Intel i7 9700K and i9 9900K leaks showcase insane core Turbo speeds

Intel’s upcoming 9000 series of processors is probably the worst kept secret in the PC industry. We already know that the series is a Coffee Lake refresh and that the series’ maximum core count has been upped from six to eight, equalising Intel’s high-end core count to match AMD’s Ryzen offerings.  

Today, courtesy of Benchlife.info, we have leaked boost clock tables for both Intel’s i7-9700K and i9-9900K, revealing high boost clock speeds for both single-threaded and 8-threaded workloads, maxing out at 4.9GHz and 5.0GHz respectively on Intel’s i7 and i9 CPUs. 

Moving to 8-core boost clocks, we can see that Intel’s latest offerings can maintain clock speeds that are over 4.5GHz, with the i7 offering 8-core boost clocks of 4.6GHz while the i9 offers 8-core boost clocks of 4.7GHz, both of which are staggeringly high for a modern, non-overclocked processor. 

Intel’s advantage over AMD is their ability to offer higher single-core clock speeds, something which Intel plans to leverage with their upcoming 9000 series processors.

Intel’s 9000 series processors are expected to release in late September alongside new Z390 series motherboards, which will ship with native support for Intel’s latest processors. All of today’s 300-series will offer support for 9000-series CPUs through BIOS updates.
