Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Core i7-9700K's gaming prowess, price-to-performance ratio, and easy installation. They appreciate its multitasking capabilities, powerful performance, and cooler temperatures compared to other processors. While some find it expensive, others point out that it lacks hyper-threading and is a generation or two behind.
