9400, i5-9600KF, i7-9700KF and i9-9900KF

Intel Core i3-9350KF is an overclocked Quad-Core processor without graphics and hyperthreading. It has a 4.0 GHz base frequency and a 4.6 GHz turbo frequency. The Core i5-9400F is a hexa-core processor and comes without hyperthreading or integrated graphics. It features a 2.9 GHz base frequency and a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency.

Most of the models in the new line-up of 9th generation of desktop CPU are based on the same 14nm process with the Coffee Lake microarchitecture. The chip that lacks the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU is suffixed by an “F” on the product name as an indication.


The higher chipsets Core i9-990KF, i7-9700KF, and i5-9600KF all come with the same core counts, threads, base and boost frequencies, TDPs, and cache allocations. The low-end model Core i3-8100F comes with four cores and threads, a static 3.6 GHz frequency, and 6MB of L3 cache.

The Mobile processors based on the Core 9th Gen will come in Q2, 2019.
