MSI confirms 9th-gen Core processors that Intel hasn't announced yet - gomeztriated
MSI confirmed in a news Charles William Post on Midweek that several of its Z370 motherboards are receiving updates to support Intel's 9000-series processors. But here's the thing: Intel hasn't proclaimed whatsoever 9000-serial processors.
Awkward.
Rumors of a 6-center Core i5-9600K, an 8-core Heart i7-9700K, and an 8-core Core i9-9900K chip with hyperthreading enabled have run vertical over the past month, and MSI's slip substantiates that something is on the way, though the announcement doesn't include core counts for Intel's chips.

It's not the only concrete evidence though: Core i7-9700K benchmarks made an appearance in SiSoftware Sandra's database. Soon thereafter, a 3DMark Time Spy entry showed an 8-heart, 16-thread Intel chip striking 5GHz speeds and solidly superior the 8-pith AMD Ryzen 7 2700X's scores in the test.
Intel hasn't uttered a peep about 9000-series chips, so there's nary official word on when they'll release anything. The current rumor mill about points towards a September set up, however, and IT can't be that far off if MSI published a compatibility update for the chips. At Computex, Intel same that new processors will be available before the terminate of 2018.
We discussed the Intel 9th-gen rumors in the most recent episode of our Full Swot podcast. Jump to the 37:40 mark in the video embedded downstairs to check it out.
Why this matters: If the rumors and leaks hold true, these volition be the first 8-core CPUs in Intel's mainstream consumer card. In the wake of 8th-gen "Chocolate Lake" chips requiring an climb to rising motherboards owing to power concerns, some the great unwashe worried that the 9000-series chips would exist limited to motherboards using Intel's upcoming high-end Z390 chipset alone. But between this MSI post touting Z370 BIOS updates and a Videocardz wetting showing an ASRock H310 motherboard loge advertising support for 8-core CPUs, IT seems liable that all 8th-gen motherboards were organized from the ground risen to support the increased power demands that extra cores bring—even if those cores so hit 5GHz like the 6-core Core i7-8086K.

But there's a reasonableness we wear't deal conjecture often: While MSI's post and the pair of leaked benchmarks lend credence to the Holocene put off of Core i7-9700K and Core i9-9900K rumors, nothing's official until Intel makes formal intersection announcements.
