Reviews: 9th Generation Intel Core 9600K, 9700K and 9900K processors
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:

Haven´t read all 3 reviews yet, but man that 9900K is doing good job.
Thanks again for the Reviews!

excellent review....
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.

Why didn´t Intel release a 6c/12t version? Or upcoming later on?

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.

I don't get it - what was Intel so afraid of? This is a pretty solid CPU (performance wise) in every category, what made them think they had to go through with all that shady business with PT?
The only thing that's especially crappy about this CPU is the price, which is the one thing Intel could easily change.

Hey thanks Hilbert.
Still i dont see a reason to upgrade yet.

So from Hilbert's data 2700X vs 9900K the IPC is within 3%. The power usage of both CPUs at max load is essentially the same but AMD has much lower clocks. Looks like all AMD needs is 7nm to get clocks up?

I'm very happy that I waited for your 9600K review, it seems to be surprisingly good and it looks like I will once again have to put my Ryzen upgrade plans on ice.
I don't care about who manufactures the "best" CPUs or not as long as I can feed my 1080p (144hz) monitor and maintain high frames, but the 2700X just doesn't seem up for the task.
However Intel treating Hyper Threading (HT) as an exclusive, just doesn't make sense, but then again I don't render videos 24/7 for a living...
