Although the i9-9900K wasn’t the first CPU to bear the i9 brand, it was the first that desktop users had access to. Sitting at the top of the 9th generation Coffee Lake Refresh series, it signified Intel finally being willing to fight AMD on the core count battlefield. With 14nm architecture, it proved more than a match for the Zen+ Ryzen 7 2700X in 2018 - but does that translate into a good performer five years later?
