Intel is preparing to launch its first wave of 9th generation Core processors in the third quarter of this year. For now, the arrival of three models is expected, the Core i5-9600K 6-core and 6-core, the Core i7-9700K 8-core and 8-core, the Core i9-9900K 8-core and 16-core.

New details on pricing for new Intel CPUs

One of the biggest concerns for users is the possible price increase with this new generation, because for the first time we are going to see a Core i9 processor within the mainstream segment. This generation will also be important for being the first to introduce Core i7 processors without HyperThreading technology.

BizGram, a Singapore-based PC component distributor has revealed in its latest catalog the retail prices of the three new processors. As Reddit's Dylan522p suggests, if the SGD-USD conversion is done and all taxes are subtracted, we get that Intel could put the Core i5-9600K to sell for $ 249.99, the Core i7-9700K for $ 349.99, and the Core i9-9900K for $ 449.99. These prices are without taxes, so in the case of the Spanish market we should add at least 21% VAT.

A price of $ 250 before tax would put the Core i5-well above the price of the current Ryzen 5 2600X, the processor with which it must compete in the market. The Core i7-9700K would become the best processor to play in, although the difference in performance shouldn't be too big with the cheaper Ryzen 7 2700X. On the other hand, the Core i9-9900K would be almost reserved for enthusiasts with its 16MB L3 cache and its 16-thread multithreading advantage.

What do you expect from the new Intel processors?
