Intel Core i9-10900K Review

With the Intel Core i9-10900K, Intel is hoping to take back the throne. Thanks to processors from its direct rival, like the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, the manufacturer has been losing performance battles left and right. It’s gone from its position as the de facto desktop CPU leader to the underdog, even losing some of its market share.

The flagship Intel Core i9-10900K, along with the rest of the Comet Lake-S lineup, is its attempt at changing that. And, what a valiant effort it is, bringing in a whopping 10 cores and 20 threads – that’s two extra cores over its predecessor, the Core i9-9900K – alongside boost clocks of up to 5.3GHz across one or two cores.

But, is that enough for the Intel Core i9-10900K to hold its own against Team Red? Not quite. It loses ground to the 9900K when it comes to raw gaming performance and doesn’t quite beat the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X in most processor-intensive workloads. Unfortunately, it isn’t excelling anywhere, and is hard to recommend.

performance

In multi-threaded workloads, the Intel Core i9-10900K still struggles against the Ryzen 3000 processors that dropped a year ago. The processor fares a bit better in single-threaded work, but with just about a 5% single-core increase over the 9900K, it’s not enough to hold off AMD.

The Core i9-10900K is still 10% behind the Ryzen 9 3900X in GeekBench 5’s multi core test. It gains back that exact number in single-core, with its 1,419 single-core GeekBench 5 result, compared to the 3900X’s 1,279. Intel holding the crown in single-core performance is nothing new though, which makes the 5% single-core improvement over the 9900K a bit lackluster.

In the 3DMark Time Spy test, the Core i9-10900K does manage to beat the 3900X by about 14% and even tops the 3950X by 8%. This test is significant, as it shows the potential these processors have in gaming, but the results change a bit when we look at the raw gaming performance in, you know, actual games.

4K gaming performance is pretty much equivalent across the board – which is to be expected. At this resolution games are entirely GPU bound, even with a monster graphics card like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti we tested with.

When we drop it down to 1080p, however, that’s where the real results show themselves. At this resolution, pretty much any processor is going to bottleneck the RTX 2080 Ti, so we can see exactly where each CPU falters. And, falter the 10900K did. In both Metro Exodus and Total War: Three Kingdoms, the 10900K came within margin of error of both the 9900K and the Ryzen 9 3900X.

However, when we switched over to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the story changed. This game hammers the CPU, as we expect many other games to do in the future, especially once the PS5 and Xbox Series X hit the streets later this year.

The Core i9-10900K falters here, delivering a 75 fps average at 1080p, compared to the 81 fps that the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X manages. That’s just an 8% difference, but that’s substantial when you consider that the 3900X is nearly a year old.

In traditional titles where single-core is king, the Intel Core i9-10900K manages to scrape by, keeping Intel’s status there. However, if you’re playing a lot of AAA PC games and plan to continue doing so over the next few years, the Intel Core i9-10900K isn’t quite there.

We do have to give credit where its due, however. The Intel Core i9-10900K is much stronger than the 9900K in content creation workloads. In Cinebench R20, which tests rendering, the 10900K manages a score of 6,296, compared to the 4,839 achieved by the 9900K. Then, in Handbrake, the 10900K managed an average of 76.66 fps, compared to the 9900K’s 65.48. That’s a difference of 23% and 15% respectively.

However, AMD does continue to be extremely strong in this arena, too, with the Ryzen 9 3900X getting 82.87 fps in Handbrake and 7,139 points in Cinebench R20.

When you consider the significant price you have to pay to get in on the action with the Intel Core i9-10900K, the performance just doesn’t match up. Even before the performance – when you consider that you’re paying for both a motherboard and a processor, and still aren’t getting PCIe 4.0, it’s definitely a hard sell.
