The Intel Core i9-10900K consumes 235W at stock frequencies, reaches 93 ° with 240mm liquid cooling

The new Intel processors are already in the hands of some reviewers, and with that the first leaks begin to appear. In this case, the leak talks about the flagship model, the Core i9-10900K, and shows us its consumption and temperatures.

By stressing the processor with AIDA64 FPU stress, the same it consumes up to 235W and its temperatures reach a peak of 93 ° with a 240mm liquid cooling system whose model was not specified. Even at these high temperatures, the processor is maintained with its 10 cores at 4.8GHz, which is a very good frequency.

The i9-10900K will undoubtedly be a powerful processor for tasks that use few cores thanks to its ability to maintain high frequencies, although those high frequencies come in exchange for a large consumption due to the outdated 14nm process that Intel has been using for years. We will have to wait to see the complete reviews and see its difference with Ryzen to see if there is any case in which it is justified to go for this processor and not for an AMD with lower consumption and generally better price-performance.

What do you think about this initial information about the i9-10900K? Does it affect your purchase decision?
