Intel Core i9-9900K

LGA 1151, 3.60 GHz, 8 -Core

Product details

The ninth-generation Intel Core processors are called Coffee Lake-S Refresh. Besides a modified model series, one of the biggest novelties is the fact that the CPUs with free multiplier now get a soldered
heatspreader (IHS). This allows the waste heat to be dissipated more efficiently from the CPU, allowing higher clock rates to be achieved over a longer period of time.

The Intel Core i9-9900K is the new top model of the Core 9000 series and has eight cores with Hyper-Threading (SMT), so it can execute up to 16 threads simultaneously. The Enthusiastic CPU can also convince with increased clock rates and optimized boost functions compared to its predecessors. The TDP of the eight core is only 95 watts. The processor is compatible with Socket-1151 300 series mainboards.

With a base clock rate of 3.6 GHz, the Core i9-9900K offers a high clock rate that can be automatically increased as more power is needed. The corresponding turbo boost function clocks the processor cores according to the required power. For example, depending on the application or game requirements, the boost increases either one core up to 5.0 GHz or all cores up to 4.7 GHz. As a processor with a free multiplier, the Intel Core i9-9900K can also be freely overclocked.

The processor supports a maximum standard clock of 2.666 MHz for the DDR4 memory and the CPU supports the dual channel mode. Depending on the motherboard, RAM kits with significantly higher clock rates can also be used via overclocking. Intel continues to use the LGA 1151(v2) as the socket, making the ninth generation processors compatible with 300 series chipsets. For mainboards with Z370, H370 or B360 chipset a BIOS update may be necessary!

The Intel HD Graphics UHD 630 is used as the integrated graphics unit. With its 24 execution units, it offers more than enough graphics power for Intel Quick Sync, GPU computing and of course the occasional game in between. In addition, the DirectX 12 graphics unit with feature level 12_1, OpenGL 4.5 and OpenCL 2.0 also supports playback of 4K, UHD resolutions at 60 Hz via DisplayPort - assuming an appropriate mainboard.
