Intel has launched its ninth-gen Core desktop processors, including the high-end Core i9-9900K, at an event in New York. On hand were several major PC brands, each showing off existing gaming desktops, newly configured with ninth-gen chips. But beyond those off-the-shelf machines, overclockers showed off massively overclocked chips, kept cool using liquid nitrogen.
Dell also recently announced a new laptop, the 15-inch Alienware m15, but mobile versions of the ninth-gen Intel CPUs will likely have to wait until next year.
A different HP Omen desktop, this time showing off the Nvidia GTX card inside. Intel's performance demo scores were based on the GTX 1080Ti, not the new RTX 2080 GPU.
A new version of an Asus desktop, now called the Strix GL12CX, which Asus has said will be available with both Core i7 and Core i9 ninth-gen Intel processors.
Intel showed off a long list of ninth-gen ecosystem parters, including PC makers and component companies. For example, Origin PC will offer the new Core i5/i7/i9 processors on not only gaming desktops, but also select gaming laptops, such as the EON17-X, which can be configured with full desktop CPUs, rather than laptop ones.
