The Intel Core i5-9600T was a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in Q2 2019. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Coffee Lake Refresh architecture with Socket LGA1151. The processor operates at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz, with Intel Turbo Boost technology allowing for higher clock speeds depending on workload. Intel is manufacturing the Core i5-9600T on an enhanced 14nm++ production process, offering improved efficiency and performance.

With a low TDP of just 35 W, the Core i5-9600T is designed for energy-efficient systems while still delivering solid multi-core performance. It features 9 MB of Intel Smart Cache (L3 cache) to enhance data access speeds. The processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface, running at speeds up to 2666 MHz.

For communication with other system components, the Core i5-9600T utilizes a PCI-Express 3.0 connection. This processor does not include integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card may be required for display output. Hardware virtualization (Intel VT-x) is supported, improving performance in virtualized environments. Additionally, the processor includes advanced instruction sets such as SSE4.1/4.2 and AVX2 for optimized multimedia and computational tasks.

The Core i5-9600T does not support Intel Hyper-Threading, meaning it has 6 cores and 6 threads. The multiplier is partially locked, allowing for limited overclocking adjustments. Due to its low power consumption, this CPU is well-suited for small form factor PCs, office workstations, and home theater systems where thermal efficiency is a priority.
