“Our goal is to deliver leadership performance across all
computing segments and product lines,” said Anand Srivatsa, vice
president and general manager, Desktop, Systems and Channel, within
the Client Computing Group at Intel. “Today’s announcements
underscore our ability to do exactly that, including, hands-down,
the world’s best processor for gaming. Whether a gamer, a creator
or an expert using the most advanced workstation applications
possible, Intel and our partners are focused on delivering balanced
platforms with real-world leadership performance and robust
capabilities that exceed their needs.”
Let the Games Begin
The 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900K is the world’s best processor
for gaming1. It brings an exceptional level of performance to the
desktop product line, signified by the first Intel Core i9 brand in
the mainstream desktop segment. All three of the 9th Gen Intel Core
processors unveiled today (i5-9600K, i7-9700K and i9-9900K) enable
fast, immersive experience for gamers, with up to 8 cores and 16
threads, up to 5.0 GHz single-core turbo frequency2, and 16 MB
Intel Smart Cache.
9th Gen Intel Core desktop processors deliver amazing
performance, including unlocked3 “K” SKUs at each brand level and
up to 40 platform PCIe 3.0 lanes for system expandability for
gaming, creating and overclocking3. Improvements in this generation
include:
- Enabling more than 220 FPS on three of
the most popular global PC game titles4.
- With Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
delivering up to 5.0 GHz single-core frequency, gamers can enjoy
their favorite games with up to 10 percent5 more FPS across popular
gaming titles compared with the previous generation, as well as up
to 37 percent more FPS compared to a 3-year-old PC6.
- Capture game play, transcode and stream
while playing. With this type of megatasking, gamers can enjoy up
to 11 percent7 more FPS compared with the previous generation and
up to 41 percent more FPS compared with a 3-year-old PC8.
- Video editing improved on Adobe
Premiere* – Up to 34 percent9 faster video editing compared with
the previous generation and up to 97 percent faster compared with a
3-year-old PC10.
- Overall system performance improved up
to 15 percent better as compared with previous generation and up to
40 percent as compared with a 3-year-old PC11.
- Overclock3 these new processors with
the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU), a precision tool
for advanced overclocking, and take advantage of the additional
thermal headroom with solder thermal interface material
(STIM).
To realize the full potential of the new 9th Gen Intel Core
processor, Intel is introducing the new Intel® Z390 chipset. The
Intel Z390 chipset includes high-speed integrated USB 3.1 Gen 2 and
integrated Intel® Wireless-AC with support for Gigabit Wi-Fi speed.
The 9th Gen Intel Core processors are also compatible with all
Intel® 300 Series chipset motherboards for more consumer
options.
Preorders for the 9th Gen Intel Core processors and Intel Z390
chipset motherboards begin today from a variety of global vendors
and retailers.
Ultimate PC Platform for Creators and Experts
Intel also announced seven (i7-9800X, i9-9820X, i9-9900X,
i9-9920X, i9-9940X, i9-9960X and i9-9980XE) new Intel Core X-series
processors for Intel’s most scalable desktop platform with a
variety of core counts and I/O capabilities, as well as details on
the Intel Xeon W-3175X processor. Designed with high frequencies
and platform features for both lightly threaded and heavily
threaded workloads, these processors are designed to handle the
most demanding tasks and applications. Both products are built on
the Intel® Mesh Architecture, which increases memory and I/O
bandwidth, while decreasing latency – a critical need for the
demanding workloads of creators and experts.
The new Intel Core X-series processors offer scalable options
ranging from 8 to 18 cores with premium performance and platform
technologies that help creators turn their imaginations into
realities. With up to 18 cores, 36 threads, 24.75 MB Intel Smart
Cache, and up to 68 platform PCIe lanes, Intel Core X-series
processor-based systems enable creators to quickly and
simultaneously record, encode, edit, render and transcode.
With Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 delivering up to 4.5
GHz12 single-core frequency, the most critical workloads can be
directed to the processor’s two fastest cores, optimizing for
lightly threaded performance when necessary. This means customers
do not have to make a tradeoff between choosing a processor for
lightly threaded or heavily threaded workloads.
Intel Core X-series processors will also enable software
developers to write applications that take advantage of Intel®
AVX-512 instructions to accelerate computing performance for
parallel workloads.
For the select, highly threaded and computing-intensive
applications such as architectural and industrial design and
professional content creation, Intel will deliver the unlocked3
Intel® Xeon® W-3175X processor. This new 28-core Intel Xeon
processor was built with real-world performance in mind for these
large, intensive workloads with up to 4.3 GHz13 single-core turbo
frequency, 56 threads and unlocked for those who want to push
performance even higher. This platform also provides 38.5 MB Intel
Smart Cache, 6-channel DDR4 memory support with up to 512 GB at
2666 MHz, and ECC and standard RAS support.
The new Intel Core X-series processors will be available in
November; the Intel Xeon W-3175X processor will ship from Intel in
December.
To celebrate the launch of the new 9th Gen Intel Core
processors, Intel is hosting the 9th Gen Intel Core i9 Processor
Dreamstakes to give away nine unique, once-in-a-lifetime VIP trips
to world-class esports and gaming events, including Intel Extreme
Masters, the Overwatch League*, ESL One* and the NBA2K* League. In
addition, thousands of digital codes for some of the most popular
games will be given away with this sweepstakes. Visit
corei9.intel.com to view official rules and enter for a chance to
win starting on Nov. 5, 2018.

footage recorded at a bit rate of approximately 80 Mbps. The input
file sizes total 1.90 GB. The video stream is 3840x2160 (4K) in
H.264 format with a framerate of 29.97 FPS. The audio stream is
1536 Kbps, 48.0 KHz, 16 bit Stereo in WAV format. The performance
test measures the time to export the entire clip to a 4K H.264 MP4
format. The output is a high quality 4K video file.
