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?

And with usually 2 years less warranty over the boxed version and that 1 year that it has, is from the seller afaik.
Intel does not offer warranty on tray cpu's.
Just saying before anyone not properly informed jumps on tray versions.
interesting I didn't know that but in my case it doesn't matter
in Switzerland everything sold has a 2 years warranty since 2013 it's a law, if the original warranty is less it will be fixed or replaced at the vendor's expense (what Intel describes as Intel doesn't provide direct warranty support. Contact your OEM or reseller for warranty support.")
they can decide to exclude that possibilty but in that case no one would buy from them so in most cases they don't
direct warranties are almost non-existent in here, if you buy item X in shop Y you bring it back to shop Y I never had to fill any of the warranty papers that come with pc hardware in 20 years+ (except it crap shops no one should ever buy from)
it's how it should be really never understood that "direct warranty" thing it's illogical
unless you can order directly from an official Intel website or shop, intel sells to a distributor that sells to a retailer that sells to you, that's not what I call being Intel's customer personnally

After reading the comparisons, I realized that 9700K is better than 9600K (9900K I did not consider for myself because of the price). In addition to the obvious advantages in the form of 2 additional cores, can anyone advise what to choose?

Well yeah, of course the 9700K is better. Intel might have a confusing (or stupid, to some) naming scheme but when comparing parts of the same kind (so desktop CPUs to desktop CPUs, or server CPUs to server CPUs), the bigger number is almost always better.
Seeing as you factor in money for whether something is worth purchasing, I have 2 comments for that:
1. The community has no right to suggest which of the 2 products you are looking for because it is entirely your choice. You're basically asking us "should I buy more or less of the same thing" which we can't tell you because that depends on what you intend to run on it. As long as you have proper cooling and can afford it, the 9700K is unanimously the better option. The reason people buy a 9600K is because perhaps the 9700K is overkill for their applications. Most applications don't need 8 cores.
2. Have you not considered Zen2 products? Depending on what you intend to do, you'll get a hell of a lot more performance for the same money. Unless you're bound to Intel or really care that much about gaining a few FPS difference, I personally wouldn't recommend either CPU you chose.

9700K user here, upgraded a year ago from a 2500K (before all the Ryzen stuff came out or was just coming out). Still no regrets, great CPU for gaming and some photo editing.
