This is the system we used to test desktop CPU performance:ĬPU Cooler: Cooler Master Masterliquid 360P Silver Edition
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, however, does support this technology, but it's not quite as strong in current games, so you're going to have to decide what matters more to you: what's the best right now or what will be best in the next year. That is likely to change once the next-generation gaming consoles launch, but because this is a mid-range mainstream processor, we don't think that's necessarily a deal-breaker. As things stand right now, this isn't a huge deal – PCIe 4.0 SSDs are very expensive, and while they are faster, they won't directly translate into better gaming performance. Intel Comet Lake-S doesn't support PCIe 4.0, which means the latest and greatest NVMe SSDs are incompatible with this platform. If you're playing a lot of esports that rely on high clock speeds more than anything else, this higher boost clock certainly can't hurt, and the inclusion of Hyper-Threading on a K-series Core i5 for the first time will help this processor have more utility than just a gaming chip. This is slightly higher than the 4.6GHz single-core Boost of the 9600K, but much higher than the 4.4GHz of the Ryzen 5 3600X. The Intel Core i5-10600K has a single-core Turbo Boost of 4.8GHz and 4.5GHz for an all-core Turbo Boost. Again, Intel has thinned out the silicon and implemented a thicker IHS, which means that in our normal testing – again, discounting Prime95, which doesn't reflect normal usage – we didn't see temperatures above 62C, which is exactly what the Core i5-9600K peaked at.Īnother thing this higher power consumption allows is high clock speeds. Ordinarily, a rise in power consumption would mean a rise in temperatures, but we didn't actually see that happen. That is a lot higher than the peak 84.06W we saw with the Core i5-9600K, but it's still far below the TDP, which at least means there's likely a lot of overclocking headroom – something Intel Core i5 K-series chips are beloved for. Instead, throughout all our normal testing, we didn't see power usage spike above 99.18W. This means that while power consumption is higher than its 9th-generation counterpart, we didn't actually see the Core i5-10600K break 100W until we ran it through Prime95 – where it hit 140.41W – you won't see that kind of power consumption spike in your everyday workloads. The TDP (thermal design power) has been raised all the way up to 125W, and to compensate for this, Intel has thinned out the layer of silicon in order to include a thicker heat spreader. This does mean that IPC performance remains largely the same, but don't think that Intel has completely rested on its laurels. The Intel Core i5-10600K, like the rest of the Comet Lake-S lineup, is based on yet another revision of the 14nm Skylake architecture. (Image credit: Infogram Future) Features and chipset
