Intel Core i9-9900K benchmarks show it easily outperforming Ryzen 7 2700X and i7-8700K

Huh, finally worth it to replace my 6850K?

Have the IMC issues with Intel's CPUs been resolved yet? 3 of my 5930K's died from IMC damage to the point intel completely refunded me the purchase cost (to which I replaced it with a 6850K, which while better in the IMC department, still partially failed).

I've practically ignored hardware for over a year now.. guess it's time to go and learn about all the new CPUs and chipsets!

I was disappointed to see the reporter didn't understand the technology. For years now, intel has been putting processor specs in a special spot in the processor, making bios updates unnecessary for merely supporting a new processor.
