Intel has unveiled its 9th Gen K-Series central processing unit (CPU), and Dell is wasting no time adding it to its computers.

Dell will use the new CPU in its Dell XPS Tower Special Edition and Alienware Aurora desktops. This is the first time 8-core CPU configurations will be available in either desktop, with i5, i7 and i9 options to select from. The new Intel CPUs were previously code-named Coffee Lake, and numerous leaks identified the parts, including the Core i9-9900K.
