At £599.99 the Intel Core i9-9900K isn't cheap. However, compared to the X299 chips on the market, it's a bit of a bargain. This level of performance has long been the reserve of £1000+ chips from Intel, on more extreme and expensive X299 motherboards. No...

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...

Abstract: If you disregard the janky animations (facial expressions, body movements), then Hitman 3 can be considered as a very graphically impressive title. Thanks to good lighting and high-quality reflections, the richly detailed environments appear very atmospheric. The textures are also very impressive, especially when compared to the rest of the competition...
