Intel Reveals Initial 9000-Series Coffee Lake SKUs
Intel has recently published the specs for some of their initial 9000-series Coffee Lake SKUs. Like the prior 8000-series models, those parts appear to also be branded as “8th Generation Core”, thereby breaking the long-standing tradition of matching the Generation number with the SKU numbering scheme.
Specifications
Though we have known about Intel’s Coffee Lake Refresh plans for a while now, we finally have some initial specs.
| 9000-Series Specs | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model | TDP | S-Spec | C | Base | Turbo | Graphics | ||
| Tier | Base | Turbo | ||||||
| i3-9000 | 65 W | SR3XN | 4 | 3.7 GHz | 3.7 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.10 GHz |
| i3-9000T | 35 W | SR3ZC | 4 | 3.2 GHz | 3.2 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.10 GHz |
| i3-9100 | 65 W | SR3XQ | 4 | 3.7 GHz | 3.7 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.10 GHz |
| i5-9400 | 65 W | SR3X5 | 6 | 2.9 GHz | 4.1 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.05 GHz |
| i5-9400T | 35 W | SR3X8 | 6 | 1.8 GHz | 3.4 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.05 GHz |
| i5-9500 | 65 W | SR3XG | 6 | 3.0 GHz | 4.3 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.10 GHz |
| i5-9600 | 65 W | SR3X2 | 6 | 3.1 GHz | 4.5 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.15 GHz |
| i5-9600K | 95 W | SR3WZ | 6 | 3.7 GHz | 4.5 GHz | GT2 | 350 MHz | 1.15 GHz |
As with the prior 8000-series, all models are socket LGA-1151. Core i3s support up to dual-channel DDR4 memory with rates up to 2400 MT/s with the Core i5s supporting rates of up to 2666 MT/s. It’s currently not confirmed if any of those parts have hyper-threading enabled. However, since the L3 cache sizes are identical to their 8000-series counterparts, it’s strong evidence that SMT will not be enabled across the lineup.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9000-Series | 8000-Series | |||||||
| Model | Cores | Base | Turbo | Model | Cores | Base | Turbo | |
| i3-9000 | 4 | 3.7 GHz | 3.7 GHz | i3-8000 | 4 | 3.6 GHz | 3.6 GHz | |
| i3-9000T | 4 | 3.2 GHz | 3.2 GHz | i3-8000T | 4 | 3.1 GHz | 3.1 GHz | |
| i3-9100 | 4 | 3.7 GHz | 3.7 GHz | i3-8100 | 4 | 3.6 GHz | 3.6 GHz | |
| i5-9400 | 6 | 2.9 GHz | 4.1 GHz | i5-8400 | 6 | 2.8 GHz | 4.0 GHz | |
| i5-9400T | 6 | 1.8 GHz | 3.4 GHz | i5-8400T | 6 | 1.7 GHz | 3.3 GHz | |
| i5-9500 | 6 | 3.0 GHz | 4.3 GHz | i5-8500 | 6 | 3.0 GHz | 4.1 GHz | |
| i5-9600 | 6 | 3.1 GHz | 4.5 GHz | i5-8600 | 6 | 3.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz | |
| i5-9600K | 6 | 3.7 GHz | 4.5 GHz | i5-8600K | 6 | 3.6 GHz | 4.3 GHz | |
What’s clearly missing from the table are the rumored 8-core coffee lake parts but we do expect them to be announced at Gamescom at the end of August.
