Review on Unlocked Intel Core i7-10700K Processor: 8 Cores up to 5.1 GHz for Powerful Desktop Performance with LGA1200 Socket (Intel 400 Series Chipset) by Renee Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

8 cores and 16 threads!

I've been into computers for a while. I've had several different platforms including AMD and INTEL. I upgraded from i7 7700k. The 4-core, 8-thread 7700k is showing its age with the recent push for more cores. I was talking about getting an AMD 3900x. The pull of 10 cores and 20 threads was great, but at the cost of core clock speeds. I'm a gamer at heart and rarely edit videos/photos. The decision was made in my head and I bought the 10700k. Out of the box, the 10700k overclocks to 5.1 GHz. Yes, 5.1 GHz is madness. While Intel still uses a 14nm architecture compared to AMD's 7nm architecture, Intel has refined the process to undoubtedly still outperform AMD in gaming. I have no complaints about 10700k. Good to know I won't have to upgrade for many years.
