Is there going to be a Core i9 Intel processor?

[Ash Ish]

I was planning to buy a new pc for may professional rendring softwares and testing games and had decided to go with an i7 4770K processor but one of my friend said that Intel soon will be releasing a Core i9, 12 core, 24 thread processor.
Is that true?
Even if is true, is the i9 processor worth waiting?

 

[Mac266]

i doubt it

 

[i7Baby]

No. Some people have thought there will be over the past decade. But its never eventuated. And there's no plans for anything other than an i7 from Intel.

if you got the money you can buy this
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2 2.7GHz 12-Core Processor ($2534.98 @ SuperBiiz)

Who would want a wimpy 12 core cpu when you could get a 15 core monster!!!

I ain't that filthy rich to buy a 'Xeon E5 2697 V2'. 2000$ is a damn big amount. I was thinking of a much cheaper i7 4770k. Is there anything wrong with it?

 

[MalakiArtook]

No, for 95% of applications it is the better option.

For use of an i7 with general gaming and online browsing you are wasting your money, if you plan on 3D modeling and hardcore game development you're looking in the wrong section for performance, that would be GPU, for video encoding you would want the robust processing performance of the i7 or an FX by AMD both are equally matched for encoding capability. In my opinion you can OC an i5 to higher clocks and retain the lower heat generation, but the FX 8-core of mine, (FX-8320) i have liquid cooled at 5Ghz with a peak of 60C and a low of 23C. 1.4875VDC on the CPU and hardly any heat build up,. The i7 would turn your room into a sauna after an hour at 5Ghz over clocking.

i3 = Great platform for mid range laptops and introductory desktops
i5 = perfect for anything shy of data crunching
i7 = The Hollywood of Intel (cuz its for encoding... get it?... nvm)

The old adage that AMD is a nuclear heat producer is true, to the ways of the old, like the old Phenom and Athlon series, i had a Phenom II 985 BE that i OC to 4.2Ghz easily cooled it on air, under the highest loads it never broke 48C, and the new FX series i only ever got to break 70C after over volting it for 5.5Ghz and that was WITHOUT a bus clock modification, just the multiplier. So yeah, it heated up, and fast!

Thank you for not being a peasant of Intel and claiming it to be a 30 core. HyperThreading only gives me Hypertension when people think it means REAL cores.

Why are you replying to a solved thread that has been dead for nearly a year?

 

[fuckfuck]

I dont think there will ever be a core i9. The pc cooler silenx is a cpu cooler my friend owns and the box says the cooler supports the core i9.

 

[synphul]

If it does in fact say that, they put the cart before the horse since an i9 doesn't exist.

 

[Nafryti]

from what i stumbled upon, the i9 was a Server CPU, possibly a revision of a Xeon.

Why go for a pussy 15 core when you can get a 18 core like this http://cplonline.com.au/index.php/intel-18-core-xeon-e5-2699v3-2-3ghz-45mb-cache-9-6gt-sec-36-threads-lga-2011.html?___store=default&gclid=CjwKEAiA0uGmBRDwj7mE1v-LlCYSJADxH16O-xOajNsX2EkCvKukpbdp8ytgkDzEjAXUgMZPBj4g_BoCzvDw_wcB

Wow u are all far back in 5 billion b.c. What you want is a BEASTLY 72 core processor, quite cheap:

This is how i put it

Celeron: Good for internet surfing and small games such as minecraft and older games
Pentium: Good for surfing the web and can handle some heavier games (not heavy, heavier) and the g3258 can be overclocked, so yeah...
i3: Will work for gaming, even heavy as long as you turn down particle density and other CPU heavy stuff.
i5: Will handle every game you throw at it, extremely heavy CPU games is an exception (and video editing), but other than that it's the best you should buy for gaming.
i7: Will handle everything above plus any CPU heavy game.
Xeon: Will be able to handle most of the stuff the i7 can handle, but is more suited for servers and workstations.

I didn't include the intel atom in since is it's not a processor you can upgrade... But it is very well suited for smaller portable devices.
