dam that i9 is a beast - but yea not much of an upgrade from 8 gen.. and imo pretty weird i7, from 6/12 to 8/8? if u want 8/16 if have to go i9.. hmm..
havent looked into this.. u know if they run on 300 chipsets or require new? and will the i9 have its own
The i9-9900k, will just be the replacement of i7 in the top of consumer CPUs. It will run on same chips with the rest of the line-up.
It will be compatible with the previous 300 series chipset through a BIOS update. An i9-9900k can even run on an H310, Asrock leaked this by a mistake 20 days ago
There will probably be a i9-9900x in the enthusiasts next year. Gonna be quite confusing soon.
Already is with AMD stealing the chipset naming scheme
B150, B250 and B350 is for intel. B450 is for AMD.
