    • good price / performance ratio for system builders
Style: 9600K + Discrete Graphics Required
Solid choice with very good single-core performance. It's a minimalist product aimed at system builders-- there's literally nothing in the box other than the chip. What you should know, what's to like: * No onboard graphics. That means no display whatsoever without a discrete GPU. But this is good if you were doing a separate GPU anyway (and keeps the chip cheap). * No fan/heatsink included. If you're building an enthusiast system, that encourages you to pick something other than the so-so, noisy devices that were shipped with older Intel processors. * 6-core is substantial enough, since most desktop use isn't highly threaded (other than on the GPU). * 4.6 GHZ turboboost can't apply to all cores, but when just one core is pegged, it can go notably faster than the 3.7 GHZ base clock. * K series chips can be overclocked ("unlocked") with the appropriate mobo What's to not like: * Not much architectural change from 8th gen products (or 7th gen). It's the same 14nm process as 6th gen. * Intel keeps changing the processor sockets, so we have to keep buying new motherboards. * Runs fairly hot / high TDP by modern standards. Although this 9th-gen Intel CPU is not remarkably different from the 3 generations preceding it, and most of the buzz today is over the top-end processors and the competition with AMD and ARM... there's still many times you just want a basic, well-priced x86-64 processor, not the expensive headline grabbers. This one hits the price-performance point for your typical hobbyist or gamer. Recommended. ... show more

    • Better than the i7 for gaming
Style: 9600K + Discrete Graphics Required
I bought this for my son's computer. He likes shooting games and I wanted him to experience building his own system. My Ph.D. is in AI and I used to teach college. The i5 is simply more stable and less likely to glitch than the faster i7. In many ways, the i5 is faster because the operating system does not have to manage so many cores for what little they contribute while gaming. In gaming, it's the video card that is of primary importance. Having a stable CPU to manage the card makes more sense than having twice as many cores to impress your friends. ... show more

    • You need to make sure your mobo will accept the cpu you buy.

    • Unmatched single threaded performance
Style: 9700K + Discrete Graphics Required
While I find AMD's Ryzen 3 series to be impressive and worthy of consideration, ultimately single threaded performance is too important. I run a performance monitoring app 24/7, so that I can truly know where my bottlenecks are. 95% of the time that my system is waiting on the CPU it has idle cores, but one or more of the busy cores is maxed -- a single-thread bottleneck. This happens over a diverse range of applications, from my IDE, to web browser, to video games. AMD has a few products for this price that can thrash this in fully multi-threaded workloads. Yet, precious few workloads are threaded enough to benefit. If you are doing heavily threaded workloads, like compression or renders, look elsewhere. If you are a typical power user though, you will probably find better daily performance from a CPU like this. ... show more

    • Solid Performance, Underwhelming OC
Style: 9600K + Discrete Graphics Required
Base performance is exactly what I was expecting, and this is an excellent processor line for gaming as very few games use more than six cores. However, I was not impressed with the overclocking stability. I was able to get the processor to 4.6 MHz before I started seeing stability issues in benchmark tests. Reports of 5 GHz and higher I was seeing are either for people willing to sacrifice stability or they had a chip with fewer flaws. For the vast majority of people who just want a good gaming experience this is an excellent processor when paired with a Z390 or Z370 motherboard. If you want to being doing overclocking, however, I recommend spending the extra money and getting an i7 9th generation chip at the least. ... show more

Purchased as an upgrade for my sons computer and is excellent. The increase in speed was just what we were looking for so he can play his games. It was easy to install and no issues.

Review Image by Jorge Villanueva
Even though socket 1151 has been dead for a few years, its still a solid platform with nice cpus that you can still find at retail stores and websites. This 9600KF is a nice upgrade from someone that is currently using a I3 9100 or even an I5 9400. I just upgraded to this cpu from a 9400 and although is not noticeable in Windows, you can definitely notice a difference while gaming if your graphics card was bottlenecked by the processor. As of July of 2022 you can buy this Cpu $15 cheaper if you make the order thru the amazon Mobile app and is your first order using that app. ... show more
