i9-9900
- The i9-9900 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
- The i9-9900 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.
i9-9900K
- The i9-9900K has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
- The i9-9900K has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
- The i9-9900K has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
- The i9-9900K has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
- For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU’s with higher core count and lower core speed.
- The i9-9900K has a higher turbo clock boost. Turbo Boost is a CPU feature that will run CPU clock speed faster than its base clock, if certain conditions are present. It will enable older software that runs on fewer cores, to perform better on newer hardware. Since games are software too, it is also applicable to them.

Really nice machine.
After 2 weeks of using it I am very happy with it. One minor problem with bottom fan RGB in which it only illuminates white, but its still an amazing machine and worth it. I’m sure I can figure out how to debug and fix that. Anyways only complaint would be to give better updates on assembly and delivery — fast, powerful, beautiful to look

OMEN 25L Gaming Desktop GT15-0340qd
With the age of online education, I needed a computer system that offered multitasking capabilities, but with a speedy operational speed. This system provides such with the systems processor speed and 16G RAM. Now, I am able to open, toggle betwwen, several programs requiring sufficient pre-loading memory and processing speed for fast transitioning between programs. Quite pleased with my purchase, except for the bulky box (unit) size. However, that is not a true negative, just take away from desktop or under-desk working space.

Beautiful and sleek design.
Fast computing, great graphics easy set up. I wish it had come with the Omen gaming keyboard and mouse, as opposed to a normal HP one, but I’m glad it came with any at all. The purchase was supposed to come with an Omen mouse pad as a free gift, but they were out of stock so I didn’t get one. It would have been nice if they sent it whenever they were restocked, but again, the computer is great and I’m very happy with the price. I got it on sale for 1400 from 1800, then used the gaming coupon code to get an additional 10% off.

Intel i9-9900K, i9-9980XE and i9-9900X Test Results (Update 5)
Yesterday Intel introduced new lines of desktop processors.
Of these, the most interesting is the ninth generation of Core processors, which has acquired a CPU with eight physical cores and 16 threads, namely the Core i9-9900K. In November, the Basin Falls platform will also be updated, processors will receive a small increase in clock speed. In the workstation segment, you can expect the Xeon W-3175X with 28 cores and an open multiplier as a competitor to the Ryzen Threadripper processors. nine0003
Intel calls the Core i9-9900K the fastest desktop processor and lists its own test results. Unfortunately, until the results of independent tests appear, we will have to be content with Intel data. The chip giant used Principled Technologies (PDF) to test three new processors. In particular, the Core i9-9900K, Core i9-9980XE and Core i9-9900X were tested. Results compared to Core i7-8700K, Core i7-8086K, Ryzen 7 2700X and two Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX and 2950X.

In addition to the selected benchmarks, scenes in 12 games were tested. Of course, games react to CPU performance in different ways. In some, the difference is a few percent, in others it exceeds 50%.
When considering performance gains across all benchmarks, the new Core i9-9900K is between 2 and 20% faster than the Core i7-8700K or Core i7-8086K.
But more interesting is the comparison with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Here, Intel indicates a performance gain of 20 to 50%. nine0003
Benchmarks and games focus on gaming performance of the Core i9-9900K. Meanwhile, the updated 18-core Core i9-9980XE shows its advantages only in work applications. And in them, a comparison with Ryzen Threadripper would be much more interesting.
In any case, these values allow you to roughly estimate the performance of new processors. It is not yet entirely clear when exactly the new CPUs will be available and when independent tests can be expected. nine0003
Update 1:
The Taiwanese edition of Computerdiy.com.tw published several tests of the Intel Core i9-9900K, among which there are benchmarks that can better load eight CPU cores. Since Cinebench R15 scales well with the number of cores, below are the Computerdiy results, comparing them with other processors.

Update 2:
First, I would like to respond to criticism regarding the publication of test results provided by the manufacturer on the Hardwareluxx pages.
Readers’ interest in new processors is very high, which prompted us to publish test results. But we have mentioned several times that they are provided by Intel, all the test conditions are given in the PDF document. nine0003
An oversight was made on our part — we did not study the circumstances of the tests in depth. As for the choice of test scenes, you can always find a reason for criticism here, since manufacturers prefer certain scenes that work better on their components. The test scenes can be far from ideally chosen, but here we can only answer with our own tests in which we select the scenes independently.
The methodology of testing raises more serious questions. For example, a memory configuration that is good for Intel processors, but that AMD processors have problems with. Which is manifested in the alternation of banks and unnecessary delays. Also, the Multicore Enhancement function was turned on and off, which complicates a direct comparison of Intel processors.
Also, instead of the same cooler, which could be installed on different sockets using adapters, different coolers were used here. Accordingly, they can affect temperatures and frequencies. nine0003
But the biggest criticism is that Principled Technologies, chosen by Intel for testing, used Game Mode for all AMD processors. In the case of gaming tests on the Ryzen Threadripper, this mode makes sense, but for the Ryzen 7 2700X, it leads to the fact that one CCX unit out of two is working, that is, only four out of eight cores are active.
As we mentioned above, the test results provided by the manufacturer should be approached with a grain of salt. We (yet) do not see any grounds for accusing Intel or Principled Technologies of deliberately misrepresenting the facts, but it is always worth once again making sure that the comparison is being made fairly. nine0003
Update 3
Principled Technologies decided to respond to criticism (PDF). Including for testing the Ryzen 7 2700X in Game Mode.
But the company explains this step with a unified approach to testing Ryzen Threadripper processors. They provide better performance in Game Mode, but in the case of a regular Ryzen processor, the Game Mode test no longer makes sense, since the cores are significantly reduced.
«Based on AMD’s recommendations and our initial testing on the Threadripper processors, we found installing the AMD Ryzen Master utility and enabling the Game Mode increased most results. For consistency purposes, we did that for all AMD systems across Threadripper and Ryzen. We are now doing additional testing with the AMD systems in Creator Mode. We will update the report with the new results.» nine0128
As for the memory settings, no new information has appeared here. At the very least, it’s mentioned that Game Mode for the Ryzen 7 2700X isn’t the smartest setting, and the company will be testing Creator Mode soon.
GamersNexus posted a video of the Intel benchmarks:
«We are reeply appreciated of the work of the reviewer community and expect that over the weeks coming additional testing will continue to show that the 9th Gen Intel Core-i9-9900K is the world’s best gaming processor.
Principle Technologies conducted this initial testing using systems running in spec, configured to show CPU performance and has published the configurations used. The data is consistent with what we have seen in our labs, and we look forward to seeing the results from additional third party testing in the coming weeks.» Tested not only in Game Mode, but also in Creators Mode, as a result, the Ryzen 7 2700X showed an increase in performance, since there were no longer four active cores, but eight.As for the Ryzen Threadripper, here the gaming performance in Creators Mode, on the contrary, decreased slightly .Compared to Core i9The Ryzen 7 2700X’s -9900K lag has narrowed somewhat, allowing for a different look at the performance picture in some cases.
We’ve redone the charts with new information, namely Ryzen 7 2700X in Creators Mode. But questions about Principled Technologies tests still remain. Including they relate to the memory configuration.
Update 5
Of course, it is always difficult to compare your own products with competitors or to order such a comparison.
And manufacturers, as a rule, do without such comparisons. AMD has published a Best Practice guide that outlines exactly how the company would like to see Principled Technologies test its processors. According to AMD, the tests were performed with incorrect settings, implying certain optimizations on Intel systems, but the correct optimization of the memory system for the Ryzen 7 2700X was not carried out. Therefore, the results cannot be called reliable. nine0003
AMD has indirectly asked Principled Technologies for a third update of their benchmarks. But we probably won’t see him. Nevertheless, independent tests of processors have already been released, for example, we have already compared the Intel Core i9-9900K with AMD processors.

Monero Hashrate kH/s
Monero has been using the RandomX algorithm since November 2019. This PoW (proof of work) algorithm can only be computed efficiently using either a processor (CPU) or a graphics card (GPU). The CryptoNight algorithm was used for Monero until November 2019, but it could be calculated using ASICs. RandomX benefits from a large number of CPU cores, cache, and fast memory connectivity through as many memory channels as possible.
