Leak reveals Intel Core i9 processors coming this June

Leaked documents reveal that Intel is planning to launch a new series of CPUs this June. This will be the first time that Intel is announcing a higher-end Core i9 processor with some variants having 12 cores and 24 threads.

This is a major push for Intel and could be announced as early as June and released sometime in August. Here are the Core i9 processors identified so far:

Intel Core i9-7920X
12 Cores, 24 Threads
16.5MB L3
44 PCIe lanes
Clocks TBD (August Launch)

Intel Core i9-7900X
10 Cores, 20 Threads
13.75MB L3
44 PCIe Lanes
3.3GHz Base
4.3GHz Turbo 2.0
4.5GHz Turbo 3.0

Intel Core i9-7820X
8 Cores, 16 Threads
11MB L3
28 PCIe Lanes
3.6GHz Base
4.3GHz Turbo 2.0
4.5GHz Turbo 3.0

Intel Core i9-7800X
6 Cores, 12 Threads
8.25MB L3
28 PCIe Lanes
3.5GHz Base
4.0GHz Turbo 2.0

The documents also point to a new batch of Intel Core i7 processors as well.

Intel Core i7-7740K
4 Cores, 8 Threads
8MB L3
16 PCIe Lanes
4.3GHz Base
4.5GHz Turbo 2.0

Intel Core i7-7640K
4 Cores, 4 Threads
6MB L3
16 PCIe Lanes
4.0GHz Base
4.2GHz Turbo 2.0

– L2 cache = 1MB (Skylake-X), 4x as much as Core i7-7700K
– Dual DDR4-2666 for Kaby Lake-X / Quad DDR4-2666 for Skylake-X
– 112W for Kaby Lake-X / up to 140W for Skylake-X
– Apparently, all Core i9 parts support AVX-512 (TBC)
– Launch in June, except 7920X (August)
