Intel Core i7-9700K Processor

This Intel Core i7-9700K desktop processor delivers 8 cores and 8 threads with a base frequency of 3.60 GHz and a maximum turbo of 4.90 GHz. It features 12 MB of cache and a 95 W thermal design power. The LGA1151 socket requires a motherboard based on the Intel 300 Series chipset.

Suited for new 300 Series builds

This unlocked CPU suits builders assembling a new system on a 300 Series motherboard who want high single-thread speed and eight physical cores. It is not for anyone using an older chipset or a board that does not explicitly support 9th Generation Intel Core processors. Cooling must be sourced separately as no thermal solution is included.
