There are plenty of reasonably priced motherboards around with some dipping down to just over £100 plus a good array of smaller microATX and miniITX boards too.This means that with overclockable Kseries CPUs, at least, Intel is very much able to compet...
The Core i5-7600K lost its place as the dominant all-round CPU to AMD, which offered far superior multi-threaded performance for the same money, albeit with a hit in some games. The Core i5-8600K's two additional cores do a lot to improve the situation, b...

The new Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake CPUs certainly left us impressed, despite our own skepticism prior to their launch. I've been eager to see what else the new Coffee Lake CPUs have to offer, and today I have the Intel Core i5-8600K CPU going on our t...

PricingThe Intel Core i5-8600K is available now for around £340. That's a pretty decent price given the performance we've seen today, and it is quite a lot cheaper than the i7-8700K, which is around £480! Hopefully, we'll see AMD price more competitively...

Going into this review, we had plenty of questions. Bearing in mind how brutally powerful the 8700K is, to what extent is hyper-threading necessary? Is the i5 just as good once overclocking is factored into the mix? Just how fast is the more budget orient...
When news first leaked of Intel's jump from four to six cores with the new Coffee Lake processors, the biggest question we had concerned the relationship between the last-gen i7 and the next-gen i5. Surely six physical cores could trump four, even if hype...

This week Intel introduced their 8th generation Core-processors for desktop PCs, code name Coffee Lake. While the performance gain seemed to get smaller every time a new processor generation was released, Intel takes a big step this time. This is mostly b...
Have we already said that competition is good for the processor market this year? Intel takes, enforced by AMD or not, the biggest step in performance since the Nehalem-generation. Back then, in 2008, we saw 6-core Intel-processors for the first time in t...

Wrapping up with the 720p data first, these low-res results are important for a few reasons, though for some they can be a bit misleading. They're important because they show us the true difference between CPUs in these games. With any speed limits remove...

Intel's 8600K CPU changes the story significantly for the company's i5 lineup. When AMD's R5 CPUs launched, we noted that the i5-7600K 4C/4T CPU had a “ fading grasp, ” highlighting that the R5 1600(X) achieved close enough gaming performance while offeri...
The Intel i5-8600K is a return to an old argument. Before Ryzen's launch, and before the i5-7600K, the fact was that most i5 CPUs were perfectly adequate for gaming, if not more than adequate. As the i5 lineup aged, though, a game would occasionally fall...

Intel's new i7-9700K is available for about $400 to $430, which lands it between the 9900K – priced at around $550, on a good day – and the 8700K's $370 price-point. We got ours for $400, looking to test the new 8C/8T CPU versus the not-that-old 8700K and...
The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

Today we're reviewing the Intel i5-9600K CPU, a 6-core 8th-Generation refresh part that's been badged as a 9000-series CPU. The 9600K is familiar to the 8600K, except soldered and boosted in frequency. The new part costs roughly $250 and runs at 3.7GHz b...
By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also che...

Raven Ridge APUs are interesting as products. In a world where MSRP acted as an infallible decree handed down by galactic overlords, the GT 1030 would cost $70, the RX 560 would cost $100, and the G4560 would always have been $60. In this world, however...
The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3 2...
