Great gaming performance, Eight cores excel in parallelized workloads, Strong single-threaded performance thanks to high Turbo Boost clock rates, Solder TIM improves thermal transfer,
No bundled cooler means enthusiasts face additional expense, No Hyper-Threading Technology, High price tag
For the enthusiasts among us who have some breathing room in their budgets, Core i7-9700K is a much smarter choice for gaming than the pricey Core i9-9900K. It serves up similar performance at a significantly lower price. It's no slouch in heavier applica...

Abstract: Intel's recent launch of the Core i9-9900K has a lot of people asking what it means to have the best gaming CPU around. The answer to that question is complicated, and we wanted to take a break from our usual System Guide format to dive deep into this spe...

Abstract: Intel's newest line of desktop processors bring with them a number of changes designed to sway favor with performance enthusiasts. These new parts bring Intel's consumer processors up to eight cores, with higher frequencies, better thermal connectivity, a...
Great overall performance, Not as power hungry as i9
Still expensive, Doesn't include a cooler
The Core i7-9700K ends up as an alternative rather than something that's clearly better or worse than the i9-9900K. It delivers great gaming performance and uses less power, striking an interesting balance between competing features...
The Core i7 9700K is a really nice processor, a little less for heavily threaded applications, but for gaming it rocks. It is, however, a little more difficult to recommend when it's just about gaming as the Core i5 9600K makes more sense, value wise. For...

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...

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...
No hyper-threading, Falls behind in multi-threaded loads
Despite being just another iteration of Intel's 14-nanometer process, the Core i7-9700K is still kind of a behemoth of a processor. In gaming, the single-threaded performance is going to be more than enough for years to come, and the processor will last y...
With the inclusion of a brand new, upper-tier of Core i9 processor, the i7 9700K is left in a rather unforgiving position. It's not the best powerhouse chip: that's the i9 9900K. And it's not the best value high-end gaming chip: that idiosyncratic accolad...
