“Is this actual CPU upgradable to the 9th generation of Intel i7 process or an i9?”

1-1 of 1 Answer

• No it is not. I have read that all Core i9 CPUs will use a new Socket R4, a 2,066-pin LGA socket that will require a brand-new motherboard. Intel's Core i9 family is not backward-compatible with existing Skylake or Kaby Lake motherboards. Here's the Processor upgrade information: TDP: 35 W Socket type: LGA1151 Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades: Processor TDP Integrated Graphics Intel Core i7-8700T (Coffee Lake) 2.4 GHz Hexa Core 35 W Intel UHD Graphics 630 Intel Core i7+ 8700T (Coffee Lake) 2.4 GHz Hexa Core 35 W Intel UHD Graphics 630 Intel Core i5-8400T (Coffee Lake) 1.7 GHz Hexa Core 35 W Intel UHD Graphics 630 Intel Core i5+ 8400T (Coffee Lake) 1.7 GHz Hexa Core 35 W Intel UHD Graphics 630
