Abstract: The Intel Core i9-9900K has been with us for a little while now. We loved it when we originally reviewed it. Sure, it wasn't cheap, and it has issues with load temperatures, but we couldn't refute the raw performance it delivered. AMD countered pretty har...

Expensive, Gets hot, Falls behind in multi-core performance
Look, in the current processor landscape, this chip doesn't have much of a reason to exist. You can get similar performance from a 9900K by simply overclocking, rather than paying an extra $128 (£70, AU$100). However, if you are uncomfortable with overclo...
5.0GHz on all cores, Class-leading gaming credentials, Decent all-round perf, Excellent choice of motherboards
Runs hot, particularly when OC'd, Not energy efficient, One-year warranty
Core i9-9900KS represents the culmination of Intel's mainstream desktop processor strategy for this year. The underlying Coffee Lake blueprint, still based on 14nm technology, provides decent IPC that enables the chip, at its lofty 5.0GHz all-core speed...

5GHz all-core out of the box, even in AVX workloads, Solid overclocking headroom on our sample – 5.2GHz was manageable, Higher quality silicon compared to an average Core i9-9900K (according to Intel), Fastest gaming processor on the market, Ideal for lig
Productivity and multi-threaded performance deficit versus Ryzen 9 3900X is generally large, Value versus AMD's Ryzen 3000 line-up is generally poor, 1-year warranty instead of the usual 3 years, Demands a high-end motherboard and expensive cooling to ope
The Core i9-9900KS is fundamentally a pretty simple product; Intel has taken the best of the Core i9-9900K chips, pushed the frequency even higher, and released them on a limited run as the ‘special edition' Core i9-9900KS. That's about the crux of it, an...
Intel's first Special Edition mainstream CPU, the Core i7-8086K was a lot of fun. Fast forward a short spurt of several months and the next Special Edition CPU, today's Core i9-9900KS is even more of a blast. Much of the coverage the last several months h...

Abstract: This week our AMD Ryzen 9 3950X review sample finally arrived and so we've begun putting it through the paces of many different benchmarks. The first of these Linux tests with the Ryzen 9 3950X is looking at the performance up against the Ryzen 9 3900X an...

5 GHz on all cores, high gaming performance, high application performance, low power consumption during idle operation
high power consumption under load, very good cooling is required, too expensive
5 GHz at any costTesting the Intel Core i9-9900KS. Test unit provided by Intel GermanyAfter AMD raised the bar with the new Ryzen processors, Intel now had to follow suit. Unfortunately, it is not more than a small upgrade of the Intel Core i9-9900K. W...
