Intel's 9th gen desktop CPUs leak online
Just a 100-200MHz frequency bump
Following the leak that Intel will be releasing Coffee Lake-based six- and eight-core parts as its new 9000-series 9th generation CPUs, more details have shown up online revealing a minor 100MHz to 200MHz frequency bump across the lineup.
.. the data shows that these are pretty much the same as the 8th generation 8000-series SKUs with a minor frequency bump.
Sales data is inconclusive but seems to indicate that AMD and Intel are virtually tied for sales to those who build their own PCs. Of course, Intel has brand name recognition and contracts with PC manufacturers; so. overall it sells a lot more. The virtual equality is among those who have choice and know the facts about what they are buying.
