The hardest part about reviewing the Intel Core i9-10900K is that I have no way of directly comparing it to its direct competitors, the 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, both of which are build on a 7nm process. Those support...

Intel's 10th Generation Core i9-10900K mainstream flagship CPU excels in elite gaming scenarios, but its aging architecture can't quite keep pace with AMD's newer, nimbler 7nm designs on value and multi-threaded performance.

Sin embargo, lo que juega más en su contra es el precio, pues sale a la venta por nada menos que 570 euros, un precio que comparado con los 540 euros del i9-9900K puede parecer hasta barato con un 20% de núcleos extra, pero a costa de una nueva plataforma que aporta básicamente nada.

In the end, Intel's has clearly upgraded their entire line-up of mainstream processors, which now offer more cores, higher clocks, and ultimately more performance. The platform has been updated with the new Z490 chipset and introductory CPU pricing at the high end is somewhat lower than the previous-gen.
