Spanish website posts Core i7-9700K Benchmarks

A Spanish website just posted a near full review of the Intel Core i7 9700K processor, the review includes a fairly wide selection of benchmarks including some CPU tests and games.

The guys from El Chapuzas Informático have been able to test a dozen or so benchmarks of which nine are games. In the end, the Core i7 9700K is pretty much on par with a Ryzen 7 2700X, aside from Cinebench. As expected in gaming it's a notch faster thanks to games having few threads and the Core i7 benefitting from higher clocks.


Socket	LGA 1151
Family	Coffee Lake
Fabrication process	14 nm
Cores / Threads	8 cores / 8 threads
Base Frequency	3.60 GHz
Turbo Frequency	4.60 / 4.90 GHz (all / one core)
Cache L3	12 MB
Integrated Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 630
Compatible Memory	DDR4-2666 Dual-Channel
PCIe	16
TDP	95W

For the money, it'll probably be a good gaming processor alright. What's a little odd to see is that the i7-9700K really isn't a third or so faster than the Core i7-8700K despite it having two more cores. But that would/could be the direct result of the lack of HyperThreading. When trying to overclock they reached a pretty familiar 5 GHz, they did so on 1.40 Volts.

Interesting.

Maybe save some $$ and get 2700x and get 16 treads?

Best to see HH's review. I am sure most want to see how it OCs.

LOL. With 2700X @ £282 and 2700 @ £252 makes no sense not only to buy the 9700K at it's rumoured price, but even the 8700K at it's current price.....
And for what? 1fps at 1080p at best? While it consumes 33% more power!!!!!

Because lets not forget the posted benchmarks if true, are the first ones having Z370 boards fully patched with the security patches, and no cheating by the reviewers using unpatched boards any more. (as they cannot run the 9xxx CPU series).

What is TSX in the instruction set?

I haven't seen that one before.

So where's the Tom's Hardware article on this?

"When your whole life flashes before you, how much of it do you not want to have 1 more FPS than a 8700K?" :p

These results would make a lot of sense there shouldnt be an IPC change far as i know anyway, and more cores are great for somethings but many games still don't use muti-core and many use one core manly with 1/2 offload cores... Past couple of years we haven't seen much gain in terms of fps gains from CPU's mostly comes from GPU's atm till i guess we get a high enough framerate that 4k and even 1440p wont be so bottlenecked by GPU's

Imagine what numbers that beast of a CPU would push if it had hyper-threading!

Note really much more as you could compare the 9600K to the 8700K...
I knew this 9700K wouldn't be interesting, powerful as a less expensive 8700K, the 2700 and the 2700X stay more interesting because way cheaper and sometime in some applications they are more powerful. This 9700K is useless. The 9900K will be a bit better than the 2700X, let say around 10-15% better in application.

Same ipc as 8700K

No it's not the same ipc. But it is close, the 8700K is running at a slightly higher clockspeed while being slightly slower. It's not much difference either way, but it does indicate that the ipc is very slightly higher.

And no AVX 512. No new instructions, still 14nm, this is just a 9600k with 2 more cores.

Unless HT gets announced later for an extreme edition - I wonder if Intel has plans to update their SMT-implementation in the wake of AMD's; post "Spectre-class" world in their next cpu microarchitecture.

We will see the 9900K tested. Gaming will be virtually the same and multi threaded testes will get better.
