The Core i9-9900KS might be Intel's new flagship processor (CPU) for its mainstream lineup of CPUs, but the Intel Core i7-9700K is the more interesting chip. For one thing, the Intel Core i7-9700K drops hyper-threading, which is definitely a controversial...
+Excellent performance, Strong thermals-No hyper-threading, Falls behind in multi-threaded loadsDespite 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...

In an effort to match the pace of change, Intel has stuffed another two cores into its mainstream Coffee Lake silicon. Enter: the Intel Core i7 9700K, one of only three 9th Gen processors on the market and the irregular successor to the Core i7 8700K. I...
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...

Cutting Hyper-Threading from the list of specifications for a £480 Core i7 CPU seemed at first to be a strange decision by Intel. Any CPU in this position stretching back to before Sandy Bridge days features twice as many threads as it does cores, but in...
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...
