The following information has to be taken with tweezers because it is not officially confirmed, but at the next Computex we can expect the introduction of the next generation of the HEDT Intel Glacier Falls platform.

Intel Glacier Falls would be announced on Computex and alleged Core LGA 1151 without IGPU

The Intel Glacier Falls platform introduces future high-end desktop processors that are now available as Skylake-X. The best model is the 18-core Core i9-9980XE with up to 4.5 GHz and a price of approximately 2000 euros. After Basin Falls, Glacier Falls can be expected to arrive, the existence of which is known from a new leaked roadmap and could hit the market in the middle of next year.

In addition to Glacier Falls, we will meet other chipset sets, such as B365 Express and H310C Express. However, according to the designation, we should not expect major changes and would simply be overhauls at 22nm to free up some of Intel's manufacturing capacity at 14nm. There is also speculation that the Intel B365 will allow modifying the processor clock by multiplier, to catch up on AMD's B450.

New Intel Core 9 gen without iGPU?

There is also talk of the 9th generation Core processors with the KF or F tag, specifically the Core i9-9900KF, Core i7-9700KF, Core i5-9600KF, and Core i3-9350KF. On the F models it is speculated that they could come without integrated graphics, while the K models are expected to come with the multiplier unlocked for overclocking. The question is whether the processors will be manufactured without integrated graphics or just deactivated. Personally, I would bet on the second option that will allow Intel to also use the defective models in the iGPU section.

On the other hand, the physically absent iGPU could, in turn, greatly reduce the size of the entire processor and thus achieve higher performance per silicon wafer.
