    Summary

    We fully expected Core i9-10900K would deliver storming performance, and it does.We fully expected that ten cores would yield some benefit over eight cores, and they do.We had little doubt that Intel would deliver the claimed All Core Turbo Frequency and...

    kitguru.net
    Pros

    Stellar gaming results, Mighty Turbo Boost performance of 4.9GHz on ten cores, Impressively low CPU temperatures, Good potential for overclocking, CPU is priced quite reasonably

    Cons

    New platform, new chipset, new CPU socket, Z490 and 10th Gen are stuck on PCI Express Gen 3, Those ten cores require loads of power, LGA1200 is expected to have a very short life, Z490 motherboards are expensive, KitGuru Says: Against all expectations Cor...

    Summary

    Intel knows that it doesn't have the technology arsenal to really move the performance of its 10th Gen processors enough to topple rival AMD from its mainstream perch. The chip giant does what it can be increasing the core-and-thread count for the i9 chip...

    Summary

    The new Intel CPUs launched alongside their new Z490 motherboard series. We've tested a LOT of boards today, and you can check out there reviews here. The only thing we didn't get with these CPUs in PCIe Gen 4, albeit pretty much all of the motherboards a...

    Summary

    Intel's response to the AMD Ryzen onslaught has been to leverage existing technology and fabrication capabilities in a way that better enables it to compete at various price points of the mainstream consumer market.Three aspects are apparent immediate...

    HEXUS.net
    Pros

    10 cores, 20 threads for the mainstream, Class-leading gaming credentials, Solid multithreaded performance, Hyperthreading across the stack

    Cons

    10900K uses plenty of power, Requires investment in new motherboard, 10600K feels like an 8700K OC, Stuck on PCIe 3.0

  • 05/20/2020

    Summary

    Intel's new i9 is here along with the rest of the 10 th gen line up – all sporting pain-in-the-ass names, this one is the 10900K I will henceforth refer to as “the new i9” or the “10 th gen i9”. Intel claims it's the “WORLDS FASTEST GAMING PROCESSOR”, and...

    Summary

    Intel's ten-core 20-thread Core i9-10900K cements itself as the fastest gaming processor on the market and comes at a reasonable price, but the extra performance comes at the cost of incredibly high power consumption...

    tomshardware.co.uk
    Pros

    Lower per-core pricing, Leading gaming performance, Strong in both single- and multi-threaded applications,

    Cons

    Power consumption, Thermal output and cooling requirements, PCIe 3.0 interface, Little overclocking headroom, Requires new motherboard

  • 05/20/2020

    Summary

    The Core i9-10900K is fast in games, single-threaded tasks and day-to-day jobs, but it's unable to outpace the cheaper AMD Ryzen 9 3900X in tougher workloads, and it's never dominant in gaming either. Intel's chip is expensive, its ecosystem is sometimes...

    trustedreviews.com
    Pros

    Impressive single-threaded performance, Decent gaming pace, Good performance in day-to-day work, Chipset with upgraded networking,

    Cons

    Unable to beat rivals in multi-threaded tests, Pricier than the competition, Expensive ecosystem, No native PCI-E 4.0 support,

  • 05/20/2020

    Summary

    It's hard to believe that Intel's 9th Gen arrived in Q4 2018. Some would argue the 9th Gen. platform with its Z390 chipset was short-lived, we just hope that Z490 and LGA1200 has more longevity.As with other releases, upgrading to Intel's 10th Gen. makes...

    vortez.net
    Pros

    Excellent Turbo Boost Frequency, Offers excellent overall performance, Cheaper than Coffee Lake counterparts, Supports up to 128GB DDR4, Responds well to overclocking

    Cons

    Thermals still above the competition, Does not support PCIe 4.0 specification, Less cores/threads than the competition
