The editors didn't like
Small amount of overclocking headroom
Expensive when compared to AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
16 PCIe lane functionality only
£600 price tag
Hardware still susceptible to exploits

This refreshed architecture is still not proofed against security problems
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...
After using the Intel Core i9-9900K for the past week we found it to perform exactly like we expected it to. Intel finally has a mainstream 8-core, 16-thread processor to compete with AMD's parts with the same core and thread count. The 9900K was able to...
8 cores and 16 threads, 5 GHz boost, Trades blows with more expensive Core i9-7900X, Unlocked multiplier, Soldered IHS, Works on existing LGA1151 platform, even with Z370 motherboards, Integrated graphics, Supports up to 128 GB memory
High price, Held back by power limits, Only small gaming performance improvements, No heatsink included, Weak integrated graphics
The Core i9-9900K is currently listed on Amazon for $530. For some reason, the Newegg price, which we usually use, is $580. 8 cores and 16 threads 5 GHz boost Trades blows with more expensive Core i9-7900X Unlocked multiplier Soldered IHS Works on existin...
8-core, 16-threads, Best performing mainstream processor we've reviewed, Great gaming performance, Solder thermal interface material (STIM), Can easily reach 5.0 GHz or above when overclocking
Price compared to competition
So Intel's newest flagship mainstream processor is here and as you saw from the past few pages it tops the results in almost all of the tests that we ran. So let's talk about what Intel has done with the 9th generation Core processors and specifically the...
