Intel helps power the world’s fastest gaming desktop PCs

Unlocked 10th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors are optimized for enthusiast gamers, overclockers and serious content creators looking to take advantage of amazing overclocking and unleash the performance capabilities of these new processors. With an optimal balance of frequency, cores and threads, advanced tuning support, and blazing connectivity, unlocked 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors supercharge desktops for a competitive edge.

10th Gen Intel® Core™ “KF” SKU desktop processors are built for gamers and creators with the same 10th gen innovations, specifications, and performance, but without processor graphics features. As a result, they can deliver added value when CPU performance is the top priority. With an optimal balance of frequency, cores and threads, optional advanced tuning support, and blazing connectivity, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors supercharge desktops for competitive and premium performance. Processors with a “KF” in their processor number also offer overclocking capabilities.

This processor requires discrete graphics and must be paired with a motherboard that supports a discrete graphics card.
