In what is a pretty difficult to translate article, Asia based HKEPC claims to have spoken with motherboard manufacturers, and discovered that Intel’s upcoming 9th generation processors will again see a Ryze (pun) in processor cores.
With current Coffee lake Intel already stepped things up towards with up-to 6 cores on the 8000 series, for the 9000 series this would become up-to 8-cores. According to the rumor, all series i3/ i5 and i7 will get hyper-threading as well (for selected SKUs).
This kind of confirms what we have been hearing for a while now, that Z390 chipset that was rumored for a release late this year? Well, if the info came from motherboard partners, as HKEPC states, then these motherboard partners are apparently already hard at work on Z390. We know for a fact that Z390 will support, what is supposed to be a derivate from coffee lake, 8-core processors and that would be cannon lake.
