Intel lifted the lid on their 9th Gen desktop processors this afternoon, giving us a glimpse of what’s coming next after their current crop of 8th Gen Coffee Lake chips. Leading the pack is their flagship Intel Core i9-9900K, an 8-core, 16-thread CPU that can Turbo Boost all the way up to 5.0GHz.
However, the news comes little over a week after Intel’s CFO and interim CEO Bob Swan issued an open letter to customers and partners warning of an imminent CPU shortage due to increasing “pressure on [Intel’s] factory network.” If you’re thinking about building a PC any time soon, you might want to grab one of Intel’s current Coffee Lake processors now instead (or, indeed, one of AMD’s rather good Ryzen+ CPUs) before they disappear for the foreseeable future.
