    Summary

    Intel has been facing a mainstream CPU headwind since rival AMD arrived armed with Ryzen in 2017. The latest 10th Gen chips do a better job than previous generations of combatting the advancing AMD threat as Core generally matches Ryzen on a thread count...

    Pros

    10 cores, 20 threads for the mainstream, Still class-leading gaming credentials, Solid multithreaded performance, Lots of Z490 motherboards

    Cons

    Next-gen rivals are amassing, Energy efficiency not great, Stuck on PCIe 3.0
