The Intel Core i9-11900KF is currently the fastest-rated LGA1200 CPU on the market today.  If you have an LGA1200 compatible motherboard, it is the best CPU for you!

Currently listed for $499 on Newegg, it has excellent reviews by other users.  With 5 out of 5 eggs by all reviewers.

The specifications on the CPU are impressive.  The most important of the specs are:

• Total Cores 8
• Total Threads 16
• Max Turbo Frequency 5.30 GHz
• Processor Base Frequency 3.50 GHz
• Cache 16 MB Intel® Smart Cache

Passmark ratings of this CPU are great. It is rated the highest among LGA 1200 CPUs.  With a combined rating of 25675 and a single thread rating of 3596, this CPU will not disappoint any avid gamer.  It does show it is rated for DDR4 3200, so use caution if you are attempting to use it with other rated memory.

While there are other, faster, Intel CPUs for LGA2066 and LGA1700 motherboards, if you currently have an LGA1200 rig, this is your best choice for a quality upgrade.  The single threat rating is superior to many of the options listed above it in PassMark, and it is the more important number for many gamers.  Game on!

While there are many great CPUs for gaming there are a few that always stand out. One of which is the Intel Core i9-10900K. A CPU that is great for gaming and is also very reliable.  This CPU has very good specs for a very good price. (Link to website below)

CPU Specifications:

CPU Clockspeed:3.7 GHz –> 5.30 GHz (Max Turbo)

CPU Cache: 20 MB (L3)

CPU Socket Type: LGA 1200

CPU Processors: 10 Core, 20 Threads

CPU Wattage Cost: 125W

This amazing processor also is rated very well by Passmark. It is placed second amongst PassMarks top 10 Common Desktop CPUs.  Having a good score from  PassMark will help those in the market for a new  CPU  find what would be a top-notch CPU for their setup. Whether it be that they are looking for the best CPU out there. Or simply one that is great for the money, PassMark is a great place to start.

Along with the rating and specs of the CPU, there is the cost. This is arguably the second most important thing after the performance.

As stated earlier it is a great CPU at a Great price. For nearly 1,000 dollars less you are getting a similar experience to the Ryzen Threadripper 3960x. In conclusion, this is a CPU i’m sure would suit the needs of whoever needs it for gaming and those who use it as a casual business CPU. So, I recommend this CPU.

Behold, this CPU is one of the best selling, yet cost-effective CPUs on the market currently. Boasting 24 cores and 48 threads, and over 140MB of CPU cache spread across L1, L2, and L3 cache, you definitely get the power for what you put in

Although it does take a hefty amount of power from your PSU (280W to be exact) to run this powerhouse, It can run some of the top GPUS with ease. also goes well with a water-cooling system, which is recommended if you plan on playing for extended durations of time.

“All good, running great in all scenarios so far! I do not have a single complaint, Runs AutoCAD like a beast!! And all other things I throw at it with buttery smoothness, it’s beautiful! Not overclocked running great with H115i. 64GB DDR4 3600 cl16. Zenith II Extreme Mobo.”
-Allen C.

By my Boss, I was asked to review the AMD Ryzen 3800x.  I honestly had to do a decent amount of research because I am not down pat on what a CPU does.  He is wanting me to determine whether or not this CPU would be a good gamer CPU.  I know the simple stuff like what the CPU is which is the Central Processing Unit, and the clock speed which for this CPU it has a Base Clock speed of 3,900,000,000 GHz which means it processing at 3.9 billion cycles a second.

This CPU is an 8 core processor, or Octo core processor.  The processor core receives instructions from a single computing task, and works with the clock speed to quickly process the information and temporarily store in the Random Access Memory which the acronym to this term would be RAM.  Im glad I finally cleared this up.

So this CPU has 512 KB of L1 Cache, 4 MB of L2 Cache, and 32 MB of L3 Cache.  Cache is a small part of the memory which is apart of the CPU, actually it is closer to the CPU than RAM.  It is used to temporarily hold instructions and data that the CPU is likely to reuse.  So as you can tell this CPU has plenty of storage on the CPU for you being able to download files or play games on. This is all new to me honestly.

So this CPU has 16 threads.  By the research I have done a thread is directly related to a CPU core and is basically just a virtual version of it.  Although many AMD CPU’s use SMT (Surface Mount Technology) related to their threads, many Intel CPU’s use hyperthreading.

Ultimately, this CPU would be a good match for ideally a Business CPU or a Home CPU.  I mean if you want to, you could run this as a low end Gaming CPU but if you dont have to you definitely do not want to.

All in All, I would definitely recommend this CPU for your Business or Home purposes.  It makes a quality CPU for surfing the web or playing small games like coolmath games for example.  If you had to, you could run this as a low end Gaming CPU, but I would not recommend it.

On Newegg.com 83% of users on this site give it 5 eggs which is the highest amount of eggs you can give.

I was asked to review the Intel Celeron G1820. I had to do a good amount of research for this review, because I don’t know anything about CPU’s. The only thing I knew about CPU’s before this blog was the clock speed of them. For instance this CPU’s clock speed is 2.7 GHz. This means that CPU is processing at 2.7 billion cycles per sec.

This CPU is a dual core processor. A core, or CPU core, receives instructions, and perform operations, to fulfill those instructions. This CPU is not hyper threaded which would mean that it would have two threads for every core, but since it is not hyper threaded it only has two threads. One thread per core. As I said before the cores let you perform different operations on them like running an anti-virus in the back ground the threads allow you to split up those cores to be able to run more programs at once.

This CPU has 2MB of L3 cache. From the research I have conducted 2MB is not very good if you are trying to use this for anything more that surfing the internet or watching YouTube videos. Cache is memory on the CPU. Cache located on the CPU it is way faster than RAM since the CPU just talks to itself instead of transferring info between the CPU and the RAM.

As for reviews of this CPU I would say it is about 85% positive 15% negative. I personally would recommend this CPU to you if you are just trying to buy a cheap CPU and only use it for browsing the internet. You definitely wont be using this CPU for any sort of gaming. Unless you trying to play some Cool Math games.

So a few days ago, my son said that I could never build a PC (Personal Computer). Well, I told him that I could. I went to the library and got a copy of “PCs For Dummies”, and I learned a lot. So I got my motherboard and case from Newegg.com. All I need to do now is get my CPU. Well, I found one and it is called the Intel i7 8700. This CPU is great and has everything I need.

https://static.lwn.net/images/cpumemory/cpumemory.1.png

So this CPU is apparently a gaming CPU and better than the average home motherboard CPU. It has all the cache on a computer that the person needs. Cache is the memory of the CPU. It has only L3 cache and 12MB (MegaBytes) on it. L3 cache is shared memory with the CPU and the motherboard. What this means is that its memory speed is 12 million cycles per second. This is a great speed for a good quality computer.

Also, This CPU has a socket type of an LGA (Land Grid Array) slot. The socket is for and LGA 1151 (300 series). This is a newer type of socket. That book that I got from the library said that. Aren’t you impressed?

Cores are on this CPU as well. The cores in a CPU are like the “brains” of the CPU. This CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads as well as “Hyperthreading.” This CPU is very amazing.

I looked at the speed of this CPU and its speed is 3.2 GHz (GigaHertz). What that means is that it’s going at 3.2 billion cycles per second. I tell you what, that is fast buddy.

Well, buddy, I hope you understand why I did this. My son doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he says I can’t build computers. What an idiot, but hey, he’s my son so I gotta love him.
