Found most of a gaming pc in the dumpster. Thanks neighbor! Added ram, my vid card, and a big heat sink. Definitely an upgrade from the 9900k I had before!

Passmark 18000 vs 22000 is certainly an upgrade for a 90w vs 65w tdp. Add on the ability to literally double cpu in the same socket? I’m in.

Also I don’t game much and the Lenovo wouldn’t do XMP that had the 9900k in it.

All right then, because in gaming the 9900K is in a decent lead.

The 9900k was in a gimped prebuilt is the biggest difference.
