We review the new Core i5-10600K processor from Intel. Priced at 262 USD, this processor based on Comet Lake-S architecture and tied to the Z490 platform comes with 6 cores and twelve threads. It has an all-core turbo to 4500 MHz and may boost to 4.8 GHz on two cores. Just what the doctor ordered in that mainstream gaming arena?

For gaming... i5-10600KF maybe not a bad pick.
Might prefer it over 3600x for the similar price and push OC beyond 5K.

Still, basically similar numbers. Just pick your red or blue poison.

Intel 10600KF - $237
Ryzen 3600x - $249
Intel 10600K - $262

Over 10000K, eh? Still need to tell myself those are CPU's, and not monitors that are so bright they project an X-ray of you on the wall behind you... :eek:

if only it would have been the sunny cove cores...

also... I hit 3800cb points with the 3600 @ 4.2ghz locked so... cool for 175$ and a 60$ board

So technically you just can't cool it by aircooling of you want to stay on the safe side.
Ok none of us will use Aida 24/7 but come on, this has gone too far.

Prime95 with small FFT test may heat it up even higher than AIDA.

Sorry but, I cant agree with the Guru3D recomendation of this product.
Ryzen 3900x has two more cores, 15% more multitasking performance and cost 20% less.
No more!
