Intel Core i9-11900K Processor Review

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:00:48 +0000

The Core i9-11900K is an 8-core, 16-thread processor, while its predecessor the Core i9-109000K was a 10-core, 20-thread part. This is mainly because of the new Cypress Cove CPU cores and new Gen12 Xe iGPU on the chip. There just was not enough room on the chip to add more cores and it is really surprising that Intel is still stuck on 14nm.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor Review

Mon, 21 Dec 2020 09:00:46 +0000

The 5800X will bring you 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.8 GHz, boost up to 4.7 GHz, 32MB of L3 cache, and a TDP of 105W. AMD has really focused on single-core and gaming performance with the 5000 series of processors. That means that this processor not only can compete against Intel in gaming performance, but also in multi-core workloads. At $449 this processor is great for those who want a little more than the $299 6-core, 12-thread 5600X offers, but didn't want to take the plunge into the $549 12-core, 24-thread 5900X. Let's take a look and see what this processor can do!
