Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018...

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also...
As the market forces the prices of CPUs down, the Intel Core i9-9900k is a far more exciting and interesting offering, making it a great choice for new builds or streaming setups...
Once everything is said and done, theres no denying the fact Intels i9-9900K is an extremely impressive processor that can provide an abundance of performance in a broad swath of applications. In the introduction I said that this processor would bring I...
Excellent performance, Mainstream costs, Optane Memory supported, Lower 8-core thermals, Can be used in Z370 boards
Minimal overclocking on this sample
From a performance perspective, the Intel 9th Generation Core i9 9900K is a slam dunk. The combination of a massive 5GHz Turbo Boost 2.0 clock speed and 8 cores to do the work just sets it apart from the field. At 5GHz in single and lightly threaded...
Fastest consumer CPU available, STIM to manage heat transfer, Delivers high speeds and 16 threads for the best of both worlds
Fastest consumer CPU available, STIM to manage heat transfer, Delivers high speeds and 16 threads for the best of both worlds, Like all ‘Performance' components, it's expensive, Can get hot and draw excessive power when unleashed
Intel may be a bit late when it comes to joining in the industry with their very first mainstream octa core processor, but their i9-9900K is seriously a very remarkable debut. The intense enhancement in the processing power of this i9-9900K from Intel can...
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...
The 9900K is the fastest gaming CPU we have in the charts, and in many cases it could be the fastest 8-core processor in existence, beating both Intel's HEDT 8-core and AMD's top 8-core CPU. The massive frequency gains and IPC advantage the 9900K has allo...

We'll be honest, we were pretty skeptical of Intel's Core i9-9900K. After all, with an 8-core Ryzen 7 1700X at $329 (and $300 on the street), which includes a decent cooler, what's Intel thinking, pushing an 8-core Core i9 chip for $488 ($529 on the stree...
