Core i9 PCs

The Core i9 processor is Intel’s fastest and most powerful processor chip available to date. Core i9 PCs contain more cores, more processing threads, bigger caches and can operate at higher speeds than other Intel processors. If you’re looking for a PC capable of delivering blistering performance that can handle extreme multitasking and cope with the most demanding applications, a Core i9 PC could be a good fit. Applications that fall into this category include 4K video editing, digital animation, high-end gaming and complex engineering designs.

When shopping for a Core i9 PC there are several features to look out for before selecting a specific model. If you’re primarily going to be using the PC for content creation, an important consideration is what type of graphics card the PC comes with. Some Core i9 desktops feature integrated graphics where the graphics chip is integrated into the processor chip. This removes the need for a separate graphics card (GPU) but if you want the most powerful graphics performance, look for a Core i9 PC with a dedicated graphics card installed.

Intel have released several generations of the Core i9 processor with the latest being the 12th generation. Since each generation offers upgraded performance and productivity over the previous generation, it’s worth examining the CPU specs for any potential Core i9 PC you are considering to ensure you’re looking at the latest, current model.

Core i9 PCs may vary based on processor core count, frequency (or speed) and cache sizes. The higher these are, the more powerful the computer’s maximum performance will generally be and likewise the higher the cost. If you need a Core i9 PC with a processor that can be overclocked to make it process data faster than it was officially designed for, look for a model with a K in the processor name (e.g.Intel Core i9-10900K).

Finally, before you go ahead and part with a substantial sum of money to buy the latest Core i9 PC, evaluate whether or not you actually need the latest and most powerful PC based on the work you intend to do or if a Core i9 desktop is overkill. As stated above, you only really need a Core i9 PC for the most demanding, professional content creation programs or for uncompromised gaming.
