The Intel Core i9 Processors has come out to the general public! According to Intel The 9th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors the first unlocked mainstream desktop processor! Is the Intel Core i9 Processors are unlocked? According to the Following speed test is MUCH better than the Intel Core i7-7700K; See the following Speed Test chart found on PassMark

This Intel Core i9-7900X speed is almost two times the amount of the Intel Core i7-7700K but what is the Dollar Amount to the speed and the Dollar Amount to the Benchmark (CPU Mark / $Price) You can find to pay around ONE Thousand Dollar which is a hefty price tag if you are a casual gamer! In fact, NewEgg priced this processor at a hefty $929.99! This was accessed Christmas 2018 but that is still a lot for a processor... This processor is NOT worth buying at this point because of the fact it is better in performance but is not better to performance for the price tag! See the Chart below that compares other processors to the Intel i9-7900X

Personally, I feel like this processor is not worth the hefty price tag that is one its bounty! If you are a streamer or a professional competitive gamer it is NO QUESTIONS ASKED worth it BUT if you are a casual gamer an Intel i7 would work just a well as an Intel i9 would work for you! This processor is JUST not worth it for the average person as of Christmas of 2018!

I don't know where you read this, but it's definitely not true.

What exactly is the point of this review? You reviewed a CPU that has technically already been replaced, and from the standpoint of gaming? And of course:

What?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Damn, you're right... that's definitely a lie.

It's true that it's unlocked, it's not true that its the first one.

You're also looking at the wrong cpu - the intel page is talking about the i9 9900k.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

The mulitiplier is unlocked, that's not the lie. The lie is that Intel says it's "the first unlocked mainstream CPU", which it isn't.

 

And is thread about the 9900K or 7900X?

The i9 9900k, which you appear to have confused with the i9 7900X, is the fastest gaming CPU but is crazy overpriced. It is also fully unlocked. Inserting this correction into your review, it makes much more sense, but your review is still a little redundant.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Punctuation. Also, re-read your first bit. Some sentences don’t make any sense.

umm...

the 9900k is unlocked, thats what the k means

 

 

They "claim" its unlocked but I don't buy it based on the stats of the processor... If it is unlocked it doesn't perform what they claim it should

Huh?

 

What do you mean it doesn't perform as they claim?

 

Look here, they overclocked it to 5.0 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/22

If it was locked you can't overclock it.
