The Intel® Core i9 is one of the most powerful Intel processors on the mainstream market. It’s faster and smarter than existing CPUs because of its expanded multi-threading capacity and better power efficiency. It’s an optimal processor for your motherboard if you’re trying to assemble a great gaming rig, or if you dabble in programs that require a wealth of computing power. For example, it’s great if you do a lot of photo editing, digital video editing, music production, or digital animation, just to name a few. The i9 has two models.

RAM is a form of temporary computer storage that allows stored data to be received and read almost instantaneously.
