Intel Core i9-9900K, i7-9700K and i5-9600K appear in Pricewatch
The ninth generation Intel Core processors have appeared in the Pricewatch. Intel has not yet officially announced the CPUs, but an online store states that they will be available from September 7th.
Both the Core i9-9900K, the i7-9700K and the i5-9600K are listed at an online store. The top model has a price of 833 euros, but that is probably not the real suggested retail price, which is probably lower. The prices mentioned are often higher if products appear in web shops too early.
The processors are not yet available, but the relevant store reports that the i9-9900K will be in stock from September 7. Earlier rumors stated that the new Intel processors would be available from October.
The three processors are the first Core CPUs of the ninth generation. Like those of the eighth generation, they are made on a 14nm process and are suitable for the lga1151 socket. It is the first time that Intel has released an octacore for this socket and it is also the first time that the i7 no longer has HyperThreading.
Slides from Intel previously showed that the CPUs get a soldered heat spreader, which should ensure lower temperatures and therefore more overclocking potential.

Update 15:17: The table stated that the CPUs have 16 PCI-e lanes, based on previously leaked information. Slides from Intel state that the processors have ‘up to 40 pcie lanes’. It is not yet clear exactly how this works, so the information has been removed from the table.
