The 8 core Intel Core i9-9900KS launched back in October 2019 and it looks like the processor might soon be coming off the store shelves as the blue giant prepares for the launch of its 10th generation line of processors.

Intel released the Core i9-9900KS in a bid to tackle AMD's weakest spot, the clock speeds. Packing 8 cores and 16 threads, the CPU was not a huge leap in technology given how Intel reused its 14nm process node and the fact that 8 core processors had already started taking up mainstream space, thanks to AMD's Ryzen lineup.
