Intel’s Core i5-8600K has been one of the top gaming CPUs ever since it came out at the end of 2017. Now, however, there’s a new [cms-block] in town in the form of its 9th Gen Coffee Lake successor, the Core i5-9600K.
Priced at a very competitive £220 / $230 at time of writing, Intel’s Core i5-9600K is a tough act to beat – especially when AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 5 3600X CPU is slated to start at an even more expensive $250 when it launches on July 7th. The Ryzen, admittedly, does have the added benefit of coming with a bundled cooler in the box (which the i5-9600K sadly does not), but even once you factor in the additional cost of a cooler, the Ryzen 5 3600X is going to have a pretty tough job on its hands if it’s going to beat the i5-9600K’s exceptional gaming chops. I will, of course, be updating this review once I’ve got my hands on the Ryzen 5 3600X, but in the mean time, here’s how the i5-9600K stacks up to the rest of the gaming CPU spectrum right now.
