Q: Is this processor better for gaming or i5 10600K ?
A: The i7 10700k isn't much of an upgrade from the i5 10600k even in OC. If you have a game that hits multi core harder then it may be marginally better. If it were my decision I'd save the $100 and get the i5 and put the extra saved money toward a GPU upgrade. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-10700K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-10600K/4070vs4072
Q: Could I put this in a new Mac Mini? 2020?
A: Definitely not. First of all, the mac mini has a coffee lake processor, which uses the LGA 1151 socket, whereas this CPU uses the LGA 1200 socket. That's not to mention the heat dissipation that the 10700k needs that the mac mini definitely doesn't provide as the mac mini uses a laptop CPU while this CPU is a 125 W TDP monster in comparison.
A: Short answer, no an intel 10th gen cpu is not compatible with your pc. The socket on the motherboard is not the same. You would need to upgrade the motherboard also. Unfortunately Dell is typically not a machine that can be upgraded easily.
Q: the motherboard that came with my computer is a B360M xtreme from asrock will this cpu work ?
A: No your motherboard doesn't support socket 1200 processors only 1151 you need to upgrade to a compatible board or stay with 1151 processors
A: Hi, the Intel Core i7-10700K processor is a desktop processor and will not work in the HP Spectre laptop. Most laptops have the processor soldered to the motherboard so you will not be able to upgrade the processor on your laptop. Thank you for choosing Intel.
A: The Z390 Motherboard that you currently own, supports the LGA 1151 Socket. The Intel Core 17-10700K Processor will have to be installed on a new Motherboard for Socket 1200. Take a look at the New MSI Z490 Motherboards at Best Buy. They offer LED Lighting and USB Type-C Support. For the Case, as long as yours will support the new LGA 1200 Motherboard, you shouldn't have to swap it out. Also, I recommend you switching to DDR4 RAM, if you haven't already, which offers higher transfer rates. Corsair offers a wide range of quiet Power Supplys, and I would recommend, at least, an 850W Supply, since you are mounting an Intel Core i7 Processor in your rig. You will need the additional power to launch that beefy GPU that you will undoubtedly install as well. Last piece, think about picking up a Water Cooling Solution to keep everything super cool when running High End Games and Creator Softwares. The more power you draw, the quicker you can get things done on your PC, but you have to keep it all at a good temp..below the 70° Celsius mark at full load. All parts can be purchased at your local Best Buy Store. Good luck on your build.
A: Short answer is no. Long answer with enough time and money to throw at it sure. Just replace the motherboard, Power supply, ram, Ssd and hard drives. Don’t forget you’ll need a graphics card that has become unobtainium. Throw all that in your dell case and your pc will be completely modernized. In all seriousness though no nothing will help the old dell it’s time to get a full upgrade.
Q: Is this suitable for an iMac 22” ?
A: If you're asking if this would make a good upgrade to an existing system, I would say no. All in one systems are not usually upgradeable. Apple products even less so. That is one reason they are usually so trouble free. If you are looking to buy a new system, wait until you can afford the more expensive system then buy it.
