I wonder how the performance improvement is in this refresh, my x299 board is getting curious : )

Improvements, lol. Last time Intel improved performance was with Sandy Bridge (and that was only because of much higher clock speeds). All we've been getting since is "optimizations".
Don't get me wrong, we got improvements from Intel in pretty much all areas. Save for performance.

Why would they use a refined process and not taking advantage of including hardware security mitigations and increasing more the clocks like in Whiskey Lake or CF-Refresh?

The 9900k is no improvement, x299 however will get a few gains here. The fact it's soldered is great and I'll upgrade my 7740x to a new skylake-x refesh chip at some stage - Threadripper isn't for me since I've already got a x299 board and skylake-x has better gaming performance since I don't want a dedicated gaming machine and a HEDT machine, why not have both in one? Threadripper is getting better for gaming but the price of the motherboards had put me off.

Because modifying anything required redesigned masks (i.e. additional costs).
Btw, 2 of the 3 newly released CPUs do include hardware fixes: they don't have HT so HT-related exploits do not work.

How would I know? Something to do with their bean counters, I guess.
