The Core i9-9900K might Intel’s new flagship processor for its mainstream lineup of CPUs, but we’re far more interested in the new Core i7-9700K. For one thing, the Intel Core i7-9700K might be the company’s most controversial chip in years due to its lack of hyper-threading – otherwise known as Intel’s buzzword for parallel computing for heavy multi-tasking.

Intel has dropped hyper-threading on its lower-end, budget processor before, but this is a high-end processor meant for gamers and creatives. Despite our reservations, this Coffee Lake Refresh processor has surprised as a well-performing CPU so far.
