Intel Core i7-9700 desktop processor 8 cores up to 4.7 GHz LGA1151 65W boxed

SKU CH-1CB6-P67NG

Eight-core desktop processor reaching 4.7 GHz with 12 MB cache and 65 W TDP for LGA 1151 300-series boards

  • Processors TypeDesktop
  • 8 cores and 8 threads handle heavy multitasking
  • Turbo boost reaches 4.7 GHz for fast single-thread speed
  • 12 MB Smart Cache cuts latency for large workloads
  • 6 GB/s memory bandwidth feeds data-hungry apps
  • 65 W TDP keeps cooling requirements modest

9th Gen Intel Core i7-9700 desktop processor

This 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9700 desktop processor delivers 8 cores and 8 threads with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz. It features 12 MB Intel Smart Cache and supports memory bandwidth up to 41.6 GB/s. The 65W TDP design targets enthusiast gaming, content creation and general productivity workloads. A thermal solution is included in the box for immediate installation.

LGA1151 socket installation

The processor fits the LGA1151 socket and requires a motherboard based on the Intel 300 Series chipset family, such as Z390, Z370, H370, H310, B365, B360 or Q370. A BIOS update may be required before the CPU is recognised by the board. The bundled cooler mounts using the standard Intel retention mechanism, so no special tools are needed. Compatibility issues usually stem from outdated firmware rather than physical fit.

Suited for 8-core 65W builds on 300 Series platforms

This CPU suits builders who want eight physical cores at a 65W thermal envelope on an existing 300 Series motherboard. It also supports Intel Optane memory for faster storage caching. Users needing hyper-threading, higher core counts, or a newer socket platform should consider alternative processors. Overclocking headroom is limited by the locked multiplier and 65W power limit.
