Intel unleashed the 9th iteration of their Core series processors. We start off with three processor reviews today, the Core i5 9600K, the Core i7 9700K and the flagship desktop proc, the Core i9 9900K. We present three Coffee Lake-S Series 9000 reviews today, including the new flagship desktop processor. Meet the premium Coffee Lake-S processors that have been discussed so abundantly lately.

Pair it with a nice Z390 motherboard and you will be looking at mighty fine performance and a downright excellent gaming processor. You can find the Guru3D reviews right here:

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.
