INTEL'S NEW CPUs
Thanks to a good boot up the posterior by AMD, Intel is now back on a roll
and biting back. This month sees the release of three brand-new CPUs from the blue team, combining up to eight cores with sky-high clock frequencies, including boost speeds of up to 5GHz. What’s more, these new CPUs also see a return to soldered heatspreaders, which should reduce temperatures.
We’ve put all three new K-series chips, from the Core i5-9600K to the Core i9-9900K, through their paces in a number of gruelling tests to find out.
Along the way we’ll also show you how to overclock them and what memory works best with them. If you’re thinking of building a new system based on one of these chips, you’ll also want to check out our Z390 motherboard Labs test inside.
