The Core i7 9700K is a really nice processor, a little less for heavily threaded applications, but for gaming it rocks. It is, however, a little more difficult to recommend when it's just about gaming as the Core i5 9600K makes more sense, value wise. For...

These new 8-core Coffee Lake processors certainly are interesting animals, but I'm not entirely sure who they're for. Before I try and work that out let's quickly touch on pricing. The Core i9-9900K comes in at an MSRP of $500, but currently costs more th...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018...
No hyper-threading, Falls behind in multi-threaded loads
Despite being just another iteration of Intel's 14-nanometer process, the Core i7-9700K is still kind of a behemoth of a processor. In gaming, the single-threaded performance is going to be more than enough for years to come, and the processor will last y...
With the inclusion of a brand new, upper-tier of Core i9 processor, the i7 9700K is left in a rather unforgiving position. It's not the best powerhouse chip: that's the i9 9900K. And it's not the best value high-end gaming chip: that idiosyncratic accolad...
Excellent IPC, Decent all-round performance, Good power efficiency, Wide choice of Z390 boards
£460 price tag, No cooler in the box
Introduction of the mainstream Intel 9th Gen Core processors has shaken up the status quo in no uncertain terms.Now headed by an eight-core, 16-thread processor going by the name of Core i9-9900K, the traditional x700K champ is demoted to second-in-li...
Ultimately, despite offing more cores this time round, the Core i7-9700K struggles to find its place amongst an increasingly crowded CPU market with previous generation CPUs still in the mix from both parties. Its lack of Hyper-Threading means that it doe...
Abstract: Looking at Intel's 8c/8t Core i7-9700K, I thought having 8 cores and high clocks would be great, even with Hyper-threading disabled… and I couldn't be so wrong.I had to test again and again to make sure what I saw was correct and sure enough it is, at a...
