Hi everyone,
Since I find ambiguous information online about whether or not one or the other of these two CPUs might be the better choice, I thought I'd post here and see if any CPU experts can give some guidance. Initially I wanted to go with the 10900F, however decided that I want to have the option to run iMac 20,2 with iGPU in headless mode.
I am going to use the CPU on a Gigabyte Z490 Vision D in an audio workstation (running Big Sur). Rather than overclocking, I am interested in the best performance at reasonable temperatures. I will be using a Dark Rock Pro 4 as cooler. User @WhenMusicAttacks is making a strong point in favor of non-K CPUs here, however I am wondering if this is also relevant if ones actively restricts the power limits on the 10850K.
Any advise appreciated!
