The Core i5-9600KF 3.7 GHz Six-Core LGA 1151 Processor from
Intel is designed for gaming, creating, and productivity. It has a base clock
speed of 3.7 GHz and comes with features such as Intel Optane Memory support,
Intel Boot Guard, Intel VT-x and Intel VT-d virtualization technologies, Intel
TSX-NI, SSE4.1, 4.2, and AVX2 instruction set extensions, and more. With Intel
Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, the maximum turbo frequency this processor can
achieve is 4.6 GHz. Additionally, this processor features 6 cores with 6
threads in an LGA 1151 socket, has 9MB of cache memory, and 16 PCIe lanes.
Having 6 cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously
without slowing down the system, while the 6 threads allow a basic ordered
sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU
core. This processor also supports up to 128GB of dual-channel 2666 MHz DDR4
RAM and utilizes 9th-generation technology.
Intel did not design this processor with an integrated
graphics chipset, meaning that users will need to purchase a compatible and
dedicated graphics card of their choice. If you need even more performance,
this processor is unlocked, which lets you overclock the processor over its
maximum speed.
