Intel Core i7 9700K processor review

It is time to review that secondary Coffee Lake-S refresh release. In this review we put some blisters on the Core i7 9700K. This is the higher end mainstream processor. With eight cores it is aimed at the Z390 chipset based platform. But is it an interesting enough proc with just 8 threads, as this dawg does have hyper-threading?

It already did? 8700k.

It's the same architecture, it would be pointless to release the same CPU again under different name/number.

I think it is because they need to sell a lot of chips which have goo under IHS.

Great review HH!

9900K looks nice but the price, damn! You can almost buy two Ryzen 2700X for that price. Let's hope that this is the last time we see Coffee Lake and that Intel sorts out it's problems with 10nm.
