Skylake X is a lot different, starting with a larger package.More cores? Skylake-X is using TIM.

I doubt it was done for any reason other than to get more cores and higher clocks to work within the current node and packaging.
If it's soldered...lolz, and here comes the "Rolls-Royce" Intel Core i9-9980XE.
get your wallets ready!!!
You can't compare apples to oranges. If you are overclocking the 8700K, then you have to overclock the 9900K.More like marketing. It's not going to be any faster than an overclocked 8700K in games (and really an overclocked 8600K), so gotta have something I guess.
9600K being solder would make me think it could be a cut 8 core.
Cheaper at Amazon:i9-9900K is $529.99 at B&H for preorder.

No, it won't have the silicon fixes. I don't think that was ever even suggested for CFL-R.I doubt you will get much over 5, maybe 5.2 or 5.3. Which is within the range of Coffee Lake gets.
I do want to know if it is including the Smeltdown fixes that Whiskey Lake has. My guess is no, esp since Skylake-X refresh won't.
Well, I am not sure if you've seen this: https://wccftech.com/intel-core-x-b...re-i9-9980xe-and-skylake-x-28-core-confirmed/
If this is to be believed, then the i9-9900K will have in fact 10 cores.
The larger package that fits up to 125% more cores than CFL-R will?Skylake X is a lot different, starting with a larger package.
Why would the 9900X have anything to do with the 9900K?Well, I am not sure if you've seen this: https://wccftech.com/intel-core-x-b...re-i9-9980xe-and-skylake-x-28-core-confirmed/
If this is to be believed, then the i9-9900K will be in fact the i9-9900X and will have in fact 10 cores.
So maybe they have soldered those too?The larger package that fits up to 125% more cores than CFL-R will?
The same Skylake-X that had problems with being thermally limited while overclocking even with very good water cooling? If anything TIM on Skylake-X was a real showcase of how not to present high performance CPUs to the enthusiast market. (not talking about professionals, they would mostly stick to stock clocks anyway)
I hope they will, once solder is back in the premium mainstream SKUs I would expect it to be back in the all-premium HEDT segment.So maybe they have soldered those too?
Why would the 9900X have anything to do with the 9900K?
Because someone in the marketing dep. might have had the brilliant idea of skipping the 8000 SKL-X series and align mainstream and HEDT, which would have been great if not for the fact that i9 branding added new numbers in the SKU list, creating the overlap.Would Intel have a K and an X processors with the same number?
I don't see why they couldn't.Would Intel have a K and an X processors with the same number?
Yes, they could go with 8980XE and so on.I should add that Skylake-X Refresh is likely to be branded 8th gen; since they are still at this point intending to release Cascade Lake-X next year.
More cores? Skylake-X is using TIM.
PL2 on Coffee Lake Refresh 8 cores is something like 210 W.
PL2 is always 1.25 * PL1, at stock.
Has been since Haswell, or possibly even earlier.
PL1 = TDP, which for 9900K is supposed to still be 95W.
Intel's been jacking up the PL2. I believe the stock PL2 on the quad core 15 W parts is like 44 or something.
Google translate for English speakers: We took solder from you when competition ceased to exist. Now that things are messy again we bring it back and admit it has tangible benefits. Game with confidence!
