The AMD A10-5700 is a quad-core Trinity APU (combined CPU and GPU) based on launched in Q4 of 2012. The A10-5700 is reasonably power efficient with a TDP of 65 Watts. In terms of performance the A10-5700 scores an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.4 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.0 GHz when needed and is sufficient for most generic desktop applications. The integrated HD 8670 Graphics are comparable to Intel's recent HD offerings. The A10-5700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4330 shows that the comparably priced 4330 is a far more compelling alternative given its almost outright advantage on every metric. [Dec '14 CPUPro]

The Intel i9-9900K is an 8 core, 16 thread, unlocked 9th generation Coffee Lake processor. It has a base / boost clocks of 3.6 / 4.7 GHz and a single-core boost of 5.0 GHz (the highest frequency achieved yet from this class of Intel CPU). It features 16 MB of cache, a 95W TDP and Intel UHD 630 graphics. The 9900K is compatible with the new Z390 chipset, and subject to a BIOS update, is also compatible with the older Z370 chipset. Aimed at users who do not wish to compromise, the i9-9900K offers the best gaming and desktop experience available at any price. Heavy workstation users should consider the Ryzen 9 3900X which is similarly priced. Comparing the overclocked 3900X shows that it is just 10% worse for gaming and desktop (sub octa-core) but around 40% better for 64-core computations. Gamers should consider the 9700K which offers identical overclocked gaming performance at a $100 USD discount. [Oct '18 CPUPro]
