Question: what is the difference between 8th generation and 9th generation?
Answer: The 9th-gen Core i9 also gets separation from the now-pedestrian Core i7 by being the only CPUs to feature 8 cores. The 8th-gen Core i9 disappointed many because it featured the same 6 cores as the 8th-gen Core i7 parts. That meant the only difference between a Core i9-8950HK and a Core i9-8850H was clock speed.
