The editors didn't like
Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
Conclusion
High price

This is without a doubt the most powerful consumer mainstream desktop CPU's ever to hit the streets. Some might balk at the $488 MSRP, but the raw performance is beyond impressive. We remember the Intel's very first consumer 8-core CPU, the HEDT based i7-...

Abstract: Intel's i9-9900K's most boasted feature in all marketing is its solder, so we decided to test thermals with the new soldered interface, then delid the CPU and put thermal paste back on it for more testing. It's backwards from what we typically do (which i...
Abstract: When Intel declared its new 9th gen Core i9-9900K the “world's best gaming CPU,” it lied. After poking and prodding the CPU, we can say without a doubt that it is actually the fastest mainstream CPU around and—wait for it—the fastest gaming CPU too.For th...
March 2nd, 2017, that is the day that Ryzen officially launched and I think anyone including Intel can admit that day and that launch has changed the PC market. Up until then higher core counts were limited to AMD's much slower bulldozer CPUs and Inte...
Abstract: Intel has come a long way with their mainstream processor platform. The platform has largely seen stagnation in terms of core and thread count over many generations since the first Core series CPU that launched back in 2010 but last year brought a big cha...

Abstract: Since the inception of the Core Series of processors, the i7 was the flagship of Intel's line of desktop processors. Since the first generation, the top tier i7 was always a quad core chip with hyper-threading. That was until June 2017 when the rumors flo...

Abstract: After generations upon generations of consumer processors topping out at four cores going back to the Core 2 days, Intel finally launched their first 6-core processor for consumers with the 8700K almost exactly a year ago.AMD's continued to persevere wi...

Sorry for the rather threadbare preceding pages, but our results speak for themselves. The Core i9-9900K often shadows chips costing nearly twice as much in multithreaded workloads while delivering unbeatable single-threaded responsiveness, gaming perfor...
Intel has stepped up to the plate with the Core i9-9900K CPU. We all know that AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is exactly where Intel set its sights and it is surely on target when it comes to performance in any workload you assign it to. The 9900K is a the better CP...
