works as intended

Not sure how to explain it.. Fast, very fast..

good cpu for the price does everything you need!

Thanks for the super quick postage was refreshing to get this so quick its a pity other pc part resellers in Australia aren’t so quick love ya work 10/10

This CPU is super fast and I managed to get it a good price. I'm also glad I didn't wait for the 11th gen. It can sometimes run a little bit hot but usually I'm getting idle temperatures of ~27-30 degrees C.

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 Intel’s chip is expensive, its ecosystem is sometimes outdated, and it’s power-hungry. We’d wait to see what the rest of the year has in store before making a buying decision.

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

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

Intel’s problem has been weaknesses outside of gaming, and its overall performance value compared to AMD’s Ryzen 3000 chips. With the Core i9-10900K, Intel doesn’t appear to be eliminating that gap, but it could get close enough that you might not care.
