Mistake? 10900K over 5950/5900/5800?

But none of the new AMD 5000 CPUs have a integrated graphics chip do they?
Dont think so - you could always get a cheapo socket 1200 cpu with iGPU if your graphics card blew up.
interesting thread has made me think about picking up some cheaper intel parts again whilst I wait for AMD to some stock together. 10900kf and the 10850k do look good value at the moment.
I went from a 4670k to a 10900k in september when the 3000 series launched, I had the same worry as i knew an AMD cpu was in the horizon but no one knew the performance obviously so i bit the bullet.
I have the same user case as you basically, gaming and just general browsing etc and let me tell you, its a night and day difference. It is surprising with just simple things like opening file explorer and the snappyness of it let alone in gaming!
After watching reviews when the 5000 series, if you are gaming anything higher than 1080p then the difference between AMD and Intel is negligible either way and as you said from the reviews i seen the 10900k generally slightly ahead than the 5900x but again they trade blows dependant on title so it really doesnt matter.
From someone that was in your position only a couple of months ago, you are going to be incredibley pleased and you are going to enjoy it very much! I paired it with a 3090 when i was on a 1060 before so everything has been fantastic for me!

Cheers Sedgey, good to know! Thanks for your experiences, sounds like you were definitely in the same boat as me!
May I ask why you went with the 10900K as opposed to the 10900KF? Maybe the K was cheaper back then? May I ask how much you got it for?

The 5800X appears to be more than I paid for 10850K so is it better? I game at 4K and can do 5.2ghz all core at 1.360v... flys in all games with 3080.
at 4k it doesn't matter. Playing at any sort of resolution is a great leveller. If you are happy with it then does it matter if it is better or not?
Enjoy!I have no explaination really as to why i went K and not KF
, i just know the price was £539 when i got it.Can I ask what motherboard you have with your 10900k, I think I will be going the intel way

No worries, tbh I was oblivious to the KF version as well.
