    Basically 10900k at a more reasonable price. Performance difference is around 2% from a 10900k.

    They price matched it to $320 when I bought it and that was a steal considering the 11900k is $600 which has lower cores.

    I purchased this 10850K when the 10900K I originally purchased was bad and had to be RMA'ed. No 10900K's in stock, so I am trying this one. So far I have not had any issues, but have not run through any testing or hard pushes yet. Easy install like all chips, runs as cool as a 10900K I have in another machine, so all in all I am happy at the moment. Would recommend especially for price point if you just need a chip for a standard running machine.
