It is worth noting that this is the i9-10900F, not the i9-10900k (thank you, Intel, for the lovely naming scheme). I'd expect the -k variant to be at least as fast as the i9-9900k.

Also, 9900 was much easier to say... how do you pronounce 10900? "Ten-thousand-nine-hundred"? Feels tortured. "Ten-nine-hundred"? Yeesh.

Ten-Nine Hundred is what I've seen on YouTube recently and I like it.

It works semantically too. You say the generation first, then the specific model within that generation.

Ten Nine Hundred scans much better. I'd expect it to be what people settle on. Sort of like the Lockheed L Ten Eleven.

Does Intel ever even use those last two zeroes, or could we start leaving them off and calling this part the "one oh nine"?

They definitely use them, but less often on the i9 series since there isn't a lot of options in that range.

Compare 10th gen i9 to i7:

On a related note, how do people pronounce the Intel 8088?

Eight oh eight eight? Eighty eighty eight?

good point, I was confusing the F-suffix with the KF-suffix parts, which usually perform identically to K-suffix parts.

Not sure how that will matter, F just means there are no integrated graphics. Why would that impact performance compared to a i9-9900 ?

I believe the K variant also has a higher base clock (3.7 vs. 3.2)
