By improving on a few elements from the previous generation, this chip meets the expectations of a high-end, unlocked Core i7 CPU. It features eight physical cores, just like other 9th generation processors. Although its hyper-threading does not provide significant benefits, it does not affect performance. Higher turbo boost clock rates assure strong single-threaded performance, while eight cores stimulate simultaneous working. It is not attached to any cooler, yet solder TIM boosts thermal transfer significantly. The base frequency of the Intel 9th Generation Core i7-9700K Processor is 3.60 GHz, with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.90 GHz. It has a 12 MB SmartCache with 8 cores and 8 threads. It has an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 with an 8 GT/s DMI3 bus speed. This latest processor supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5, allowing for 4K resolution at 60Hz and a maximum number of supported screens. If you have the financial flexibility, it would be an excellent pick with a three-year guarantee.
