Time is closing in for Intel to release the Core 9000 series processors. The flagship 8-core desktop mainstream processor, Intel’s Core i9-9900K was briefly spotted at Amazon. It’s not just that listing that caught interest, it displayed with a rather dandy packaging as well. Octagon anyone?
Intel’s pending eight-core 16-thread processor was listed for $582 and Twitter user @momomo_us posted a screenshot of it all. The listing probably entails a bit of price gouging as we do expect the proc to sit under the 500 USD range. At Amazon, you can see the new packaging, which does hint a bit AMD’ish with the Threadripper release packaging and all.
Amazon was listing the Core i9-9900K as out of stock and did not show a release or shipment date. The listing did confirm that the processor has at least one Turbo running up to 5.0 GHz.
