Question Did I made a a wrong decision buying i9 9900k?

[ganeshnampalli98800]

So yesterday I ordered i99000k and just a day after I heard Intel comet lake CPUs are coming .. So should I just return my CPU & wait for comet lake I'm confused as hell don't know what I did please help

Yep, glad I didn't wait. 10th gen desktop CPU's won't be out until April!

Yup buddy for some reason even i had to build pc soon enough so got i9 900k on Dec 3 something

In the case of 9900k vs 10700k, the 10-series CPUs have the benefit of having its TDP spread out across two extra cores worth of die area and having its two worst cores disabled. I'd imagine that having a significant positive impact on overall power-efficiency and slightly relaxed cooling requirements from reduced power density.

Even though the heat density could be lower, what about the leakage through the disabled cores?

Power to disabled cores is gated off, there is no meaningful leakage at ~0V.
