    10850k or 10900k?

    There is no difference between this and the 10900k. It is 99% identical. If you're unable to get the 10900k, then get this. These are essentially 10900k rejects through QA/QC.

    Kind of underwhelming for overclocking when compared to the 10700K, 10900K and 10900KF processors I own. This one isn't great at overclocking compared to the others, but it is perfectly fine for work and gaming. If that is why you are buying it, then I would recommend it for that purpose.

    Some had said it, but it is not true. This 10900K knockoff (albeit .1ghz slower) fails to deliver even 85% of its big brother. It seems to run hotter and the boost is not consistent. It is a good chip, but at this point, would have chose the non-k variant 10900 over this.

    Great value for money instead of getting the i9 10900k the i9 10850k works perfectly with a clock speed of just 100 mega hertz less than the 10900k

    it wasn't in proper packing but still have no complaint so far and it's working fine till, my CPU speed isn't that impressive after upgrading from I7 to I9, might be motherboard issues or else but Process should come with more easy setup or at least, detail to set up overlocking with BIOS manufacturing companies.
