It has been quite a few years since Intel decided to eliminate the solder between the IHS and the die of its processors for the LGA 1151 platform, for the benefit of the use of thermal paste, bad tongues say that to limit the overclocking capacity of these chips and force its users to update more frequently. This will change with the arrival of the first Core i9 9900K processor for the mainstream range.

Core i9 9900K will have the IHS soldered to improve temperatures and overclock

AMD has acted very differently from Intel with its Ryzen processors, which come with soldered IHS, so its heat dissipation is much better than with Intel processors, once again causing criticism from users of these last.

Techpowerup claims to have received reports that Intel plans, at least on its 8-core Core i9 Whiskey Lake processor LGA1151, a soldered IHS to improve heat dissipation and thereby the overclock margin. This processor will be the 8-core 16-core Core i9 9900K capable of reaching an operating frequency of between 3.60 and 5.00 GHz and 16 MB of L3 cache.

The introduction of the Core i9 extension in the main desktop segment could mean that Intel is creating a new price for this platform, which could be above the price of 300-350 euros that traditionally had the best Core i7 "K" of the previous generations. There is also talk that the Core i9 9900K could be released as early as August 1, 2018.

Without a doubt the return of the IHS soldered to the Intel processors would be the best news in a long time, well the second after the increase in cores for the LGA 1151 platform.
