There are WQHD results. It would nice to see more games tested on that resolution.
And i´m also perfectly fine with my 2700X.

Nice Review HH
Do these CPU's work with the Z370 boards? or only 390... be interesting to know, Mind you the 9900k Is quite insanely priced, But the idea of having a soldered CPU again sounds nice

BLEH!
Worth more than twice the price of the 2700X, I think not.

After reading the review for me the most interesting CPU is the 9700K, lots of performance for a "reasonable" price followed by the 9600K as a more budget oriented part. The 9900K offers great performance but the price difference between it and the 9700K is simply too much.
Too bad i don´t have the chance of buying one of those because Intel decided the Z170/270 boards can´t use them...
Great review as always!!

Awesome reviews Hilbert , absolutely great and in depth read , thank you. This are great cpus indeed the fastest for gaming high refresh rates 144 - 240hz , the truth. The only thing i can see a little off it's the pricing , but hey if you are running 2080Tis or running benchmarks for hwbot this is the right choice. I still see the Ryzen 2700x as the better choice based on price to performance ratio in my opinion.
I have in my hands already an Asus Maximus crosshair hero wi-fi Z390 and a core i9 9900K incoming already for benchmarking competitive purpose only for hwbot to be run at subsero temperatures ( Water chiller -21c for now ), liquid nitrogen soon -196c. That is the only way to be on top of the charts benchmarking at hwbot with the fastest overclockable cpus , so no regrets here as Ryzen 2700x at ~4.7- 4.8Ghz has served me well at subsero temps benchmarking for hwbot but i need more cpu clocks ~5.4-5.6Ghz up to 6.5Ghz ln2.
But i love my Ryzen 2700x - crosshair hero 7 so much that will still be my 24/7 pc for good and it won't be replaced by this cpus 🙂 . Having the best of both worlds as each cpu has it purpose for my usage. Thanks to AMD we have very competitive products on the market and it will get better once Ryzen 2 arrives.

The Shadow of Tomb Raider 720p chart says: GeForce RTX 20980 Ti founder.
As has been said, a really powerful CPU, but the price is ridiculous. As expected of Intel.

No need for me to upgrade, but i'm really thinking about Zen 2 if it proved to be equal or better than 9900K, while offering great multicore performance, mainly need it to process huge RAW files.
