So anybody with an i7-9700K almost instantly has a collectors item because in its refresh its been renamed to the i9-9700K but is NOT faster but it is a K so should be i9? Ok whomever Intel has hired for marketing and naming these CPUs is not very smart...
Intel has a major problem coming when Zen2 launches and it is not going to be pretty. If Zen2 is anything like it is being hyped to be, Intel will have to jump through some hoops and pray to every deity in existence to catch up... And yet in the face of competition they are stuttering big time.
Oh Intel is underestimating AMD on this refresh a bit to much in my opinion. If this refresh replaced all the 6-core parts with 8-core parts, the 4-cores parts become 6-core parts, and the 2-core parts disappeared they would have a nice refresh using the same technology.

i9-9700K is probably a typo. Can't find any info on the ARK website, and it's not marked as "New SKU" on press slide.dullard - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
Correct, it is just a typo. They are i7-9700K.WickedMONK3Y - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link

I'm telling you intel, name the processors something easier like "Fast, Faster, Fastest, Ludicrous speed".LMonty - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
I prefer the speed settings in Johnny English's "wheelchair" : FAST, V.FAST and F.FAST. 😆FreckledTrout - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link

Only 8 Cores what a piece of garbage. Slow And an energy hog ... I guess it is a AMD for my next desktop.Mazarax - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
Do mobile i9 cpus have AVX512?SanX - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
Do all these "refreshed" Intel processors have avx512? Will next gen AMD chips have avx512?coschizza - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
no avx512 to intel and no to amd
