Intel Core i5 9600K processor review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/19/2018 03:00 PM [ 314 comment(s) ]

Intel's Coffee Lake-S refresh for the second half of 2018 invokes three processors. Two eight-core ones, and a six-core version. In this review, we test out the Core i5 9600K. This is the new mainstream processor that you can seat into your Z390 or Z370 (update your bios first please) chipset based motherboard. If you want to build a gaming rig, this processor is your best value bet in the new 9000 series.

I really like your final words ...>"I am liking that Core i5 9600K just for what you can achieve with it (gaming wise)"

Grrrrrrr......you just give me a big upgrade itch that I can't scratch off!...:p

Well, 9900k is a weird CPU as far as I can tell.

Even in 720p benchmarks doesn't make it shine (pure CPU cap).
However Intel finally created a consumer CPU that doesn't lose to Ryzen in raw power. And overclock make the gap further.
So it could a good CPU for 144fps+ gaming AND content producing. We'll see how it gonna age.

9900k looks ok, but pricing.. oh well.. geizhaltz has them listed from 600€+, avg more around 700-750€.. lol good luck with that.


Like I said few times, Icelake or ryzen 2 for me. Maybe I'm leaning towards Icelake more because of ddr5, I know ryzen2 will still be ddr4.
