Excellent, very fast CPU. If you know what you're doing and have right motherboard, you can reliably overclock this CPU from the base clock of 3.7 Ghz to 5.2 Ghz. The Intel processors have a lower latency in nanoseconds compared to AMD processors. The Intel processors are faster for gaming and desktop applications, compared to AMD Ryzen. The only area where Ryzen processors perform better is in multicore encoding, which is something that is better performed by dedicated hardware. For everyday desktop applications and gaming, you're better off with an Intel processor. The i5 9600K overclocks to within 2% of the i9 9900K, so it's an excellent value.

Really fast CPU!! I bought it to replace an old i7 4790k build. I was surprised that it is quicker and faster and games a lot better than it's predecessor at stock speeds! It runs comfortably cool on air, is stable and glitch free. Runs on an ASUS Z390 TUF with 32 gigs gskill ddr4 3600 ram, Noctua CPU cooler in a (new) sleeper Acer case. This will probably see me through the next 3 Intel releases no problem!

This 6 core processor is excellent it was easy to install in only minutes from unboxing to running. The i5 speed combined with 6 cores makes this a good alternative to the pricier i7 and i9 and not much lost in speed. It is a good high mid solution for gaming and graphic design works great and would buy again.

I decided to upgrade my desk top computer to a little more up to date, so I purchase this processor because it could be overclocked and it have a graphic interface. Got my new motherboard two days ago so I start rebuilding my system and fire it up and WOW!!! This thing was awesome running at 4.7 GHz.

The 9600K's only drawback is that it isn't hyper-threaded (1 core, 1 thread). But that's true of the entire 9 series until you get to the i9-9900K. This was Intel's answer to the pressure from AMD, much like the 7 series. BUT having said that, they made the cores faster, so gamers rejoice. This chip is faster than the 9700k, still has plenty of cores for the basics in video editing, and is more than the average user would need for most purposes. It also runs very cool in comparison to it's hyper-threaded siblings and the competition (although those are designed for more heat). If you're only going to game, or aren't a video/audio editor or power user then this CPU is superb. It's also pretty much bulletproof as far as longevity. I've had 2 i9-9900k's go bad now, and switched both over to 9600k's both times. Again, it's faster than the 9700k, just 2 less cores for multitasking.Read full review
