Notes

The Core i9-10900 features 10 cores and 20 threads with 65W base TDP on Comet Lake, boosting up to 5.2 GHz. This locked processor delivers flagship 10th gen performance without overclocking capability, offering excellent multi-threaded capabilities for content creation. Perfect for pre-built systems and users preferring locked processors with better efficiency than K-series. Despite being 10th gen, it remains highly capable with 2 more cores than the succeeding 11900. Often represents better value than 11th gen flagships while maintaining strong gaming and productivity performance at competitive pricing.
