Abstract: AMD renewed competition in the CPU space back in 2017, when its Zen-based Ryzen processors stormed the scene a couple months earlier than originally anticipated. These processors combined good enough single-threaded performance with many core architecture...

Abstract: A battle that needs no further introduction, we're pitting the new Ryzen 9 3900X head to head against the Core i9-9900K in 36 games. There's loads of results to go over and this article is solely focused on PC gaming performance. For more context on the c...
We recently updated our Linux testing suite a wee bit, making minor changes, but at the expense of dropping all single-threaded benchmarks – by accident. We hadn't thought much about every single set of results being hugely optimized for core counts, whic...

The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...
Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading, Conclusion

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018, b...

The fastest Intel processor for the desktop, Extra cores mean more flexible multitasking, Better Turbo management means faster processing
Not much overhead for overclocking, Generates a lot of heat, Doesn't include a cooling system, so factor in the cost of a big heatsink or water cooling
There is no doubt that the Intel 9th Gen Core i9 9900K is a powerhouse of a chip. It can crank through tasks faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X, and it's considerably faster than older Intel models. While the claims about being a new generation of processor ar...

Gamers need not worry about the 95-watt TDP spec, it doesn't make much difference either way and running overclocked out of the box on Z390 motherboards won't lead to insane thermals and power consumption for gaming. But if you run work as well as game, a...

The 9900K has been met with seemingly equal parts positive and negative press. On one hand, Intel has expanded the mainstream line in order to compete with AMD's similar (by thread count) offerings on their mainstream lineup. This brought 8 core processor...
