INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
be fooling us again when it launches its 9th Generation Intel Coffee Lake Refresh processors
Intel desktop CPUs will indeed be Coffee Lake Refresh.Aside from the name, Intel seems very intent on closing the gap between itself and AMD
However, Intel may also be introducing its first Core i7 part without hyper-threading to maximize clock speeds.Now those are just the
consensus on Coffee Lake Refresh launching towards the end of 2018, specifically around October
One report even specifically dates the launch of the first few Intel 9th generation CPUswill land on October 1 with the remainder of the
family arriving throughout the first quarter of 2019.Seemingly official presentation slides leaked out to the public, revealing the Intel
Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K, and Core i5-9600K will be among this first crop of processors to release in October 2018
After that, the next chip we can supposedly expect to arrive next will be the Intel Core i5-9400 in Q1 2019.Intel Coffee Lake Refresh

Going by the rumors, Intel appears to be instead focusing on high boost clocks across all its cores with the Core i7.The Core i9-9900K,

In theory, this purported gold-plated solder replacing the TIM will be a much more efficient heat transfer medium, which could lead to more
