Intel's Core i7 line has traditionally been the standard bearer for high-end, high performance PCs, often landing at the top of the best CPU charts. With the advent of the Core i9-9900K, however, it enters new territory as a middle ground between the 'extreme' Core i9 and the 'mainstream' Core i5 lines. With eight full cores but no Hyper-Threading, the Core i7-9700K ends up as a net win over the previous generation Core i7-8700K (and i7-8086K by extension). One thing that hasn't changed is the high price, with the 9700K effectively taking over the 8700K's $374 price point.
