Intel Core i9-8950HK is one of the latest processors from Intel with one of the best performances so far from an Intel processor. With the power of a 6 core hardware, the processor is one of the best in its class.

Comes with a 2.90 GHz CPU frequency that can be boosted upto 4.80 GHz, the processor is suitable for high-end gaming and video editing.

    A good processor

    I bought a new PC and installed the i9-8950HK processor. The processor is good. Performs pretty good. When compared to the previous AMD processors I used, like the Ryzen, this one has a great advantage, especially in the graphics. The games running very smoothly on this processor which I faced some troubles playing on the AMD processor. So, yeah, a good processor for gaming and high performance stuff.

    Contains graphics

    i9-8950HK is coming with the Intel® UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics that provide me enough performance for running entry-level games on my PC. The fun fact is that, even with the integrated graphics, I am able to run games smoothly better than some GT graphics cards from NVIDIA. Apart from just gaming, the processor also is a great addition for video editing and related stuff which needs a lot of system resources. I am currently using it with 64 GB's of RAM. I haven't installed any extra graphics cards yet (cause I am able to run almost anything that I tried until now.) So, if it works like this, I do not think that I will be going for a dedicated graphics card.
