Intel Core i7 9700K processor review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/19/2018 03:00 PM [ 314 comment(s) ]

It is time to review that secondary Coffee Lake-S refresh release. In this review we put some blisters on the Core i7 9700K. This is the higher end mainstream processor. With eight cores it is aimed at the Z390 chipset based platform. But is it an interesting enough proc with just 8 threads, as this dawg does have hyper-threading?

I don't get it - what was Intel so afraid of? This is a pretty solid CPU (performance wise) in every category, what made them think they had to go through with all that shady business with PT?

The only thing that's especially crappy about this CPU is the price, which is the one thing Intel could easily change.

So from Hilbert's data 2700X vs 9900K the IPC is within 3%. The power usage of both CPUs at max load is essentially the same but AMD has much lower clocks. Looks like all AMD needs is 7nm to get clocks up?

I'm very happy that I waited for your 9600K review, it seems to be surprisingly good and it looks like I will once again have to put my Ryzen upgrade plans on ice.

I don't care about who manufactures the "best" CPUs or not as long as I can feed my 1080p (144hz) monitor and maintain high frames, but the 2700X just doesn't seem up for the task.

However Intel treating Hyper Threading (HT) as an exclusive, just doesn't make sense, but then again I don't render videos 24/7 for a living...
