Shuttle Mini-PCs now available with support for Intel Core processors of the 9th generation
Since the beginning of quarter 4/2018, the 9th generation of Intel Core processors has been available from specialist stockists. The “Refresh” of the processors, which are referred to by the code name "Coffee Lake”, is now also happening at Shuttle. For consumers, the 9th generation means primarily higher performance thanks to more cores and threads as well as extra graphics power. The top Core i9-9900K model is the first to have a turbo frequency of 5 GHz. As the heat spreader is soldered to the processor die (STIM), the transfer of heat is likewise better.
Overview of the new processors
- Intel Core i9-9900K (eight cores/16 threads)
- Intel Core i7-9700K (eight cores/eight threads)
- Intel Core i5-9600K (six cores/six threads)
All of the models listed have a TDP of 95 Watt.
The latest Shuttle XPC Barebones with a 300-series chipset are yet compatible out-of-the-box or just need a BIOS update. Intel is also planning on releasing processor models with a TDP of 65 Watt which will then also be suitable for Shuttle’s 3-litre and 1.3-litre PCs.
