With 7 nm AMD Ryzen 3000 processor family expected to make landfall early-July, and "Ice Lake" nowhere in sight, a panicked Intel announced the development of the Core i9-9900KS 8-core/16-thread LGA1151 processor. Based on the 14 nm "Coffee Lake Refresh" silicon, this processor has a base-frequency of 4.00 GHz, up from 3.60 GHz of the original; and an all-core Turbo Boost frequency of 5.00 GHz, compared to the original i9-9900K, which has its max-turbo set at 5.00 GHz. This revamped Turbo Boost algorithm is expected to yield significant gains in multi-core performance. The company didn't reveal TDP, pricing, or availability. 
 
Sounds like the 7nm CPUs from AMD have Intel a little spooked. In my personal opinion announcement of this new Intel CPU isn't going to make a difference if the pricing isn't competitive.

    No TDP, pricing and availability? Sounds like it'll be too inefficient, too expensive and too short of stock, seeing this will be a rushed production run.

    +1 and without a smaller die shrink I don't see the benefit
