The editors didn't like

  • Not A New Architecture
  • Not Quite The Overclocking Beast It Was Made Out To Be
  • None
  • Will likely require a new motherboard
  • Despite using the same LGA 1150 socket
  • Only moderate overclocking potential with our review chip
  • Despite Intel's promises
  • Overclocking headroom is very limited
  • Retail CPU doesn't come with much needed higher performance heatsink
  • Limited overclocking due to heat
  • Same overclocking potential
  • Compared to the price gap
  • The speed difference to the Intel Core i74770K is not very noticeable
  • Overclocking seems to be more sensitive to BCLK adjustments
  • Overclocking could be better
  • No overclocking
  • Nothing really "new"
  • Integrated GPU limited in 3D gaming performance
  • The chip's overclocking performance isn't as strong as Intel led us to believe
  • Certainly not enough to upgrade from the 4770K.
  • Not much faster than Haswell
  • Still quadcore
  • No heatsink included
  • Needs new motherboard and RAM

  • The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

  • 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 che...

  • Abstract:  Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

  • So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...

  • The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...

  • Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...
