Intel Core i9-9900K 8-Core 16-Thread Processor Review

Gaming Performance

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 200.35
Deus Ex Mankind Divided: 102.4/139.6
Ghost Recon Wildlands: 118.17/137.3
Far Cry Primal: 115/152

The gaming performance is certainly impressive, and it comes with little surprise that Intel still dominates the frame rate battle here. AMD certainly has strong competition when it comes to the price vs performance though, such as the Ryzen 5 2600X. Of course, most of this doesn’t come from the big core count, but rather the higher per-core speeds that Intel offer. While the i9-9900K didn’t set the fastest benchmarks, I honestly think with a more powerful cooler installed, it’s within easy reach to do so. It’s barely a handful of FPS from the top performers in these benchmarks.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
