The Core i9-9900 is Intel's locked 8-core, 16-thread desktop chip for socket LGA1151 boards on 300-series chipsets. It runs at 3.1 GHz base and boosts to 5.0 GHz, with a 65 W TDP, integrated UHD Graphics 630 and 16 PCIe lanes. It suits people who want near-flagship multi-core speed without overclocking or a big cooler. Against the unlocked i9-9900K it gives up overclocking and some clock headroom; against newer 8-core chips it lacks PCIe 4.0 and faster memory support. It has no bundled cooler, so you supply your own.
