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
