Description
The Intel Core i9 10900E processor is based on the Comet Lake (10th Gen) microarchitecture (2020). It has 10 cores with 20 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 4.7 Ghz.
The Cache memory it incorporates is 20 MB. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time the processor requires to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly increasing performance.
It has the 1200 Socket and will need to be hosted on a motherboard with a corresponding Socket. Finally, a cooler is not included. You will need to purchase a separate cooler for the processor, which is necessary.
The Core i9 10900E is usually chosen by users for demanding gaming, heavy applications that fully utilize the processor's multi-thread capability, CAD, image editing, video, and audio processing. It also has integrated graphics that can be used for light gaming if your system does not have a more powerful dedicated graphics card.
Processors of the "Comet Lake" microarchitecture provide features such as Deep Learning AI with real-time data processing capability, optimized integrated graphics that provide smooth 4K streaming on multiple displays, high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 31% higher performance compared to the previous generation.
