Aurora-R7, support for Intel 9th gen CPU?
From everything I read, it sounds like a few manufactures released an updated bios to support Intel 9th gen CPU for certain motherboards. Do we know yet if Dells motherboard in the Aurora-R7 has/will get this bios update?

Hi,
We have not received confirmation on this yet. We should have more information in the following weeks, closer to the release date of the Intel's 9th generation processors.

The intel 9th gen of CPUs see the i9 come to standard market alongside another i7 and i5. I know you're pondering the specs of these CPUs, so look down beneath:
Intel Core i9-9900K (est: 8 Core/16 Threads)
Intel Core i7-9700K (est: 6 Core/12 Threads)
Intel Core i5-9600K (est: 6 Core/6 Threads)
One thing to note is that these are the assessed specs for every processor, these depend on the best SKU being an i9, which would probably be conveying 8 centers to equal AMD since Intel hasn't made a CPU with that numerous centers. The i5 and i7 processors will be somewhat less great than that, made for the sole motivation behind holding AMD at their 6 center amusement.

No. As of today, the Aurora-R7 internal parts page only list the 8th Generation i7's.

going on what is stated above, the i7 9700 and i5 9400/9500/9600 are 9th generation so seems the answer is no.
