INTEL Core i9 10900KA 10th Generation Avengers Edition Processor ( 5.3 GHz / 10 Cores / 20 Threads )

Product Description

Intel Core i9-10900K 10th Gen Avengers Edition Processor Features

The Intel Core i9-10900K belongs to the latest generation of Intel processors, the Comet Lake Refresh, offering significant enhancements over its predecessors. One of the key upgrades is the introduction of soldered heatspreaders (IHS) for CPUs with unlocked multipliers, allowing better heat dissipation. This innovation enables the CPU to maintain higher clock speeds for extended periods without overheating.

As the flagship processor of Intel’s 10th-generation Core i9 series, the i9-10900K is equipped with 10 cores and Intel Hyper-Threading (SMT) technology, enabling it to handle up to 20 threads simultaneously. This processor is engineered for enthusiasts and delivers improved clock speeds and optimized boost functions compared to previous models. Its TDP (Thermal Design Power) is rated at 125W, and it is compatible with Socket 1200 motherboards from Intel’s 400-series.

For optimal performance and overclocking capabilities, we recommend pairing the i9-10900K with 8 Pack memory kits manufactured by TeamGroup, available in dual-channel 16GB or 32GB kits at speeds of 3200MHz or 3600MHz.

The i9-10900K processor was launched in April 2020, with an MSRP of $547. It operates with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and can boost up to 5.3 GHz under heavy workloads. It also includes 20MB of L3 cache and is built on a 14nm production node, though its exact transistor count is not specified. The unlocked multiplier makes overclocking straightforward, allowing users to fine-tune the CPU’s performance.

Given its 125W TDP, the i9-10900K requires effective cooling. It supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel configuration, officially supporting speeds up to 2933 MT/s. However, with proper overclocking, users can push memory speeds higher. Communication with other system components is handled via PCIe Gen 3.

This processor also includes the Intel UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics solution, although for optimal gaming and performance, a dedicated GPU is recommended.

The i9-10900K also supports hardware virtualization, enhancing performance for virtual machines. It is equipped with Intel AVX and AVX2 instruction sets to boost performance for computation-heavy tasks, although it does not support AVX-512.
