Product overview

Released in Q2 2019, the Core i7-9700F is a 9th‑gen Intel Core (Coffee Lake Refresh) desktop CPU for LGA1151/300‑series motherboards. It has 8 cores and 8 threads at 3.0 GHz base and up to 4.7 GHz Turbo, a 65 W TDP, 12 MB Smart Cache, and DDR4‑2666 support. The F‑suffix denotes no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. Intel now lists this SKU as discontinued.

Positioned in the high_end tier for its generation, it existed to offer an 8‑core i7 for dedicated‑GPU builds without paying for a K‑series overclocking SKU. It’s a solid choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming and general office/productivity, and it can handle light video editing.
