Review: Intel 9th ​​Gen Core i9 9900K at 5GHz Visitor – just at cost

Be honest here: today's presenters are not interesting. We do not have exciting changes, and we have made a taste of doing something; adding more trees to it. But we are living in a time when computers are in place; Provide a measure of processing power that would last generations.

It is also a competitive time, especially with two companies; fight for your silicon wear and provide a good computer for your boat. On the one hand we have Intel, the 800-pound gorilla of the world's processor. On the other hand, we have AMD, the upstart that sticks to & # 39; fiscal occasionally by doing something unexpectedly to change the rules.

The 9th Gen Core Intel is 999K $ 9 to play for a proxy gamers tool. The S-series is the tallest model, built for a distance of eight pieces. In particular writing (which separates the work in a single heart in two parts), that is double for 16 threads, and each can go away at work different. There are two other chips in this series, the 8-core 3.6GHz $ 410 i7-9700K and the 6-core 3.7GHz $ 280 i5-9600K. These are similar, but they are looking at & # 39; Simplified writing, technology that is likely to be depleted by Intel as the number of provincial crimes has increased and increased; look at the company for ways to protect the best models of the best models. Although this new Intel bid is to increase your distance based on the test, it will cost you.

So what about this 9th generation? Intel is a bit unfamiliar with its concept, and the i9 9900K does not have a & # 39; show any business technology. It uses the only 14nm manufacturing process that will be used by 8 generation teams, as Intel says that it is struggling to expand chips with a new 10nm process that would make quicker and more efficient company teams. The Core i9 9900K does not show any new architecture: it's a & # 39; Using the same architecture of Coffee Lake as the oldest 8th generation.

What is 9th gin means that this is only a small spinning on the same basic process, just with fast obstacles and internal changes that make it more flexible. Although most of these changes are fine, someone is in a position; giving enough value – especially better turbo performance and a new way to heat off its processor.

The 8 editors introduced a turbo mode, which one of the most powerful games could give a quicker speed that gave it an extra chance. The 8th gen 7-780KK could prevent one of the six that would require 5GHz, for example. This 9th gene makes this a little more flexible; long as it is & # 39; comes with a normal clock of 3.6Ghz, the i9-9900K can hit any 5GHz process, four offsets to 4.8GHz, and every eight to 4.6GHz. If a lot of work runs on one heart, that will be move up to 5GHz, as long as others will pull it down to remove the heat.

That situation is often happening outside the signs of synthesis signs, although the most inscribed programs become multi-composite, and & quot; mean that they are able to run several different crannogs at the same time. So, you do not usually want to see its & # 39; 5GHz faster tour. Instead, you will usually see its & # 39; This process runs at a crucial pace of 4.8 and 4.6GHz, with always every broadcast; grow as the actions begin and start; finished. All of these aggressive clocks are designed to do one thing: keep the energy down (and thus heat the process to discharge).

This brings us to the current current main gen: STIM development. Intel has a feature called "Material Interface Thermal Interface" (STIM), a metal rod on the top of the silicon skipper that is causing heat. This is going to & # 39; Theory, the heat, the heat; better than the thermal behaviors used by Intel on previous editors under the metal heat spreader that covers and protect the skip. Some distributors tried, who were unhappy with listening to Intel cool teams, somewhat fragile that is; Exit the removal of the metal heat distribution that is in place; protect their process, a & # 39; removing the thermal conductor, and direct connection directly to heat. Intel says that STIM will be able to eliminate the need for this, but we found that the feature was not as effective as it was hoping. In exams, this is a hot, small-skipper that requires a lot of cooling to work effectively.
