Intel 9th Gen Core "F" iGPU-Devoid Processor Family Launched, Confirmed to Lack iGPU
Intel finally disclosed specifications of its entire 9th generation Core "F" extension desktop processor SKUs. The ARK pages confirm the lack of integrated graphics solutions, although they won't mention if the iGPU is merely disabled or physically absent. Among these SKUs are the Core i9-9900KF, Core i7-9700KF, and Core i5-9600KF, which have the same exact CPU clock speeds as the the i9-9900K, i7-9700K, and i5-9600K, respectively.
The Core i3-9350K is a new kid on the block. This 4-core/4-thread chip ticks at 4.00 GHz, with 4.60 GHz Turbo Boost, and features 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-9400F, again, is practically the same CPU as the i5-9400, with the exception of iGPU. Another interesting specification to note with these SKUs is their maximum memory amount, which has been reduced to 64 GB from 128 GB on the original "K" SKUs. As Intel announced in its Monday evening presentation, These six new SKUs will be rolled out over Q1-2019, beginning with the i5-9400 later this month. The "KF" and "F" SKUs will only come out after January, but before April.

Not hard to choose, even before we see AMD's 7nm line.
I wouldn't get an AMD even if it was free. You can rate my post now
I have used AMD in years past, when I didn't know any better :P . I have family that works for Intel, I am in the NorthWest and Intel seems like "buying local". I put my few bucks on whomever I want, and Intel just happens to be the one I want for those reasons... and the fact that the CPU was $140 and does an amazing job!

I don't even know why 240hz monitors exists, AMD users says you can't spot the difference.
I'd be as willing to argue for Intel if the roles were reversed. I hope Intel does come back, but only after AMD has made enough money and gained enough market share to remain as a stable and serious competitor. We know now what to expect if they fail.
ALso did i mention that Intel is a scumbag company and I simply refuse to give them any money. And I dont even sacrifice any performance either :D (In fact I gain some) £150 for a 4 core 4 thread in 2019? Anyone? No Thanks I will take my 4 GHz 6 core 12 thread with 2x the multi-thread performance and similar gaming performance.) :D !
What I don't understand is the locked ones.
It looks like a way to eliminate stock before Zen2 arrives.
Check this! and remember my CPU is at 5Ghz... the one here is at stock speeds and is within 1 maybe 2 frames to the top.. and is even the top in a test @ 4K. does it get more demanding? I play all those games and any game in my 100+ game list on steam, my CPU is by far not the bottleneck in my computer.

I only game on my PC, I know it doesn't kill the marks for compute power for other things I never do so don't care, gaming is the goal for this machine and this CPU is more than enough. spending a dollar more for a CPU would have been a waste of money
The rest is just your opinion... they are both huge corporate companies and no neither are perfect, if you think so then you are more of a fanboi then I think you are already.oh it was a blast. I paid so little for it I had no problem going full send, took the lid off, liquid metal and maxed out the volts to push it up to 5.2Ghz for testing, runs smooth daily at 5Ghz and been running like that for over a year now.
Yes both are huge companies but Intel is objectively more scummy than AMD. Just look at their history of anti-competitive practises, and recently the plain lying about 2700X vs 9900K.
Honestly Intel fans are the ones playing the "my cpu gets one more FPS than yours". Yes i am an AMD fan but i am not unreasonable. :)
I wanted to delid. I didn't have to. at the time of building my machines AMD CPUs didn't overclock for the life of them, I get a lot of enjoyment out of building and playing with my system, so delidding it and doing all the things to max it out was a fun hobby. the benchmarks show that I could have just slapped it in and clocked it to 4.X and been more than fine. but again just something fun to do and I spent double the amount of money on my water cooling (we could go on and on about wasting money on PC parts that don't add a FPS LOL ).
It's not as if AMD is asking for charity. They're (amazingly) offering many-core chips that best Intel's products in almost every way. Their investors took the risk of funding one last chance at a CPU comeback, and their engineers stepped up to do it. Soon, with 7nm, they may sweep the field.
Just stop and think where we'd be without AMD's guts and commitment. Think how Intel held us back. I'm setting up a 2010 netbook to give away, and its single-core Atom processor is *painfully* slow. I have to wonder what my $500 would have bought then if there had been competition. No Intel for me, for a loooong time.
OK, now is it only me that reads this as "F*ck iGPU"?
I don't need a history lesson, I was running AMD back when a 2200+ was being compared to a Intel P4 3.0Ghz Prescott and even before then, it was the only time I jumped to AMD because for that time AMD had great priced CPUs for what little money I had in high school.
I am grateful for AMD and hope them the best. That doesn't mean I am going to buy them but I am glad people like you do, just wish you didn't have to spread so much hate. AMD is great because they make competition for Intel and they keep the prices stable if anything.
Intel is running a business, the spread more money on lawyers than AMD? surely. Legal is for the courts to decide and obviously for you to draw a conclusion/opinion over. I am sure you don't even know the half of it, nor do I, I still buy the products they sell though, oh well shame on me.
I just have no hate for either company, sorry just have no reason... no reason to burn flags just to make fire.
