Intel to launch 9th Gen Core CPUs with 8 and 6 cores in October 1st.

Mock up.

Based on Intel’s 14 nm manufacturing process, the collection includes 8 core and 6 core CPUs, including Core i9-9900K, the first mainstream desktop Core i9 chip.

The Core i9-9900K would feature  3.6 Ghz processor that could be boosted to 4.7 Ghz with all cores or 5 Ghz with only 1-2 cores, and would support up to 16 code threads.

The Core i7-9700K, on the other hand, would be the first mainstream 8 core processor. It would clock in at 3.6 Ghz and could be boosted up to 4.6 Ghz with all cores running or 4.9 Ghz.

Less exciting would be a range of mid-tier Core i5-9600K processor with six cores, six threads, a 3.7GHz base clock and a 4.3GHz boost with all cores (4.6GHz with one).

Rumors said Intel is going to refresh the line in late 2019 based on 10nm mfg process.
