INTEL Core i9 10900K 10th Generation Avengers Edition Processor ( 5.3 GHz / 10 Cores / 20 Threads )

Features of INTEL Core i9 10900K 10th Generation Avengers Edition Processor

The Intel Core- series of processors have now received their latest upgrade in the form of the Comet Lake Refresh. This new updated range brings some highly sought after improvements, including the fact that CPUs with unlocked multipliers now offer soldered heatspreaders (IHS). This enables heat to be more effectively dissipated away from the CPU, allowing higher clock frequencies over longer periods of time.

The Intel Core i9-10900K is the new flagship model of the Core 10,000- series and offers ten cores with Hyper-Threading (SMT), capable of processing up to 20 threads simultaneously. The enthusiast-class CPU is also capable of offering increased clock frequencies and optimised boost functions when compared to its predecessors. The TDP of this Ten-Core processor is 125 Watts. The processor is compatible with socket 1200 motherboards from the 400-series.

For memory we highly recommend the 8 Pack memory range manufacturered by TeamGroup to OcUK Specifications and recommend the dual channel 3200MHz and 3600MHz 16GB and 32GB Dual Channel kits available from this website for optimal performance and best overclocking ability.

The i9 Processorwith 10 cores, launched in April 2020, at an MSRP of $547. It is part of the Core i9 lineup, using the Comet Lake architecture with Socket 1200. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 20 threads. Core i9-10900K has 20 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 5.3 GHz, depending on the workload.

Intel is making the Core i9-10900K on a 14 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i9-10900K, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.

With a TDP of 125 W, the Core i9-10900K consumes a lot of power, so good cooling is definitely needed. Intel’s processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2933 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the system, Core i9-10900K uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection.

This Intel processor features the UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution.

Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i9-10900K, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
