or Intel’s Flagship 9th Generation Core i7-9700K To Pack 8 Cores, 16 Threads – Core i5 Upgrade To 6 Cores, 12 Threads and Core i3 Gets Quad Cores With 8 Threads (Wccftech)
(Original source: HKEPC_ http://www.hkepc.com/15957/ (in Chinese?))
In what is a pretty difficult to translate article, Asia based HKEPC claims to have spoken with motherboard manufacturers, and discovered that Intel's upcoming 9th generation processors will again see a Ryze (pun) in processor cores.

With current Coffee lake Intel already stepped things up towards with up-to 6 cores on the 8000 series, for the 9000 series this would become up-to 8-cores. According to the rumor, all series i3/ i5 and i7 will get hyper-threading as well (for selected SKUs).

Straight from HKEPC, who were able to get information out of Taiwan motherboard makers, it has been rumored that the 9th generation flagship which will be known as the Intel Core i7-9700K, will pack 8 cores and 16 threads.

According to the same source, Intel’s next generation Core i5 chips will be packing a 6 core and 12 thread design. Currently, all Intel Core i5 series chips come with 6 cores and 6 threads while the i7 lineup features 6 cores and 12 threads. The Core i3 series on the other hand will be getting multi-threading support too which means we are looking at 4 cores and 8 threads compared to 4 cores and 4 threads that are available on Coffee Lake Core i3 chips right now.
