Conclusion
High price
Held back by power limits
Only small gaming performance improvements
No heatsink included
Weak integrated graphics
Price compared to competition
Not much overhead for overclocking

So factor in the cost of a big heatsink or water cooling
Excellent IPC, Strong multi-core performance, Blurs the lines between gaming and HEDT, Wide choice of Z390 boards
£600 price tag, Hardware still susceptible to exploits, Gets very hot when overclocking
There are plenty of points to consider, but let's start by getting the inevitable out of the way: the Intel Core i9-9900K is a very fast CPU.First-class IPC, eight cores, 16 threads, 5GHz on up to two cores, 4.7GHz on every core, and all delivered in...

Abstract: Want one? i9 9900K: a-fwd.to/5FRa3oS 2700X: a-fwd.to/46xsUKk The new i9 9900K a first from Intel, being 8 cores and 16 threads, but how does it compare to the hot selling AMD Ryzen 7 2700X? Here is some gaming, productivity and a few synthetic benchmarks...
Intel has a monstrously powerful mainstream desktop CPU that, despite what it claims, most definitely eats into its high-end desktop market space and wrestles the performance crown from AMD decisively. Given we only managed to add 300MHz to the all-core b...
Because Intel has dropped this i9 processor on top of the existing CPU tiers it commands a much higher price than both the previous top Coffee Lake chip, the Core i7 8700K, and the top AMD eight-core, the Ryzen 7 2700X. That makes this $530 (£492) i9 9900...

Eight cores running close to 5GHz, Soldered heat spreader helps thermals, Compatible with Z370 motherboards, Excellent DDR4 memory support
Very high price, Minimal headroom for overclocking, Very few games make use of more than four cores, This refreshed architecture is still not proofed against security problems
Take a tour along the shelves of KitGuru's testing hardware and we are quite sure the enthusiast gamer would happily select Core i9-9900K running on a high end Z390 motherboard. Performance is excellent and the addition of two cores is welcome.We begged I...

Abstract: Intel's recent processors have been a step behind the high-core count, massive multi-threading performance of AMD Ryzen CPUs for some time now, but now Intel Core i9-9900K looks to level the playground.Team Blue's first-ever mainstream Core i9 chip comes...
16 threads, Soldered thermal interface material, Unbeatable gaming performance, Strong productivity suite and content-creation performance
That price, Limited availability at present
there's not much else to this CPU, outside of the new thermal interface material, the additional cores, and of course the associated cache that goes with it. Intel has also dealt with some of the vulnerabilities revealed in previous CPUs, better known as...
Though we have used an identical GPU across the benchmark, the Core-i9-9900K offer slightly better performance in almost all scenarios, in some cases, the difference in the performance (compared to the 9th Gen Core i7-9700K) might be negligible, but, ther...
It took Intel a while to release the Core i9-9900K in India, and unfortunately it has come in at an outlandishly high price. It sells for Rs. 57,000 online which puts it well out of reach of most casual gamers and many enthusiasts. Intel does not provide...
