[SOLVED] What's the difference between all 10th generation i9 models?

[TwelveBlues]

Hi, I'm looking to update my CPU to an i9 10th generation one, I'm aiming for one of the 10900 family. Now, there are a handful of models on which I don't understand the actual difference between these, I know and can see the actual specs, but other than that I don't know what is each one best for (10900, 10900E, 10900F, 10900K, 10900KF and 10900T). Just as a side note, I'm not looking to overclock it as I know would screw it up somewhere. Thanks a lot for any tip/information.

10900 - GPU, fixed clocks.
E- can be used in embeded systems
F - no built in GPU
K - Overclockable
KF - No GPU, Overclockable
T - reduced power

Since you want to overclock, you'll be wanting a K or KF variant.

Hi, thanks for the reply, quick question, for the KF what does 'no GPU' mean exactly? that I wont be able to see anything unless I add a GPU? And also, saw listed on the specs a 'turbo speed' is that the overclocking speed ?

Boost is determined by CPU load and cooling performance.
The 10 series doesn't boost a single core. It boosts 2 cores to the whatever is max for your cpu and the 2nd pair of core goes to 100mhz less. and so on.
