Intel Core i7-9700F
The graphics-less version of Intel's Core i7-9700 for LGA1151: eight cores and eight threads at 3.0 GHz base and up to 4.7 GHz turbo, 12 MB cache and a 65 W TDP, launched in the second quarter of 2019 for systems with a discrete graphics card.
Pros
- 8 cores at up to 4.7 GHz turbo within a 65 W base TDP
- 12 MB shared cache and dual-channel DDR4-2666 support up to 128 GB
- Lower list price than the i7-9700 with integrated graphics
- PCIe 3.0 with 16 CPU lanes for a graphics card
Cons
- No integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required
- No Hyper-Threading: 8 threads only
- Locked multiplier, so no overclocking
- End-of-life LGA1151 platform on a 14 nm process with no PCIe 4.0
