Intel’s new 9th Gen Core i5, i7, and i9 processors are now available for preorder. While we’re still eagerly awaiting the company’s oft-delayed 10nm Cannon Lake CPU, the latest family of processors are bringing some welcomed improvements. From a security standpoint, they are each protected against Meltdown Variant 3 and L1 Terminal Fault issues. More generally, power users can expect a hearty bump up in performance — especially if you buy into the new i9-9900K, which Intel claims is the “best gaming processor in the world. Period.”
