As launch of the Intel 9th Generation, core processors gets closer and closer, more performance and overclocking previews (or leaks as we call them) are appearing on various Asian forums. The latest one shows the Core i7-9700K being pushed beyond 5 GHz on an air cooling setup and we also have a few performance benchmarks.

Intel Core i7-9700K Performance Benchmarks Leak Out - 8 Cores Faster Than The Core i7-8700K and Ryzen 7 2700X, Overclocked To 5.3 GHz on Air Cooling

The Intel Core i7-9700K processor is an 8 core and 8 thread part. The chip will have 12 MB of L3 cache and as you might tell, it has lower threads than the Core i7-8700K but comes with higher core count. In terms of clock speeds, the chip has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and boosts up to 4.9 GHz in single, 4.8 GHz indual-core, 4.7 GHz in four core and 4.6 GHz in 6/8 core operations. The TDP for this part is maintained at the same 95W.
