From a performance perspective, the Intel 9th Generation Core i9 9900K is a slam dunk. The combination of a massive 5GHz Turbo Boost 2.0 clock speed and 8 cores to do the work just sets it apart from the field. At 5GHz in single and lightly threaded...
Once everything is said and done, theres no denying the fact Intels i9-9900K is an extremely impressive processor that can provide an abundance of performance in a broad swath of applications. In the introduction I said that this processor would bring I...
Fastest consumer CPU available, STIM to manage heat transfer, Delivers high speeds and 16 threads for the best of both worlds
Fastest consumer CPU available, STIM to manage heat transfer, Delivers high speeds and 16 threads for the best of both worlds, Like all ‘Performance' components, it's expensive, Can get hot and draw excessive power when unleashed
Intel may be a bit late when it comes to joining in the industry with their very first mainstream octa core processor, but their i9-9900K is seriously a very remarkable debut. The intense enhancement in the processing power of this i9-9900K from Intel can...
Abstract: When Intel declared its new 9th gen Core i9-9900K the “world's best gaming CPU,” it lied. After poking and prodding the CPU, we can say without a doubt that it is actually the fastest mainstream CPU around and—wait for it—the fastest gaming CPU too.For th...
The 9900K is the fastest gaming CPU we have in the charts, and in many cases it could be the fastest 8-core processor in existence, beating both Intel's HEDT 8-core and AMD's top 8-core CPU. The massive frequency gains and IPC advantage the 9900K has allo...

We'll be honest, we were pretty skeptical of Intel's Core i9-9900K. After all, with an 8-core Ryzen 7 1700X at $329 (and $300 on the street), which includes a decent cooler, what's Intel thinking, pushing an 8-core Core i9 chip for $488 ($529 on the stree...
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...
