There were plenty of rumors and leaks regarding them prior to the launch event today but here they are: Intel has finally announced the 9th Generation Intel Core processor lineup for the desktop market. The new batch of processors was introduced alongside the 9th Gen Intel Core X-series and the 28-core Intel Xeon W-3175X CPUs.
Leading the new group of products is the Intel Core i9-9900K and yes, it will indeed come with that multi-sided translucent packaging. Featuring 8-cores and 16-threads capability, Intel stated that the Core i9-9900K is the company’s first ever mainstream chip with such processing setup.
Not only that, the company also claimed that the Core i9-9900K is the world’s best gaming processor which is quite a bold claim.
