Review on 💻 Intel Core i9-10900KF 10-Core Desktop Processor, Up to 5.3 GHz, Unlocked, No Integrated Graphics, LGA1200 Socket (Intel 400 Series Chipset), 125W TDP by Jose Miller

This CPU is still the fastest clocked and DDR-optimized CPU I could buy right now. I bought this processor for math applications, photo editing, digital audio applications and of course gaming. I didn't care much about video rendering and graphics creation applications, and wasn't very interested in the CPU's capabilities for embedded video and graphics. And more importantly, I paid significantly less at the time of purchase, about $200 less than the $600 I'm looking at now. For my use and the price I paid, this processor is no less than eleven stars. However, if I had other CPU priorities, I would probably prefer AMD chips. Just a couple of notes: buy a well-tested MB (I chose MSI MEG Ace); Second, buy a reputable CPU cooler that has been tested with this CPU (I chose the Arctic 280mm AIO); and third, use a PC case that optimizes the efficiency of the cooling choices. I wouldn't spend a few hundred dollars on a CPU and then pick cheap key components that make the CPU easy to work with. And yes, this processor requires a discrete GPU, but here you can wait for an update and use the currently available GPU if the budget calls for it.
