Intel Core i9 is a line of Intel CPUs (central processing units) introduced in May 2017. Core i9 CPUs feature as few as six and as many as eighteen cores, with two threads per core when hyperthreading is enabled. Its frequencies range from 2.9 to 3.6 GHz, and up to 5.0 GHz when using Intel Turbo Boost.

All Core i9 CPUs interface with a new Intel socket type, LGA (land grid array) 2066. Therefore, they are not compatible with previous-generation motherboards.
