Intel Core i9-9900K 8 Core Flagship CPU’s 3DMark Timespy Benchmark Leaks Out – Stock Clocked 9900K Faster Than an Overclocked Ryzen 2700X-April 2024-www.yitit.com

More performance results of the Intel Core i9-9900K flagship 8 core processor have leaked out. This time, we are looking at the 3DMark Timespy benchmark (via TUM APISAK) which lists down scores of the processor in both stock and overclocked configurations.

Intel Core i9-9900K Flagship 8 Core CPU Tested in 3DMark Timespy Benchmark - Faster Than An Overclocked Ryzen 2700X at Stock Clocks

Yesterday, we got to see the first media review of the Core i7-9700K and a day before that, we saw many Geekbench 4 benchmarks of the entire unlocked 9th Generation processor lineup. The CPUs are still some time away from their official launch and many reviewers and overclockers already have their hands on the processors and Z390 motherboards. Some of the earlier benchmarks we got to see were posted by motherboard manufacturers themselves who forgot to pull off the plug from the internet where the results got listed (accidentally).

Before we talk about the performance results, we should take a look at the Core i9-9900K CPU and its specifications.

Intel Core i9-9900K, Intel’s First 8 Core Mainstream CPU With 4.7 GHz All 8 Core Boost Frequency, Faster Than Intel’s 8086K Anniversary Edition In All Possible Ways

The Intel Core i9-9900K is the flagship SKU of the 9th Generation Core family. This will be the first mainstream desktop Core i9 part and also the first Intel chip to boast 8 cores and 16 threads. In terms of cache, the chip will feature 16 MB of L3 and will come with an Intel UHD 620 graphics chip.

The clock speeds are something to check out here, we are going to get a 3.6 GHz base clock out of the box and a 5.0 GHz boost clock in single and dual core operations. 4 core boost is rated at 4.8 GHz while 6/8 core boost is rated at 4.7 GHz. This is the highest frequency we have seen on an 8 core part across all cores. All of this is done under a 95W package so we can expect some hefty cooling solutions to go along with this chip.
