  • Intel Core i5 does it again...
Pattern: Desktop Processor
I have been building my own gaming pc's since 2011. In an effort to save a few $$, I opt to use the i5 vs the i7 and go for a higher end graphics card. While this may not be the optimal choice for most gamers, it has been a good working strategy for me. The gaming pc's I have built have been serviceable for as long as 5 years, with my last one retired utilizing an i5 3570K which my wife had been using when I upgraded my system in 2017 toan i5 7600K. Both of these sysytems rocked gaming for me, never a problem, glitch, slowing of frame rates etc. When the 3570K system started having some motherboard issues, I rebuilt a pc for my wife integrating the bulk of my 2017 i5 7600k build into it. She has a blazing fast pc and is quite content with it. Filling the void, I built my current system with the Core i5 9600K, using a 1TB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 ssd as the main drive and a Samsung 1TB evo ssd for secondary. This is the fastest pc I have ever owned, with remarkably fast boot up and loading speads. The M.2 ssd makes boot time from the appearance of the bios screen to Windows between 4.2 seconds the fastest and 4.8 seconds being the slowest...remarkable. Gameplay is fantastic. I mostly play FPS & 3rd person shooters, and a few other type games like the Tomb Raider series. It may of course be my imagination, but evrything appears to be faster, more sharp and extremely fluid. I' sold on this cpu! I would definitely recommend it. Pros: Everything! Cons: None! ... show more

  • Me impresionó bastante
Pattern: Desktop Processor
Primero comenzaré con el envío: Pedí ésto a casi mediados de septiembre y tenía fecha de llegada para el 1 de octubre pagando el envío más caro (en ese tiempo se demoraba entre 3 a 5 días hábiles). Al llegar a la fecha de entrega, me aparece una notificación de "llegará hoy", pero el producto ni siquiera tenía estado "enviado". Al día siguiente, me avisan por correo y decían que el producto ya no tenía una fecha determinada de envío y que me notificarían apenas estuviera. Entre tanto trámite, me terminó llegando casi a finales de octubre con casi 1 mes y medio de demora desde el momento en que fue comprado CON EL ENVÍO MÁS RÁPIDO. Después de toda esta situación, vi que amazon cambió los precios y tiempos de despacho para los envíos (y el más caro ahora es bastante barato). Todo esto es la razón por la que doy 4 y no 5 estrellas. Ahora el producto: Muy bueno. Llegó en muy buen estado y no tuve ningún problema hasta el momento, siendo la primera vez que armo una computadora. Pedí la versión con gráficos integrados mientras compro una GPU y no me arrepiento, a pesar de que las integradas de intel tengan un poco de mala fama, me ha servido para jugar en ultra en algunos juegos y estoy totalmente satisfecho. No he podido aprovecharla más para decir hasta qué punto rinden bien las integradas, quizás edite la opinión cuando tenga tiempo y pueda ocupar más la PC. ... show more

  • Best Intel CPU if your EGO is not large enough
Pattern: Desktop Processor
I was really debating for a long time whether to go with Intel or AMD. I know that lately AMD offers SKUs with very strong capabilities and good price points that made my decision making process very complicated. In reality, many of us do not need the workstation horsepower of the AMD Ryzen or the i9 9900k. I surf the web, day trade, play Need-for-Speed and Hitman, and this I5 9600k is so good. I overclocked it to 5.1 and 5.2, run the Cinnebench R15 and R20 and the system is stable. The max uncore I achieved is 48. It does not go higher than that. For 5.2 Mhz, I have to increase the power in order to be stable. I have not crashed it on 5.0 and 5.1 Mhz, but for 5.2, I have to play with the power settings. I do not play multiplayer online games, so I hear that this CPU is not good for that. If you are thinking to play in such environment, you should either opt for i7 9700k/ i9 9900k. I still think that AMDs zen 1 and zen 2 are very good CPUs and their price point is way better than Intel, so it is difficult to choose one. I know that AMD requires more expensive RAM modules, but you can go with a cheaper b450 mother board, so you can build an overall better machine for the money. On the other hand, I use very specialized software and I do not want to run into optimization issues. If you ask me whether I would buy this CPU again. My answer is, I need to check my EGO first, which is bigger than I want it to be. In reality, this CPU is way above for what I need it. My system is about 60% faster than my 4th i7 CPU. ... show more

  • Great gaming CPU but better options with Ryzen for $200
Pattern: Desktop Processor
Intel does one thing really well all the time. And that single core performance. The i-5 has a super crazy high clock speed, with turbo or manual overclocking. So for $200 you can really get a lot out of this chip. In my experience, mainly using this chip as a workstation CPU, I find that it's a little lackluster especially for 4K video editing but that's just due to the nature of it being a more or less budget CPU. If you want the best bang for the buck, then the AMD Ryzen 5/7 line can be had for a lesser price (or same price for a ryzen 7) and you will have much better threading performance which is very useful for video editing and rendering. As a gaming PC, this thing rang SWBF2 at ultra setting without a hiccup thanks to a beast graphics card so no complaints as a casual gaming chip. Overall, if you are not buying a motherboard that can over clock this CPU, you're wasting your money. The i-5 shines when you start boosting it. Especially for gaming and tasks that don't require multiple cores for optimized usage. Be warned it does run a little hot because of it's high voltage and the fans will start spinning fast early. Be sure to buy a silent fan or don't go cheap on water coolers with cheap fans. ... show more
