Following the official release date, pricing and specs announcement of the Intel i9 9900K CPU, Intel shared several game benchmarks where the processor crushed all competition, including the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Some of these benchmarks were published by PCGamesN, but renown YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed quickly pointed out in a video titled Intel’s New Low: Commissioning Misleading Core i9-9900K Benchmarks that the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU had been handicapped by suboptimal memory timings used in the test.

Following these reports, we reached out to Principled Technologies (which conducted the benchmark commissioned by Intel) asking for a comment. We just got a reply from Bill Catchings, co-founder of Principled Technologies, and we’ve posted it below as is.
