The first mainstream Intel desktop i9 octacore, the Intel Core i9 9900K, has been spotted in 3DMark TimeSpy. This 8-core CPU is expected to launch before the end of the year, and if these early benchmarking results are anything to go on, it will likely lead the pack in terms of performance.
The results, spotted by regular leaker Tum Apisak on Twitter, show a unnamed Intel CPU 0000 running at 3.1GHz - assumedly the i9 9900K. The reported turbo clock of the chip is an impressive 5GHz, so you won’t be losing out on any single threaded performance with the move from six to eight cores, and maybe even gaining some extra oomph along the way.

And those two extra cores will net you a score of 9862 in 3DMark TimeSpy with a Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti. That’s divided up into a CPU score of 10,719; and a GPU score of 9,725. As the base clock is a little lower than previously expected - other leaks purported a base clock of 3.6GHz - the numbers might not be the final performance figures once this octacore chip launches.
The boost clock will reportedly be limited to just a couple of cores. However, as we’ve seen with a couple of Intel’s most recent chips, some motherboards might totally disregard the rules and boost all cores up to the top boost core turbo frequency outlined on the box. One such board is the Asus ROG Strix Z370-F, which will kick the i7 8700K to 4.7GHz across the board, and is also the board used in this very 3DMark entry, too.
