Intel Core i7-9700K info is out, 8-cores and no Hyper-Threading

El Chapuzas Informatico published a review of Coffee Lake Refresh processor almost 3 weeks ahead of expected launch.

Apparently, they managed to secure an engineering sample of yet unreleased Intel Core i7-9700K processor and thought it would be a good idea to test it. The CPU only managed to hit 5.0 GHz at 1.4V, which is probably not as high as we expected. Gaming has always been a strong point for Intel CPUs and their Core i7 is once again dominating the charts with the best in class performance. Do mind that we haven’t even seen the flagship chip in action yet. In all games tested which include Battlefield 1, Rise of the Tomb Raider, DOOM, Far Cry 5, Resident Evil 7 and Total War: Warhammer 2, the Core i7-9700K easily outclassed all other CPUs. 8 more threads on the 2700X, now Intel has their own 8 core and 16 thread Core i9-9900K part coming out which will be competing against the Ryzen CPU in that high-performance, multi-tasking heavy bench fest.
