Verdict

Our verdict on the Core i7-9700E

An eight-core, eight-thread Coffee Lake desktop CPU that runs cool and quiet, but lacks hyper-threading in a generation that mostly had it.

Get it if you need a solid 8-core workhorse for a basic office PC or media server that runs cool and quiet. Skip it if you want high-end gaming or heavy multitasking, as newer chips offer much more for the money.
