Intel Core i9-9900K review
As Intel's first-ever mainstream Core i9 chip, this processor comes equipped with eight-cores, 16-threads and the ability to boost up to a maximum 5.0GHz clock speed. All told, this new octa-core processor not only closes the gap with AMD's best processor, but runs past it.
Pros:
- Dominating hyper-threading performance
- Runs significantly cooler
- Tight energy consumption
Cons:
- Expensive
- Little to no improvement for gaming

Since the inception of the Core Series of processors, the i7 was the flagship of Intel's line of desktop processors. Since the first generation, the top tier i7 was always a quad core chip with hyper-threading.

Intel Core i9 9900K processor review
There's no denying it, the Core i9 9900K is a little gem. It ticks all the right boxes in performance both on the threaded application and gaming end. It has hyper-threading with sixteen threads and then the very high turbo bins to go along with that.
