Intel presented this new series at the end of 2024 with results far from what would be expected in terms of performance so that in theory, it is the 15th generation.
However, if we pay attention to the last reference that appeared in Geekbench, Intel may not have forgotten the Intel nucleus and work in a new generation higher than Intel Core i9-14900kProcessor that is stupid in all aspects, not only in terms of consumption, but also in terms of performance.
In Geekbench, a performance test of a processor labeled as Intel Core i9-15900k In what could be a very early development sample, because the performance it offers is far from what the successor of 14,900k would be expected.
As we can see this test, this hypothesis Intel Core i9-15900k Share the same specifications with the 14900K, such as the 24 nuclei and 32 threads, 8 MB and L3 of 36 MB. They also share the same Steping 1 of the identifier of the General Family.
Zocalo is also the same, LGA 1700, so everything indicates that it is more than one Identification error of the application that of something else. It is also likely that it is a modified version of 14900K which has not exceeded performance tests or that it is really a 15th generation of Intel nucleus.
Performance tests 15900K
As we can see in the results of this test, to execute it, a hypothesis of 15,900k was used with a Jinyue B760i Snow Dream motherboard accompanied by 64 GB of RAM GDDR4 at 2400 MHz.
Regarding performance tests, we see how this supposed 15th Intel generates a much lower performance that you expect, taking into account the beast which is 14900K and which is probably motivated by the difference in the clock speedSince 15,900k, has been working at a maximum of 4.8 GHz for the 5.8 GHz of 14,900k.
In the single test, 15,900K obtained a score of 2,279 points by the 3000 points of 14,900k, while it is multi -tested, it goes to 11,690 points, just under half of the 20,000 obtained by 14900K.
When will the Intel Core i9-15900K launched?
As we commented above, the 15th generation of Intel processors is the Core Ultra 200, a generation whose most powerful model, Core Ultra 9 285K It remains behind not only with regard to 14,900k but also the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d.
Shortly after the launch of AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, an Intel engineer said that the Ultra 200 Core performance was not expected and that they were working to improve their performance thanks to microcode updates. It was last November now, these fixes barely improved performance.
Does this mean that Intel could launch the Intel Core i9-15900k? The possibilities are very distant, but, if we take into account that Intel does not do things very well in recent months (if not years), we can expect the company to try to recover the market share that 'He lost in DMLA front in both data centers and on the domestic market.
