Weighing in with a base clock speed of 3.7GHz and the ability to push that up to 4.6GHz when needed - Unprecedented speed for this price point that runs through 6 cores and 6 threads while maintaining the stability of 95 TDP. 3.70 GHz 4.60 GHz 6 / 6 9MB 14nm Base Clock Boost Clock Cores / Threads Cache Technology 9th Generation Intel Core i5 Processor 9th Generation Intel processors have introduced the new Solder Thermal Interface Material (STIM) for a more efficient heat transfer that gives greater control over temperatures when overclocking and using your PC for long periods of time. Perfect for the power user or expert gamer who demand lower temperatures under heavy use. Fine tune your overclock with the free Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) to get the maximum performance. The i5 9600K uses 14nm architecture and a 9MB cache for a balanced performance that doesn’t break the bank. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology brilliantly accelerates processor and graphics performance for peak loads and helps the CPU distribute power through the cores. As Hyper Threading has been turned off for the new range, the boost you get from the Turbo feature does not overheat the processor. DirectX 12 Support helps with optimization when running large apps and even 4K content at 60Hz. Product Collection 9th Generation Intel Core i5 Integrated Graphics Intel® UHD Graphics 630 Perfect for Serious gamers and content creators Overclocking Unlocked, requires a Z-series motherboard for overclocking 4K UHD with Intel 9th Gen Stream 4K UHD video content, get immersed in Virtual Reality, and play the most demanding AAA games.
