The 9th Generation of Intel CPUs has taken the increased core count we saw from the 8th Generation and pushed it a little further. The Intel Core i9-9900K now has eight core and sixteen threads to help your system work as quickly as possible, whilst doing...

Abstract: Intel sent over the Core i9 9900K as their first 9th Gen Coffeelake-S CPU hitting store shelves today. With the embargo on that now expired, let's have a look at how well this eight-core / sixteen-thread processor performs under Linux.The Core i9 9900K is...

The Best Single-Thread Performance, Strong Multi-Thread Performance, Hardware-Level Exploits Patched, More Cores, More Cache, Compatible With Existing Mobos, Solder TIM
In its stock configuration, the Core i9-9900K's power consumption is also in-line with expectations. The processor appears to be approaching the limits of Intel's 14nm manufacturing process, however, and will require robust cooling and a quality motherboa...

These new 8-core Coffee Lake processors certainly are interesting animals, but I'm not entirely sure who they're for. Before I try and work that out let's quickly touch on pricing. The Core i9-9900K comes in at an MSRP of $500, but currently costs more th...

Price, Cooling requirements, Power consumption under heavy load
Intel's eight-core Core i9-9900K comes with everything to satisfy enthusiasts, like more cores, higher frequencies, and performance-boosting Solder TIM. Those improvements make the chip the fastest mainstream processor on the market, but the $500 asking p...
Normally I'd say that the Core i9 9900K is the new king of desktop processors. However, price versus performance wise the Ryzen 2700X does hold ground. Also, we cannot shy away from the fact that from 4 to 32 cores, AMD has some sort of Ryzen (Threadrippe...
5 GHz all core with MCE, Solder TIM, 8 high performance cores, Its just fast
It can get toasty, not much OC headroom (Yet), Price is too steep
Let's rewind to the announcement of the 9900K. it was touted as the “World best Gaming Processor” by Intel. and I can't argue that. as it games and so much more.The Intel Core i9 9900K has me quite perplexed. Is it the best gaming processor ever? most lik...

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...
