This year Intel has announced many new series of processors like new 8th generation Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. Recently Intel has also launched new models of Pentium and Celeron processor.
Apart from these processors, Intel has also launched Core i9 processors few weeks ago, which is the best processor available in the market right now in terms of performance. It is based on Skylake architecture which is a 7th generation processor’s architecture and 14 nm fabrication process.
Intel Core i9 is a fifth PC processor family series, starting with Intel Core m, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and now Core i9.
Core i9 is a high-end processor which would not be suitable, if you do normal tasks like simple gaming, photo editing, emailing, video watching etc. But if you heavy duty tasks like 3-D video & photo rendering, 3-D gaming etc. Then definitely, you can switch to Core i9 processor. When we do processor comparison between Core i9 and other processors we find although Core i9 is better in performance but at the same time, it is quite expensive.
Unfortunately Core i9 doesn’t contain any integrated graphics. You will also need a new Socket R4, a 2066 pin LGA socket mother board as Core i9 will not be compatible with you existing mother board’s socket.
So, below are the specifications of few models of Core i9 processors
- Core i9-7900 | (3.3 GHz base frequency, with upto 4.5 GHz turbo boost/ burst frequency) | 10 cores/ 20 threads
- Core i9-7920 | (3.1 GHz, 4.4 GHz turbo/ burst frequency) | 12 cores/ 24 threads
- Core i9-7940 | (3.1 GHz, 4.4 GHz turbo/ burst frequency) | 14 cores/ 28 threads
- Core i9-7960 | (2.8 GHz, 4.4 GHz turbo/ burst frequency) | 16 cores/ 32 threads
- Core i9-7980 | (2.6 GHz, 4.4 GHz turbo/ burst frequency) | 18 cores/ 36 threads
The power consumption by these models would range from 112 W to 165 W depending upon model number.
