  • Key Specs
    • Processor Socket: Socket LGA 1200 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
    • PCI Express Version: PCI Express 3.0
    • CPU Base Clock Frequency: 2.8 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The average rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks under normal operating conditions as asserted by the manufacturer.)
    • CPU Boost Clock Frequency: 5.2 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The maximum rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks, typically only used for a short period of time as needed. This rate may temporarily boost the processor's performance, but may result in overheating, shutdown, or damage to equipment if sustained.)

Q: I have a Dell XPS 8940 Core i7 10700 2.9 GHz. Is it possible to upgrade with this processor without swapping the motherboard?

A: Hi, Greg. The Intel® Core™ i9-10900 Processor is compatible with a form factor FCLGA1200 as well. We recommend checking compatibility with the manufacturer of your device. Here is a list of compatible motherboards for this processor. [ https://compatibleproducts.intel.com/ProductDetails?activeModule=Desktop%20Processors&pcsr_num=i9-10900 ]. Thank you for choosing Intel®

Q: When will this be in stock again?

A: I just saw it available earlier today and tried to order it, and when I went to checkout, it was gone already. I signed up for notifications and kept refreshing the page constantly for a little over an hour and checking my email. I just got an email saying it was available and was able to order it. Keep trying and make sure to sign up to receive notifications. I also signed up for notifications for the 10900k version, but this will be fine since I haven't overclocked anything in years.

Q: Does this CPU comes with a stock CPU cooler?

A: Hi, there. Intel® Core™ i9-10900 Processor comes with a fan cooler and thermal paste. Thank you for choosing Intel®
