the next generation of Intel desktop
CPUs are here
say hello to Intel's 10th Gen Core
processors here's what you need to know
10th gen brings a full new lineup of
Intel CPUs from the low-cost AI threes
all the way up to the high performance
i9 models capped off by the i-9 10900 K
different specific cpu models will be
right for different use cases if you're
looking for elite gaming performance and
plan on streaming or content creation
you'll want to look at the higher-end
options if you're a more typical gamer
you'll probably get all you need from an
i7 or maybe even an i-5 these are tenth
generation CPUs after all so even the
more modest offerings come packed with
technological advancements that make
them attractive for modern PC users one
example of that tech is hyper threading
which allows the CPU to treat its
physical cores as multiple virtual cores
known as threads this can improve
performance and efficiency and makes
your CPU better at tackling multiple
applications at the same time previously
hyper threading was only present in some
of Intel CPUs for the tenth gen core
processors you'll find it up and down
their entire lineup Intel's a 9/10 gen
CPUs feature 10 cores and 20 threads
along with up to 5 point 3 gigahertz of
maximum clock speed the i7s can reach
5.1 gigahertz with 8 cores and 16
threads the i5s hit 4.8 gigahertz with 6
cores and 12 threads and b.i 3s hit 4.6
gigahertz with 4 cores and 8 threads
even when looking at the i3 S&I fives
we're talking about CPUs that can be
great for general PC productivity and
casual gaming do you have somebody in
your life that wants a PC that won't lag
on them when they're watching YouTube
and playing Fortnight you can build them
one with a new 10th gen AI 5 and they'll
be very happy with the results the top
of the line 10th gen core processor from
Intel is the AI 910 900 K and that's the
model Intel as advertising is the
world's fastest gaming processor what
does that mean well right out of the box
with the 10900 K you'll get a CP
you capable of hitting a 5.3 gigahertz
clock speed on a single core now that's
a maximum clock speed you're only going
to see occasionally using Intel's
thermal velocity boost tech but it's
still seriously impressive for a CPU
before any aftermarket overclocking and
while modern games are becoming more
core hungry it's still the case that
strong single core performance can give
you a significant boost in most gaming
titles when you're talking about an
Intel processor you're talking about a
piece of tech that combines a ton of
different technologies Intel has
developed and optimized over the years
this new generation takes advantage of
just about everything Intel has to offer
so let's take a look at a few of the
highlights you're getting beyond the
strong out-of-the-box performance first
for the overclockable CPU options and
those are the ones with the letter K at
the end of their names you'll be able to
take advantage of Intel's precision
overclocking tools the overclocking
market is an important part of the PC
enthusiasts world and with 10th gen
Intel is offering improved voltage
frequency control and the ability to
enable or disable hyper threading on a
per core basis that's something that
will appeal to advanced overclockers
much more than typical gamers but it's
always nice to have more tweaking
options the 10th gen core processors
also offer Intel's turbo boost max
technology something the company has
been refining for a while now turbo
boost max identifies the best performing
cores in your CPU and uses them to
deliver better performance without
increased voltage because of how cpus
are made different cores will be capable
of different performance peaks with
turbo boost max your system will
automatically figure out the top two
cores in your system offering you
improved single and dual core
performance across many common
applications the new generation also
comes with improvements across the board
for supported memory speeds a faster 2.5
g intel lan connection and intel Wi-Fi 6
with gig plus technology of course
taking advantage of these advancements
will depend on having the right
components and network environment but
still 10th gen is offering you better
see
you performance and a higher ceiling for
both your RAM and internet speeds
Intel's 10th gen CPUs are a true
generational upgrade which means they
come with a new socket and chipset and
will require new motherboards all the
major manufacturers are coming out with
a variety of new z4 90 models including
a soos asrock gigabyte and MSI so you're
going to have a ton of choices when it
comes to choosing the backbone for your
new 10th gen build we'll be covering
those new motherboard options in
separate videos on our channel so make
sure you keep an eye out for our future
coverage at a basic level you'll have
your choice of motherboards at different
price points offering different options
if you're an overclocking enthusiast
wanting to push the 10th gen CPUs as far
as they can go you'll want a high-end
board build with liquid cooling in mind
and for a lot of intel's enhanced
offerings with 10th gen like that 2.5 g
ethernet connection it's up to the
motherboard manufacturers to actually
take advantage of what 10th gen can do
make sure you do your research so you
know what you'll be getting the 10th gen
Intel Core processors and z4 90
motherboards are available on newegg.com
