Intel Core i7-10700K processor review
Posted by: on: 07/09/2020 01:04 PM [

A review that has been overdue is the 8-core Core i7-10700K processor from Intel. The 10th generation Intel Core desktop processors previously known as CML aka Comet Lake has been received with mixed feelings. Will the Core i7-10700K be a more attractive offer?

A little strange how the 9900K comes on top sometimes (maybe the results weren't compensating for security mitigations since they were recorded?). These 10th gen products seem to be the first reasonably-priced CPUs Intel has released since Sandy Bridge.
By that logic, isn't it a bit disingenuous to buy this CPU for such tasks? Wherever clock speed is the #1 concern, you might as well get a 10600K, where you can more easily maintain higher clock speeds at a lower price. When clock speed isn't the #1 concern, this CPU doesn't beat the 3800X in all tests. It's already very power-hungry as-is, so any overclocking advantage it may have is crippled by its heat output. I'm not saying it's bad, because its performance is competitive for the price, but gaming really is the only task it has a distinct advantage in, compared to the competition. It isn't the best option for heavily multi-threaded workloads and it isn't the best option if you care about super high clock speeds. But, I would say it makes for a healthy middle-ground.

Always think it's a bit disingenuous to say it's only gaming that these do well at. Basically if whatever you are doing doesn't need more cores then the Intel cpu provides it's faster. It's not just in single threaded tasks that the Intel chip is quicker at, it's also at any task that uses multiple cores up to the max cores of the intel chip, because the intel chip can clock all of those cores so high, where as the ryzen clocks down more.

So, a slightly faster and cheaper 9900K or just a 9900KS in new clothes ?
They could have just reduced 9900K price and be done with it.
He says whole ignoring the 3600XT 3900XT and ESPECIALLY 3800XT lol

No, this CPU is better in every way, I had 9900K and had to use 280mm AIO even on stock and with slight overclock like using Multi Core Enhancement, it would heat up like stove.
Now on 10700K im using simple Noctua D5s and have lower temps and easy 5ghz and i haven't even started overclocking yet, im sure i can do 5.2-5.3
Also on stock it beats 9900K

Review: Intel Core i7-10700K processor (8c/16t)
Are you sure that your CPU-Z 9900K scores are correct? without multi core enhancements or some turbo boost OC?
The thing is CPU-Z the pre-set scores for 9900KF are lower then yours
SC: 543
MC: 5423
Also pre-set scores for 10700 are higher then 9900KF
SC: 568
MC: 5625
So 10700K should be faster then both
I also have 10700K and had 10700 for a week and 9900K for a year before
But my scores are always lower then pre-set scores, no matter what I do, I think my windows just needs re-install and it has turbo boost 3.0 and other CPU related drivers broken for sure, my CPUs cant even match pre-set scores on stock not to mention be higher then that like yours.
Only with 5Ghz overclock my 10700K beats the pre-set scores of 1070 non K

And you are a total noob on these forums, too lazy to even bother checking something before you say it:
https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/review-ryzen-5-3600xt-ryzen-7-3800xt-and-ryzen-9-3900xt.433163/
See who is the person that first commented on how useless are those releases too, or the other few posts below accentuating the same idea.
I have no love for any of these mega-corporations, especially when they do sh|t releases like these.

Also on stock it beats 9900KWow, you had a 9900K and "upgraded" to 10700K.
Amazing job, congrats !
Intel must love you deeply.
