CPU INTEL 11900K 10600K

I'm looking to upgrade my gaming PC and I'm trying to decide between the Intel Core i9-11900K and the i5-10600K for multi-threading capabilities. Can anyone recommend which one would be better for this purpose?

@fenix7950, I think @Rethen113 is right. According to the TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-11900K vs. Intel Core i5-10600K, the Core i9-11900K has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the i5-10600K only has 6 cores and 12 threads. This means that the i9-11900K should perform better in multi-threaded tasks.

Both of those CPUs are great choices for gaming, but if you're focusing on multi-threading performance, then the i9-11900K is the better option due to its higher core count and thread count.

Thanks for the input! So it looks like the Core i9-11900K is the better choice for my needs, especially when it comes to multi-threading. Does anyone have any experience with these CPUs or can recommend a good cooler?

I've used both of those processors in different builds, and I can say that the i9-11900K definitely offers superior performance in multi-threaded applications. However, keep in mind that it's also more expensive than the i5-10600K.

That's good to know! The price difference might be worth it for better performance though. As for a cooler, I've heard that the Noctua NH-D9L is a great option for both of these CPUs. What do you guys think?

Yeah, the Noctua NH-D9L is an excellent choice for cooling either of these processors. It's quiet, efficient, and should keep either CPU cool even under heavy loads.

@fenix7950, if you're looking to maximize multi-threading performance, I would definitely recommend going with the i9-11900K. Just make sure you pair it with a good GPU and enough RAM for optimal performance. Good luck with your build!

Thanks for all the advice! I'll probably go with the Core i9-11900K then. I appreciate your help!

No problem, @fenix7950! Enjoy your new gaming PC, and if you have any questions or need more advice in the future, don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck with your build, @fenix7950! And remember, always keep an eye on TechReviewer for the latest CPU reviews and comparisons.
