Ultra-speedy for video rendering and editing, Best clock speeds of all the consumer CPUs
Underwhelming performance for video games compared with the competition, Requires powerful cooler to prevent overheating, Not much room for overclocking
The Intel Core i9-9900K is an absolute powerhouse for video rendering and Photoshop at this price. If you're a power-crazy media professional this is the processor to plump for. But for gamers? You can find much better value alternatives...

Dominating hyper-threading performance, Runs significantly cooler, Tight energy consumption
Expensive, Little to no improvement for gaming
Intel might be late to the game with its first mainstream octa-core processor, but the Intel Core i9-9900K is an impressive debut. The Intel Core i9-9900K's incredible increase in processing power can't be understated, and this CPU will be a boon to any v...

Intel is finally using solder again for better temperatures and better overclocking headroom, Fastest desktop processor from Intel to date, The best gaming CPU currently on the market; 8 cores and 16 threads of pure performance, Good performance, Reasonab
Still expensive compared to AMD's Ryzen processors
It's clear that the announcement surrounding the new Intel Coffee Lake Refresh was a badly kept secret as the new supporting Z390 chipset was announced earlier on in the year. Whether that was a mistake on Intel's part or a cleverly strategised marketing...

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...
Up to 5GHz Turbo Boost, Adept multi-core processing, Ideal for multiple uses inc. video editing, Excellent overall performance, Soldered IHS
Small amount of overclocking headroom, Expensive when compared to AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 PCIe lane functionality only
It's quite easy to become complacent with CPU releases, viewing them as an exercise in marketing and massaging consumer perception rather than advancing performance. That's perhaps an unfair characterisation of the recent history of CPUs as a product segm...
Excellent IPC, Strong multi-core performance, Blurs the lines between gaming and HEDT, Wide choice of Z390 boards
£600 price tag, Hardware still susceptible to exploits, Gets very hot when overclocking
There are plenty of points to consider, but let's start by getting the inevitable out of the way: the Intel Core i9-9900K is a very fast CPU.First-class IPC, eight cores, 16 threads, 5GHz on up to two cores, 4.7GHz on every core, and all delivered in...

Abstract: Want one? i9 9900K: a-fwd.to/5FRa3oS 2700X: a-fwd.to/46xsUKk The new i9 9900K a first from Intel, being 8 cores and 16 threads, but how does it compare to the hot selling AMD Ryzen 7 2700X? Here is some gaming, productivity and a few synthetic benchmarks...
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...
