Notes

The Core i9-10900KF offers 10 cores and 20 threads with unlocked multiplier minus integrated graphics on Comet Lake. Boosting up to 5.3 GHz, it delivers flagship-level performance identical to the 10900K at reduced cost for users with discrete GPUs. This processor provides excellent gaming and productivity capabilities, offering 2 more cores than the succeeding 11900K. Despite being 10th gen, it remains highly capable and often represents better value than 11th gen flagships. Suitable for enthusiast builds with discrete GPUs seeking strong multi-threaded performance and overclocking potential.
