    according to the cpu support list -

    Code:
    Core i9-9900KF (3.6GHz, 95W, L3:16M, 8C rev.R0)
    Is the only CPU that requires BIOS v2203

    the 9900KF a regular 9900K, but without the igp [that's what the 'F' stands for]

    just quick question on the i9 9900kf what does it mean when it says
    No iGPU & what is Igpu

    I can see it has more cores & threads then mine & a higher turbo speed

    intergrated graphics processing unit is that something I should care about ?

    No (i)ntegrated (G)raphics (P)rocessing (U)nit

    ...as in the on-chip graphics is disabled. It's a non-issue if you're using a dedicated GPU. In theory, the -F models should be cheaper than their regular counterparts, but that's not always the case.

    EDIT:

    If you're using a dedicated GPU, then no... you'll not notice, it'd only be an issue if you had issues with your main card, you'd have to find a spare gpu instead of using the iGPU

    Just note, if you use Intel Quick Sync Video for encoding acceleration then this won't work on a F class CPU.
