Having already reviewed Intel’s splendid 12th generation Alder Lake premium Core i9-12900K and the equally impressive budget Core i5-12600K, both in their unlocked “K” variant, it’s time to check out the middle of road Intel Core i7-12700.

With Intel’s Alder Lake it’s just another generation of CPUs for those just buying a new PC, but it’s a fresh start for most upgraders. First, you’ll need a new motherboard, with a 6XX-series chipset, the flagship being the Z690 with all the bells and whistles. To get the most out of the CPU, Intel recommends new (and very expensive) DDR5 memory, although many motherboard vendors still manufacture DDR4 versions compatible with the Alder Lake CPUs.

The CPUs themselves are slightly longer with a new LGA 1700 socket, so you will also need to ensure that your existing cooling solution is compatible if you are upgrading your rig.

Unlike its previously tested stablemates, the Core i7-12700 set for review lacked the “K” suffix meaning that the i7 Alder Lake CPU’s frequencies were locked. This meant no overclocking, even with my Asus TUF motherboard’s easy one-touch AI overclocking.

In keeping with the other 12th generation CPUs that I’ve tested, I used a selection of benchmarks representing office applications, photo and video editing, gaming, and 3D rendering to gauge performance. These included premium professional testing tools such as UL Procyon and Crossmark as well as the more consumer-orientated PC Mark, 3D Mark, Performance Mark, and Cinebench.

I used the same machine as well, an ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4 motherboard with CPU cooling via a Corsair H150i Elite LCD all-in-one cooler, 16GB of Kingston Fury Renegade DDR4-4600 RAM, and Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti GPU, all housed in a Corsair 7000D Airflow tower case.

You’ll note that I’m still running DDR4 memory, and this is by design, as the previous CPU tests were made before DDR5 modules were available. Sticking with the same setup affords a better comparison with this component and its siblings. Using DDR5 memory may improve performance over DDR4 but how much, and if it’s worth the investment right now, will be something that I will be looking into in an upcoming article.

As with previous Core i7s, the Core i7-12700 is a performance component aimed at power users, creatives, and serious gamers. The locked Core i7-12700 affords a small $20-odd cost-saving for people that are not into overclocking their PCs .

The i5 is more for everyday gaming, although it runs very cool and is easy to overclock. The i9, on the other hand, is as expensive as it is powerful, an overkill for most applications that don’t need to make use of multiple threads.

My i5 vs i9 review was easy: i9 for the well-heel performance lunatics and the i5 for sensible folk that want a fast CPU (that can be easily made to go a bit faster) at a nice price. Adding the i7 into the mix muddies the water, somewhat.

The Intel i7-12700 has 12 cores and 20 threads compared to the i9-12900K’s 16 cores and 24 threads and the i5-12600K’s 10 cores and 16 threads. The specification of the three CPUs staggers in a sensible manner.

For the 12th generation, CPUs Intel has split the cores into two types: “efficient core” for the general housekeeping tasks and “performance cores” for the heavy lifting. The i7 comes with eight performance cores and four efficient cores. The performance cores have a base frequency of 3.60 GHz and a Max boost of 5.0 GHz.

In pretty much all of the benchmarks the i7 results, rather predictably, sat between the results for the i5 and the i9 alder Lake CPUs. There were a few anomalies, most notably Crossmark tests, the UL Procyon video editing test, and the generic results from Procyon’s stablemate, PC Mark. The PC Mark application test and extended test results were, however, exactly as I’d expect.

Running a stress test using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, with all cores at 100%, garnered an average temperature of about 60 degrees maxing out at 71 degrees. This was with the Corsair H150i still running quietly as you would in an office environment.

The benchmark tests highlighted the major advantage that the i7 has over the i5 and why it may not be for everyone. When you look at the 3D Mark CPU profile results, the i7 is clearly superior to the i5 with all the cores firing, as the threads diminish, so does the performance gap, with one and four threads showing less performance than the i5.

There could be a number of factors in this, but if you look at the single-core performance of the Cinebench R.23 test, the results for the i5 and i7 are (rather coincidentally) the same.

I’m comparing the unlocked versions of the 12th-gen i9 and i5 with the locked i7. In an Asus motherboard, like the TUF Gaming Z690, the Taiwanese manufacturer offers users a painless basic AI overclock that I took advantage of with the other unlocked CPUs. So, whilst the i9 and i5 results are slightly higher due to this, the same is not afforded to the locked i7. It’s likely the small edge that the mild i5 overclock has that is responsible for the anomalous Crossmark and Procyon video editing results. With the Asus AI overclock I got the i5 running pretty much on par with the stock frequencies of the locked i7, giving the more expensive CPU an advantage only in the number of cores on board.

Whilst the i9 has the solid grunt to out-perform the i5 across the board, you can see the diminishing return as fewer cores are engaged. And this is the thing will all microprocessors be them GPUs or CPUs. If you are not going to take full advantage of them, you are wasting your money.

Applications that employ all of the i7s cores are going to perform better and are potentially worth the investment over the i5. This includes some modern games, but many will still only utilise a few of the i7s capabilities. Of course, if you are doing the odd 3D render, a bit of Photoshop, or video editing, the extra cores will be of benefit.

It really goes without saying that you are going to get excellent gaming performance out of the 12th generation Intel Core i7. The CPU is also going to be more than happy rendering video and editing photos. I’d say 90% of PC users will be more than satisfied with the i7’s performance. Some of those, however, would also likely be just as happy with the very versatile i5.

Personally, as a PC gamer that likes to dabble in photo and video editing, as well as the odd bit of 3D rendering, the Intel Core i7-12700 ticks all the boxes for performance and price even if it does lack overclocking capabilities, but I’d still pay the extra for the K version.

In a more corporate environment whereby stability is key and overclocking presents an unnecessary risk, the Core i7-12700 makes sense. This is especially so if you are buying multiple machines with the same equipment spec.

The locked Intel i7-12700 is a one-size-fits-all CPU suitable for both everyday office tasks as well as more demanding applications such as video editors, and higher-end creative uses such as 3D modelling and even a light bit of 3D rendering.

It stacks up well against the more expensive i9 and outperforms the i5 in most processor-intensive applications. I’d still be inclined to go for the unlocked i7, but whilst previously I’d have recommended the 12th generation i5 over an i9 for most users, I’d now say that, in any variant, the i7 offers the best bang for your buck as an all-rounder.

Each year sees a new generation of Intel processors.

Now, at 11th gen, built for speed and device life durability their i7 with 12MB cache is put to the task in Dell’s newest hybrid 2-in-1 laptop.

At 13 inches the Dell XPS 2-in-1 is both that of a tablet and laptop combined with a UHD+ WLED touch display (3840 x 2400) and fueling those pixels is an onboard Intel Iris graphics chip.

So straight out of the box and after a full charge up (which took less than an hour from zero life) I was keen to see what this kit could handle.

Turns out, quite a bit.

To start off, if you’re going to use the Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 for home office or student work – its most definitely going to see you right – infact, it’s probably a bit of an overkill for such remedial tasks.

This laptop is more suited for the imaginators, designers and content creators out there.

Flipping the screen from general display to tablet gives you – as you guessed it – a 13 inch Windows 10 tablet.

Using creative software you can create to your hearts content right down to extreme detail. I do recommend using a stylus though.

In laptop form the Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 is able to perform tasks that larger beasts are generally considered to be needed for.

Editing and rendering 4K or 8K videos didn’t get the internal fans ramping up as I suspected it would.

It actually outputted a 4K 20 minute video in less than 7 minutes.

Of course, I had to see what gaming juice the Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 was capable of.

Gears 5 and Sea of Thieves played exceedingly well, exceeding my expectations on a graphical level.

However, the fast and furiousness of action in Borderlands 3 saw stutters – while less full on moments played okay, even with visuals settings toned down.

I put this down to the Iris chip, not the guts under the hood.

The Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 comes with 16GB RAM already installed, a 512GB SSD and the Intel 17 11th gen processor purrs along at 2.80GHz without being overclocked.

Another thing to note is the weight – or lack of it. This tiny beast is super light at only 1.32kg.

If you’re still rocking files on external hard drives you may be out of luck or need to get yourself an adaptor. The Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 only has two USB-C sockets, one being shared for the power adaptor.

While you’re not going to eye one of these up to get the edge in online gaming or eSports battles, it for the most part has enough grunt for the more-than-casual gamer.

And for those content creators out there you can’t go wrong. The Dell XPS 13 inch 2-in-1 has got the goods and then some.

Just under a year after the last iteration of its desktop processors were released, Intel has unleashed its 11th Generation CPUs codenamed “Rocket Lake”.

These new processors squeeze even more out of the company’s 14nm fabrication process that has been with us since 2015, but at the cost of two cores for this year’s flagship i9.

Whilst the i5-11600K has the same six cores as the i5-10600K, the i9-11900K goes from the ten cores of the i9-10600K to eight cores for the i9 11900K. This may sound like you are getting a 20% reduction in performance from this top-end CPU, but for gaming, the higher frequencies of these new CPUs trump the gains from an extra two cores (that most games won’t use anyway).

First, let’s take a look at the Core i9-11900K. The 14nm silicon is starting to cause issues with temperatures. Messing with the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility there was a fair amount of thermal throttling during stress testing. It’s not a CPU that I’d bother overclocking unless you have a meaty AIO cooler at the very least.

The CPU has a base frequency of 3.50 GHz with a max turbo frequency of 5.30 GHz. Utilising Intel’s adaptive boost allows two active cores to run at 5.30 GHz, dropping to 5.1 GHz for three-plus active cores. This also relies on a decent cooling solution to keep the silicon cooler than 70 degrees C. The plus side of this and Intel Thermal Velocity Boost is that gamers with a suitably cooled machine can get even more out of their CPUs without actually overclocking.

The Core i5-11600K has a base frequency of 3.90 GHz and a max turbo boost of 4.90 GHz. What this really means is up to two cores running at a max of 4.90 GHz, dropping to 4.60 GHz as soon as there are more than two active cores in play. Unlike the i9, the new i5 has the same number of cores as last time. The i5 runs at lower temperatures than the i9, making modest overclocks within the reach of most users.

The 11th Generation CPUs use the LGA 1200 socket of their predecessors, which means an upgrade doesn’t mean a new cooler. The both the 10th Gen and 11th Gen Intel CPUs work with last year’s motherboards based on the Z400-series chipset as well as the new Z500-series motherboards. A BIOS upgrade may be required to get the 11^th Gen CPUs working. In all fairness, if you are splashing out on an Intel 11th Gen CPU, you really need to be pairing it with a Z500-series motherboard.

Whilst there are gains to be had in upgrading from a 10th Gen CPU to an 11th Gen CPU from a processing speed point-of-view, it is minimal. You’d get better bang for your buck upgrading your graphics card (if you can find one). However, an Intel 11th Generation CPU coupled with a suitable Z500-series motherboard unlocks the PCIe 4.0 bus for some astounding storage speeds.

A Gen 4 NVMe running in a PCIe 4.0 capable M.2 slot will achieve a staggering read speed of 7000 MB/s. That’s compared to the 130 MB/s of a traditional hard drive, 400 MB/s for a SATA SSD, and 3500 MB/s of a standard NVMe SSD. You are taking instantaneous Windows boot-ups and ultra-fast game loading times.

The new Core i5 and Core i9 CPUs are not really a viable upgrade if you are already sporting the 10th Gen CPUs. For a new gaming PC build, though, both the Core i9 11900K and i5 11600K come highly recommended, especially if you are mating them up with a Z590-based motherboard.

With both the i9 and i5 CPUs, the K suffix means that it is both unlocked and has an integrated GPU, the Intel UHD Graphics 750. The slightly cheaper KF version of the CPUs comes without the on-board GPU.

Like last year, the new i5 provides gamers with the best bang for their buck. I’d also recommend looking into the Core i5-11600KF, for gaming, saving yourself some money by purchasing the version of the chip without an on-board GPU. The Core i9-11900K remains the Intel CPU of choice for ultimate bragging rights, but the 14nm silicon draws a lot of power, which in turn means it gets a bit toasty, limiting tweaks for those without a monster cooling solution.

Both CPUs, coupled with a Z500-series motherboard, support the tasty new Gen 4 SSDs. These lightning-fast drives utilise the PCIe 4.0 bus, giving a mighty boost to loading times.

If you are in the Intel camp, both the Core i9-11900K and Core i7-11900K are worth a look for a new build, but unless you are keen on PCIe 4.0 SSDs, probably not worth the upgrade from the 10th Gen CPUs.

Core i5-10600K and Core i9-10900K

Intel are about to unleash their 10th generation Comet Lake desktop microprocessors. These CPUs have been designed very much with PC gaming in mind.

The new range of 14nm CPUs supersedes 2018’s 9th gen Coffee Lake refresh, adding more cores and higher clock speeds. As with their predecessors, Intel’s 10th generation of desktop CPUs range from the budget Celeron to the flagship Core i9.

Intel sent us retail samples of both the top-of-the-range Core i9-10900K and their more modest, but still very capable Core i5-10600K for review. Both CPUs were tested under normal operating conditions, with a few tweaks to see what easy performance enhancement could be obtained.

Gone are the days of huge CPU frequency jumps. Both the Core i5-10600K and the Core i9-10900K are built upon the 14nm Skylake microarchitecture technology from 2015. In recent years, performance gains with each iteration of Intel CPU have dropped off, somewhat. From a consumers point-of view is perhaps a good thing, making upgrading less necessary.

Intel’s processor speeds have been flirting around the 5GHz mark for several years now. It’s only with the Comet Lake CPUs that we are actually going to see 5GHz as almost the norm, without the need for mad overclocking skills. The i5-10600K and especially the i9-10600K rely on the brute force of multiple cores (which are, effectively, what we would once call a CPU back in the single-core Pentium days) to improve performance over their predecessors.

Many of us have been enjoying the use of our Socket 1151 motherboards for several generations of Intel’s desktop CPUs. That’s all over now, as Intel’s 10th generation requires the new LGA 1200 socket with a 400-series chipset. No BIOS firmware upgrade is going to let 10th gen CPU work in your Z390 motherboard.

For the review we were also supplied with a Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Master motherboard. The review CPUs were paired with an Nvidia RTX2080TI GPU and 16 GB of Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4-3600 RAM. CPU cooling was via a Coolermaster Masterliquid ML240L AIO cooler.

The “K” suffix of the CPUs on test means that their clock multipliers are unlocked and thus likely suitable for overclocking. It is only really the top-end Z490 motherboard chipset that officially permits overclocking. Along with the H470, the Z490 also includes Intel Wi-Fi 6. Z490-based motherboards are likely to be compatible with Intel’s as yet unannounced 11th generation Rocket Lake CPUs.

Whilst you will need to cough-up some doe for a new motherboard, the LGA 1200 socket arrangement is compatible with your existing LGA 1151 CPU cooler. And, of course, your DDR4 memory should also work in the new 400-series motherboards. This takes a bit of the sting out of it, if you are thinking of upgrading to a 10th gen CPU.

Installing the CPUs was very easy. Modern PC component design is practically fool-proof these days. The CPU and motherboard mount are virtually indistinguishable from the last-gen of desktop CPUs. The Z490 motherboard did throw a bit a curve ball at me in that it had two 8-pin 12V CPU power sockets, with the power supply unit that we’d originally allocated to the test. Whilst I am aware that CPUs have in the past still functioned with only one 8-pin supply, I did want to see what sort of performance enhancements, without going silly, I could get out of the CPUs. To properly check the CPUs, we invested in a Gigabtye Aorus 850WPSU.

The Core i5-10600K is aimed at the discerning gamer that wants a superior gaming experience without breaking the bank. If you are not going to be using more intensive applications, like video editing, that are going to benefit from the additional cores offered by the i7s and i9s, the i5 makes good economic sense, coming in at half the price of the i9.

The i5 is not, however, some pedestrian compromise. Teamed up with the RTX 2080TI, it delivered smooth, faultless, gameplay.

It’s a six-core, twelve-thread CPU with a base frequency of 4.1 GHz. By default, running one to two cores, the turbo frequency is raised to 4.8 GHz, for three to four cores the turbo is 4.7 GHz and for five to six active cores the turbo frequency is 4.5 GHz. With one and two cores in use, the CPU may run at the stated max of 4.8GHz. This is, however, very much dependent on the CPU’s thermal velocity boost- which only works if the chip is running cooler than 70-degrees.

More modern games are starting to make use of several cores now that multi-core CPUs are the norm. With three to four cores in use, in order to reduce heat, the max possible frequency, on all cores, drops to 4.7GHz. A majority of games will use four cores, these days. If you have five or all six cores running, the max frequency lowers again to 4.5 GHz.

Getting the CPU to maintain a high frequency over as many cores as possible will deliver the best performance boost. Being able to do so without adding voltage is even better in order to keep the temperature down.

The test rig was running with a fairly ordinary AIO CPU water cooler. This is similar to that which most system builders will use on a decent gaming PC, without going crazy with the cooling. I really wasn’t expecting much in the way of overclocking success. Decent overclocking takes time to carefully push limits to maximise CPU output. Most of the time, unless you really enjoy it, you spend a lot of time to score minor gains.

The object of this review is not really to push the CPUs to breaking point. It’s more of a look at what you get out of the box. That being said, the Z490 motherboard is very feature-rich and asking to tweak the CPU performance.

The Gigabtye Z490 Aorus Master motherboard had an interesting setting in the bios, “CPU Upgrade”, which offered two overclocking setting for those with suitable cooling. The game profile added +1 to the clock ratio and the advanced profile +2 to the clock radio. Switching to the advanced profile, I was able to run all six cores at 4.8GHz without any issue, which is interesting. For the purpose of the benchmarks, this setting was left to the default, rather than the overclocked settings.

Before the formal testing I had a bit of a mess about on a few games to get a real-life feel for the rig’s performance. I played Call of Duty Modern Warfare at 4K HDR, with the settings maxed out and real-time ray tracing, and it didn’t skip a beat. Not quite 60fps, but I’d say close. Yes, the RTX 2080 Ti can be thanked for a lot of that, but the CPU is not bottlenecking the GPU performance in any way. I’d be as bold to say that you are likely to net the same sort of result pairing the i5-10600K with an Nvidia RTX 2070 Super.

I also had the opportunity to check out the new RTX-enabled, stunning ray-traced beta version of Minecraft. Again, a rock-solid frame rate for this next-generation edition of the famous building and survival game.

The i5-10600K performed well in the benchmarking tests. It’s hardly surprising that the Core i5 10600K isn’t quite as fast as the older i9 9900K, but it’s not far off though. For someone looking to buy or build a gaming PC more than capable of playing the latest games the i5 10600K is a sensible choice, the difference in cost between the i9 and i5 could be put towards a better GPU. I also felt that there is also plenty of headroom for overclocking this CPU. I’m sure enthusiasts will get into over the next few months and we should see some impressive results.

If you are looking for a CPU that is all-singing and all-dancing for processor intensive applications such as 3D modelling and rendering, as well as video editing and streaming, on top of your high-end gaming experience, you may need to look towards something else. Intel’s flagship i9-10900K CPU, currently the fastest gaming CPU on-of-the-box, may be what you are looking for.

The Intel Core i9-10900K boasts ten cores with a mooted max speed of 5.3GHz over two active cores, 5.1GHz over three cores. 5GHz over four to five cores and 4.9GHz from six to ten cores. The 5.3GHz max speed is only achieved with temperatures less than 70-degrees due to the 1th0th generation Intel CPUs relying on Thermal Velocity Boost as well as Turbo Boost 3.0 technology. Unless you can keep the CPU running cooler that 70-degrees, you are not likely to get past 5.1GHz without maxing your fans.

As I mentioned earlier, in this age of multi-core applications, it’s not the speed of a few cores that counts, it’s what frequency all the cores can run at. Saying that, I did manage to get one core running at 5.3GHz for a Passmark Performance Mark test. In fact, I got it running at 5.4Ghz, enough to get the fastest result for a Performance Test single core run. Don’t try this at home.

We utilised the benefit of having a nigh-identical Core i9 9900K system to compare with the new Core i5-10600K and Core i9-10900. The 9900K machine does have 32GB of memory as opposed to the test system’s 16GB, but it is only DDR4-3200 as opposed to DDR-3600. Both machines have an identical RTX 2080Ti.

The 10-cores of the Core i9-10900K probably make it a bit excessive for a pure gaming rig, especially considering the price. That’s not to say that the Core i9-10900K doesn’t make for a very good gaming experience.

As with the i5, I tested a couple of games on the Core i9-10900 machine running 4K HDR, just to get a real-world feel. I played Return of the Tomb Raider in 4K HDR, with the settings maxed, including the Nvidia RTX shadows. I also played Read Dead Redemption 2, with some reasonably high settings in 4K HDR. Both games ran perfectly even on these rather impractically high settings. The image quality (being verifiably 4K not console-cheating 4K) was outstanding for both games, practically CGI-movie quality rendering.

For the formal tests, both the i5-10600K and the i9-10900K were tested using Passmark’s Performance Test, the 3DMark Timespy benchmark, Maxxon’s CGI render test, Cinebench 20 and Intel’s own Extreme Tuning Utility. On the gaming front, we also used the built-in benchmarks in Red Dead Redemption, Gears Tactics and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Each game was set to 1920×1080 resolution, HDR and V-sync off and the normal/default settings. For comparison, we also ran all the same tests on the Core i9-9900K review rig.

The test results yielded no real surprises. With the i9-9900K operating at similar frequencies to both the Core i9 9900K and the i5 10600K, for the most part the benchmark results reflected the Core i9-10900’s advantage in having additional cores, with a factor on top, over the 9900K- no doubt due to the efficiencies of the Z490 motherboard.

The PassMark Performance Test 10 results were indicative of the CPU core differences. The i9-9900K system was at a disadvantage from a drive speed point-of-view. The review rig is filled with rather ordinary hard drives as opposed to the test machine’s all top-of-the-range NVMe drives. Performance mark punished the older machine, accordingly. The Performance Test PC rating fell more into the expected result, with the scores pro rata, according to the number of cores.

The 3D Mark benchmark is more of a GPU-reliant test than for a CPU. The full Time Spy score allows the Nvidia RTX 2080Ti to strut its stuff leaving the three scores very close. The CPU element of the Time Spy test produced about the same ratio between each CPU, again the core quantity being the underlining factor.

As expected, the real gains for the i9-10900K, are with multi-core, processor intensive applications. Maxxon’s Cinebench 20 scores show the 10900K’s extra cores in action compared to the old i9-9900K and the i5-10600K. The Cinebench single-core test had the 9900K and the 10900K pretty much level-pegging, with the i5, impressively, not far behind.

Intel’s XTU benchmark results, again, mimicked those of the other tests. Showing off the Core i9-10900K’s ten-core, 20-thread advantage.

The gaming benchmarks were close. Performing the tests at 1920×1080, with moderate settings really highlights the importance of processor frequency over the quantity of cores when gaming. Most games will not be pushing the cores in the same way as an application such as 3D rendering software.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 benchmark results, for frames per second, were virtually identical for all three CPUs. This would suggest that the game is more GPU-dependant and doesn’t really give the CPU enough to chew on.

The Gears Tactics benchmark, which includes the CPU result for in-game computation, highlights the higher performance yielded by the Core i9-10900K. This is likely indicative of the new i9’s advantage offered to player of processor-intensive strategy games, in general, reducing wait times between turns. Again, the Gears render scores were very similar.

The Shadow of the Tomb Raider result was a bit interesting. I’m not sure why the i5 performed so low (not that 114fps is actually low), compared to the other CPUs. Similarly, with the CPU Game score, perhaps the game does hand off work to more cores. The CPU render and GPU scores were similar, suggesting that the GPU does a most of the heavy lifting on the visual front, but this still doesn’t explain the low FPS.

The results obtained are, for the most part, unsurprising, especially when compared to the performance of the older Core i9-9900K. Both CPU perform well in

For gaming, the Core i5-10600K, is practically on par with the i9-9900K, but at half the price of the 9900K when it was new. For multi-core applications the i9-10900K really shines.

For both CPUs, actually seeing the touted maximum speeds of 5GHz for the Core i5-10600K and 5.3GHz for the Core i9-10900K using the defaults is a rarity. To be honest, it’s not really an issue, either. Most applications are going use more than two cores, making the top frequencies a bit academic.

The i5 did not seem so constrained by my cooling solution. The CPU seemed to have no trouble running at 4.8GHz across all cores and even 5GHz with the fans turned up a tad (although I’d need more time to say if this was 100% stable).

The i9, on the other hand, felt to me like I’d only reap the rewards with a more robust CPU cooler. It was happy to run on four cores at 5GHz, but with temps getting up to 80-degrees under stress, I’d need to play around a bit more before I was confident.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Core i5-10600K is the sensible gamer’s choice of the two CPUs. The six-core i5 didn’t seem to have the same thermal limits that I seemed to come across with the 10-Core i9-10900K and I think this CPU has some potential for being pushed that little bit further.

The Core i9-10900K offer gamers a premium experience at a premium price. Games will perform better, but perhaps not enough to justify spending twice as much as an i5-10600K. However, if your PC use extends beyond just gaming into the world of video editing or 3D modelling and rendering, the extra cores of the i9 10900K are going to save you time and likely justifying the extra cost.

Both CPUs are worthy successors to the 9th generation of Intel CPUs. Nothing ground-breaking, but they are squeezing more performance out of the trusty 14nm Skylake technology. My feeling is that, with a bit of tinkering under the bonnet of the Z490 motherboard, the i5-10600K and i9-10900K may both still have some surprises in store for those with the patience to look.

The post World’s Best for Gaming, Made Better appeared first on Shane the Gamer.

With the rapid development of 5G and AI technologies, the era of the IoT (Internet of Thing) is accelerating.

According to the Huawei GCI Report 2025, the number of digital devices per capita in the world will increase from two in 2015 to twenty-five in 2025. That type of rapid growth begs the question: how will consumers make natural and smooth interactions between their increasing number of digital devices?

The answer, of course, lies in instant automatic speech recognition.

Compared with the touch-based interaction of the mobile internet era, automatic speech recognition can achieve faster receipt and remittance of content. Moreover, speech is a more natural and efficient means of the type of interaction which will play an increasingly important role in the era of Internet of Everything.

As the most convenient and private touch point of interactive voice response, headphones will become an indispensable part of consumers’ life. Stable connection and seamless switching between multiple devices, as well as high-quality audio has become an inevitable trend in the development of the wireless audio industry.

Due to increasing user demand for high-end audio products in the era of full-scenario AI life, Huawei has released the world’s 1st BT 5.1 & BLE 5.1 wearable chip at IFA2019. The Kirin A1 supports TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headsets and wearables and combines five major audio product forms with LiteOS to solve the industry’s pain points on chips and end-to-end systems while providing consumers with a high-end audio experience across all scenarios.

The Kirin A1 chip is the industry’s first BT / BLE dual-mode chip to be certified by the Bluetooth 5.1 standard. It has a highly integrated 3+1 modular architecture: advanced Bluetooth processing unit, powerful audio processing unit, and ultra-low power consumption App processor and a separate power management unit, ensuring an efficient and stable connection experience.

Early TWS headsets were single-channel transmissions, divided into main and secondary headphones. The mobile phone transmits the signals of the left and right channels to the main earphone at the same time, and then the main earphone forwards one of the channels to the secondary earphone. This type of connection has problems such as transmission inefficiency, long delays, connection instability, and large power consumption of the main headphone. The current TWS headset transmission method has been improved: the main headset no longer needs to forward audio signals to the secondary headphones, and the secondary headphones now directly obtain information from the mobile phone. However, signal transmission between the two headphones is still required and there is still some interference when the left and right ears transmit signal through the human body.

Huawei’s self-developed dual-channel synchronous transmission technology can make the left and right earphones directly receive signals from the mobile phone end, avoiding the interference between the two headphones.

Thanks to this technology, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 TWS headset can significantly reduce audio latency during gaming to 190ms (data from Huawei Labs), keeping the game sound and picture synchronized.

Based on Huawei’s new generation Bluetooth channel selection algorithm, taken from the intelligent frequency hopping technology in the communication field, HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 TWS can dynamically identify the frequency band affected by Wi-Fi and hop to an undisturbed channel, quickly adapting to environmental changes, in order to achieve higher anti-interference ability and bring a smooth audio experience even in complex environments such as airports and shopping malls.

At the same time, the Kirin A1 has a powerful audio processing DSP that supports real-time recognition of noise and ambient sound, creating a high-quality phone call and music experience. Through the accurate 3A noise reduction algorithm, it can effectively weaken the ambient noise and let people hear more clearly. The enhanced speech recognition algorithm allows users to activate the device with their own voice, easily access the AI assistant and achieve fingerless operation. 

An operating system plays a critical role in making IoT-based devices smart. Huawei LiteOS, developed by Huawei in 2012, is an IoT-oriented software platform integrating an IoT operating system and middleware. Since its release in 2015, Huawei LiteOS has been widely used in various domains such as Huawei smartphones, personal wearable devices, Smart Home scenarios, urban public services, etc.

LiteOS is a platform that connects IoT hardware and service applications. It is adaptable to mainstream chips and modules, helping to maximize performance. It can abstract functions of hardware and generate standard interfaces with a wealth of capabilities (such as device-cloud interconnection, low power consumption, sensors, and AI). In addition, it supports a wide range of business scenarios and provides various technical frameworks and SDKs. The HUAWEI Freebuds 3 is equipped with LiteOS, which enables faster connection between multiple Huawei devices.

The Huawei audio strategic map focused on five major audio product categories: True Wireless Stereo earbuds, neckband headsets, smart glasses, Bluetooth speakers, and upcoming headband headsets. Huawei’s first neck-worn Bluetooth headset, HUAWEI FreeLace, is equipped with Huawei’s flash charging technology HiPair, and creates a perfect blend of fashion design and technological innovation.

Huawei and Gentle Monster jointly designed the HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER smart glasses to create a smart combination with audio and glasses. The Huawei Bluetooth speaker is not only portable, but also allows for two speakers to be easily paired to form left and right stereo, bringing 360-degree immersive stereo experience, which is the best music companion for family, outdoor and parties.

Connecting the future is Huawei’s vision of sustainable development. After 32 years of efforts and persistence, Huawei has become the world’s leading ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructure and smart terminals provider, bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

The full-scenario AI life strategy of Huawei’s consumer business has also taken on the vision of “connection”. Huawei’s carrier business is responsible for the connection of the main pipeline through the optical fiber, 5G and millimeter wave, and the consumer business offers connection to every corner of the user’s life through a variety of terminal products.

Guided by the full-scenario AI life strategy, Huawei’s consumer business has integrated chip, OS and terminal products end-to-end through continuous technological innovation, creating a twenty- four hour high-quality audio experience for consumers. Huawei’s five major audio product categories, taking wireless Bluetooth headsets as the hero product, inherit Huawei’s leading edge in connectivity and bring a seamless full-scenario AI life experience to consumers.
