AMD has clearly decided this battle in its favour. Giant Intel has to play hard to catch up again. At the moment, the classes for the blue team have moved back one point and we have to compare 5s with 7s. The fact that AMD still has a Ryzen 9 5950X up its sleeve should only be mentioned here in passing out of courtesy.

Overall ratingVery good93/100
That is unusual. It seems Intel has slept through the times a little. When it comes to CPUs, Tema Blue is clearly behind Team Red. This comparative test shows that without ifs and buts. The good thing: CPU prices are developing nicely - as long as AMD doesn't get greedy. The fastest desktop CPU in the consumer sector comes from AMD...
Very good94/100
- High-performance ten-core processor
- Integrated graphics solution
- Supports Thunderbolt 3 natively
- Fan not included in scope of delivery
- Weaker and more expensive than AMD competition
The Intel Core i9-10900K concludes our test as a very good desktop processor. It is the first ten-core CPU of the Comet Lake S generation that Intel places in the mainstream segment. Accordingly, it is considered a competitor to AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X. The CPU is extremely powerful in our benchmarks. Overall, however, it can't quite keep up with the performance of the cheaper Ryzen 7 5800X.
