Today Intel launched its new 10th Gen Intel Core S Series Processors, touting the flagship i9-10900K processor described as “the fastest gaming chip on the planet” by presenter Brandt Guttridge Intel’s Director of Desktop Product Marketing. The processor is heating up the competition with rival chip maker AMD who has challenged Intel with its own next-gen processors at competitive price points. The Intel chip features a top speed of 5.3 GHz with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost out of the box for faster game frame rates and 10 cores and 20 threads for more multiple processing. The new series will include i7, i5, i3 and Celeron variants.
