Since our thermal and power consumption numbers are very different from other publications, here's some clarification on our board settings:
-Multi-core enhancement: Disabled
-SVID behavior: "Intel Fail-Safe" / Intel's default
-XMP: Enabled
-All power duration and limit settings default
-Core multiplier at defaults
-Core voltages at defaults
Cooler: Corsair H115i w/IC Graphite thermal pads
The performance numbers we got were double-checked against Intel's engineers, and they were in line; This suggests that our thermal tests are indicative of stock performance (with motherboard vendor optimizations disabled). We did *not* ask Intel about their thermal or power consumption results.
you didn't mention the cooler used anywhere btw
Linus reply
Light Silent hope intel postmarked that check dude
@tommihommi1 Good catch. It was a Corsair H115i on all platforms.
@Light Silent: It's 5 GHz on 2 cores, 4.7 GHz is the all-core boost.

>Killing hyperthreading on all but your highest end CPU
It's like intel WANT AMD to win
You can have smooth responsiveness on Intel too. Without HT, IDK. Disable deep C-states. It takes additional power to run the additional HT pipelines. Your best power consumption vs performance is without HT. The low end Ryzens don't have SMT and they're quite responsive whether idle or when all cores are busy.
I've also seen a demo where having more than your optimal number of cores available can hurt performance by having threads spread out too much and result in downclocking. Unless you prefer to waste a lot of power keeping it in performance mode. Or unless you can and do lock the app to it's optimal number of cores and set affinity to a specific set. This was demoed on a 6c/12t cpu and an 8c/16t cpu by two different people by just turning HT off and on and disabling cores for comparison.
@@jasonlisonbee wait...
"Waste a lot of power keeping it in performance mode"
You can't tell me that people with 6 core CPUs and likely powerful gfx cards Actually care about the amount of power their computer takes from the wall. Also, if you want to save a bit of power, T U R N O F F Y O U R C O M P U T E R W H E N Y O U A R E N ' T U S I N G I T
@Mentos, not an option when it's always recoding videos. If you ever encode to h265, always use 'pmode'. I don't know why it's not on by default when you have more than two cores. It improves thread utilization and output quality. Makes the files smaller if you use CQ mode. Too many start ups in a cold room can also damage electronics. It's optimal to keep it at a (near) constant temp. I just reminded myself why I should have liquid cooling even though my CPU never reaches critical temps on air (It might if I used the 'performance' governor rather than 'schedutil' for a couple percent difference in app performance.). Much slower heat/cooling cycles regardless of usage. Since the room is cold, it's not a big deal anyway, it's saving the use of running a room heater.
I saved 200$ by turning off my heating at home during the winter and buying an AMD GPU and leaving my PC ON when in use/at home

Any other 4790k users here who are unsure if they should upgrade or not? :(
Still using 4790k and gtx970 and I'm gonna wait few more years probably. No new super-demanding AAA games coming out anyway.
Upgraded to i7 8700k oc to 5ghz. Delid. Happy as can be.
I’m going to be upgrading from my 4790k. Going to be getting the 9900k I expect I won’t upgrade again for another 5 years
I'd wait new gen, especially wait if AMD comes out with something good. Between 4790k and 7700k only like 10% difference total. 8700k only 1% better single thread performance than 7700k. Unless you want to spend $600 on CPU don't bother for another 1-2 years.
Im still on my 4790k and two 1080ti's SLI I have been itching to get a new CPU still unsure of what to do though. Ideally I would like more cores for newer titles coming out. But still have decent clock speeds. Id go with the 2700X but it is kinda of weird going from my OC 4.7Ghz CPU to something thats clocked lower. Which leads me to intels outrageous 9900k. I think I might wait for zen 2 to come out next year. :(
RIP "Hyper-threading" for Core i7
(2009 - 2018)
nope. the 9700k, predecessor to the 8700k has 8c and 8t. so in total 8 cores. the 8700k had 6 cores and 12 threads. 4 more cores.
hypertheading cores are not real cores. they are like 1/2 cores on a good day, and basically nothing on most days.
woolfoma - It's even a bit less than 1/2 as far I am aware.
I mean the best anyone has ever gotten out of hyperthreading is a 50% bump in a like a handful of programs, most make no use of it.
8700k had 6 cores and 12 threads. your theory blown out of the water.... id rather have 6 + 6 than just 8

it's not the best cpu, it's the fastest. Price to performance ratio is a complete mess
When u go for the fastest, price and performance ratio r irrelevant. If u think it's too expensive simply means it was not design for u
@@laujack24 if intel came next year with a new CPU 15% faster than this one but with a price of 1500 euro would you still say that? Sorry to
tell you that but price to performance matters and it matters a lot in the hardware industry.
@@laujack24 just like RTX 2080TI. That's why we desperately need a competitor on every category. If someone were to buy this intel CPU though, is kinda stupid or crazy rich. A ~20% increase for twice the price?
The results on here are complete bunk. The thermals are wrong because the motherboard they chose is only a cheap 4 phase vrm design. The chip is actually faster than what they posted, but the heat is INSANE, and the tdp is WAY higher than what he posted. Go see hardware unboxed. He explains how Linus and OC3D got these results because they both used the same shitty board.
I've observed that that concept is hard to understand for some people, and I'm not talking about Intel fanboys but AMD fanboys, in some tech blogs I comment on. It's like saying the 9900k is the fastest means (for them) saying it's the best and the only one worth buying and that Ryzen is shit.
I just hope neither Intel nor AMD make a mess and the healthy competition lasts for as long as possible. Intel is having trouble with production and that's why their CPUs are SO expensive right now (they would be more expensive than AMD's anyway, but not for that much of a difference).
All AMD need to do is bump up the core speeds for the next Ryzen iteration`s,and intels last pillar will fall.
Can not wait till the unveil of amd 7NM chips in january
hmm no clock speed kind of don't mater..
AMD needs to bump up their IPC per a thread , past intel to take them out... Pure clock speed helps but IPC matter the most..
Funny seeing as how many are suddenly saying this when a lot of the Intel fanboys always used to brag and rag on AMD cpu's because of Intel's core 2 core performance.
If they were able to do so, they would've done it already. Its clear cpu manufacturing details and logistics involved are way over our heads.
@@nosferatu5 they are working on a new architecture(zen3)so expect ipc gains.Plus zen3 will be on 7nm.So with ipc gains + clock speed increase AMD will be able to match in gaming performance.
That ryzen 2700 X is a beast for how much it costs honestly. + You get a free LED cooler? Btch please like i care about 15-20 fps difference on 160 fps range.
Never mind that, if you put the savings towards a better video card, you'll get a HUGE fps INCREASE for the same money.
its not about only 15 - 20 fps difference. But its about how long your computer will be up to date ?
i9 9900k will last you for about 8 years while the ryzen will get outdated in the next 4
@@Tragedyval - In the next four years, paying another $300 will get you a processor FAR more powerful than the i9-9900K so I'd rather do the extra upgrade. And I don't know where you get your ideas but the i7-2600K is about 8 years old and I would have upgraded from it long ago. I never bought one because I just wasn't willing to pay what Intel wanted for that either, I got an FX-8350 instead for 1/3 the price. My experience with it over five years told me that I made the right choice because I NEVER had any gaming problems with it so not paying the Intel tax turned out to be a smart move. By the time Ryzen 3 is out, all signs point to AMD having surpassed Intel's IPC and clock speeds while retaining their efficient modular-core design. You really sound like a simple fanboy.
Programs and games are going to be more and more threaded in the future and that is also the reason why many people are still happy with the FX-8350. I was until Canada Computers offered me an R7-1700 for under $400CAD. I didn't retire my FX CPU, I used it to build a 30TB file server.
@@AvroBellow
Intel CPUS last longer if you buy their high end. Spending as much as you can you do not need to keep upgrading unlike the low performance of AMD cpus costs less but after two years their performance decrease greartly. Spending more you get what you pay for and spending less you get your moneys worth.
Id rather spend a lot now than to have a PC that will be out dated in less than 3 years.

"Here we are again with another refresh of Skylake"
It is the second refresh of Skylake which is a refresh of Broadwell, which is a refresh of Haswell, which is a refresh of Ivy Bridge, which is a a refresh of Sandy Bridge.
Yep, same architecture for about 5-6 years now? Small bumps in IPC and finally after AMD launched Ryzen Intel is now throwing out Cpus all over the place. An i9 on the mainstream? I guess they couldn't call it an i7 since that would confuse others who purchased the x299 platform or ticked them off which I'm sure it did already. Think about how much they paid for that i9 on x299 and here's one for half the price. I would be pissed. That's probably the reason Intel didn't lower the price any lower. X299 owners would have went full-blown retarded. I know I would have and it's the reason I didn't go x299. I went Ryzen 1700-2700x all the way for half the price and a few frames less. I game at 4k so it doesn't matter. I would imagine or hope that most people spending 2 grand on a pc doesn't buy a 150$ monitor in 1080p. I imagine most would go 2k 144hz or 4k like me. It wouldn't make any sense to game in 1080p with a 2080ti and 500$ cpu. These reviewers don't normally go with what most people have as far as hardware. Most have a Ryzen 1600-2600 or Ryzen 1700 or Intel 8400-7700k paired with a 1070, 1060, or 970,580 gpu. The CPU wouldn't matter with a 1060 as most will be a gpu bottleneck anyway. Even a 1070 will be pushed to the max with a 2600x or 8600 cpu.
Skylake is not a refresh of Broadwell just look at the second syllable of Intel Architectures

@@XDbored1 you are a complete brainlet if you think Skylake CPU's (and by extension kaby and coffee lake CPU's) are not a continuation of Sandy Bridge architecture. All that has changed since Sandy Bridge are a change in memory controller, 2 manufacturing node refinements, slight deviations in iGPU, and some insignificant instruction set additions.
my point is a new Memory controller and 2 manufacturing node refinements are important changes but we have had nothing since Skylake the 6700K shits all over the 2700K but if you look at Intels newer quad cores there's nothing different between them and the 6700K

This isn't new. Premiering has been here for over a month. DashieGames has been using it for his Super Mario Maker weekly videos for the past 4-5 weeks now.
CZcams Premiere is simply a scheduled time when a *pre-recorded* video will play live (basically, you cannot skip forward in the video, you watched the video at the SAME time as other people, "live", and you can use live chat with them as well.) All this does, is allow for community gathering and conversation about a video. It's like watching a TV show with your friends, the show is pre-recorded, but it's "live" on-air (I'm talking about cable, not on-demand) and you can't skip forward, except your "friends" are just other viewers in other places around the world. After the premiere is finished, it will simply be a video, and the creator can choose whether to keep the live chat on or off.

What math informs you that $579 is 40% more than $300? What numerical system was used?
Was wondering about that, I guess they went by 579-304=275, 275/579=47.5%, and then taking the first number, or... SOMETHING. Really it's 90% more expensive than the Ryzen and 49% more expensive than the 8700K.

And still hits 100 regardless. Toothpaste is better, easier and safer to delid. I remember the last time I delidded a soldered CPU, I'm dreading doing it again.
It's the motherboards vrm that is shit and is throttling the CPU. How can you be in this business, and reviewing CPU's for years without noticing that the clockspeeds were super low? Linus get your shit together.

100 degrees when it runs at its proper 4.7 GHz, and you need an insane motherboard for that.

how much are u paid for saying this?, r5 2600 is the best cpu right now for 150$
Literally half the price with excess weight thrown in.
Built two 2600x based machines this week, more to come soon. Happy times ahead
@Anon 1 yes ryzen performs worse in gaming. Intel has that definitely. Zen 2 may change that but who knows. What must be taken into consideration is that gaming is not all a PC must do. Productivity is an important factor and yes the 9900k performs better than the 2700x but for 500 that is entering HEDT range which will be much better for productivity. What I'm trying to say is that all chips have their place and not one is 'trash' just for performing badly in one aspect
Why buy an X chip when the non X is exactly the same and cheaper? 2700 is a great cheap, cheaper, comes with a pretty damn good cooler and MBs are cheaper than Intel too. Makes it really easy to shell out the few extra bucks for good RAM to make her sing.

Never ever do FPS deltas. They have no meaning. That's because FPS is a nonlinear quantity. An FPS delta of 20 means something entirely different if it is between 20 and 40 fps vs. 300 and 320 fps for example. Use SPF or milliseconds instead - these *are* linear quantities.

Here in the UK. The 9900K is £599 and the 2700X is £299...
Alternatively on Overclockers shop in the UK. For £538.97 you can get a Ryzen 7 2700X, Asus Strix motherboard, 8GB of RAM and a 480GB SSD..
Don't get me wrong. I can afford a 9900K but I still dont want to be ripped off or just not see good value and at these price differences it just seems a bit of a joke.
Can you imagine spending £600, and still being down a motherboard, ram and SSD?.. Or you can have all of that, but be down 5-10% fps, for the same graphics card.. Except now you have £400 more to spend on the graphics card... And more than making up the difference. There's just no value here for gaming, the only thing its supposed to do "best".
if you play at 4k or 2k FPS difference will be minimal.
That's because the bundle pack isn't very good...first the Mobo is one of the worst Asus boards out of the pack...second the Teamgroup ram is pants slow for Ryzen.
Third the Teamgroup SSD is not a quick as others and cheaply made too.
Always be wary of bundles...they are always just the retailer trying to clear more room of shite that they struggle to sell inorder to get rid.
Better to choose your own components...the Asus Crosshair v2 for example pissed all over the Strix..and more features...for an extra few quid.
That's 1 example of that bundle.
3000MHz CL16 .. slow RAM? That isn't slow. 2400MHz is bog standard RAM and usually fine for most people. Sure it isn't 3200MHz CL14, but 3000 MHz is fine. Also any ASUS X370 board is fine. They probably bought too many of them, and now most people buying high end Ryzen motherboards would be buying X470, so they want to get rid of excess stock. So what, it's not a bad board at all. In what universe is a Crosshair X370 board "a few quid more" than the STRIX X370-F? That isn't and has never been the case.
@ MayDay GoingDown!! While I agree that bundles are, usually, made out of mediocre parts, I think that was not necessarily the point of OP's example. I see it more like: for the price of just the CPU, you can get the core parts of an entire computer and be left with £62.
I'm pretty sure you can upgrade the mediocre parts to better ones and still make the £599 limit. It puts things into perspective rather well.
Was rocking my Gen 1 i7 960 for the longest time, but just bought i7 8700k due to price. Hopefully theres noticeable improvements for me either way. Currently have GTX 970, but will soon change that out too.

from retailers in the EU it's more like 50 percent... I can literally buy 2 2700X's for the price of a i9-9900K o.O Also is Intel binning these chips when sending to big outlets? Every reviewer I've seen EXCEPT for Tomshardware and LTT (HU, Der8auer and others) have seen the 9900K have crap thermals. I also noticed that Toms sample was running at much lower voltages than those described by Hardware Unboxed... Really does make one wonder if Intel made sure to send the best voltage to frequency samples to the largest reviewers...
idk all i know the previous gen 8700K for me is running at very low temp for air cooled.
Guy Fawkes I am not sure, but didnt linus say that he watch at least 3 other reviews, before he does his? But if, I think he would said that.
Yeah Intel prices suck in Europe for example in Hungary the i5 8400 costs the same as the 2700.
That's near 100% just to let you know ::)
Thing I wondered about was how der8auer mentioned, that the Chips who clock 5Ghz easily should already be quite good samples. And I remember Jay saying he had zero problems getting the chip to 5Ghz. I'm not trying to say anything against him but it seems like he got lucky again because having a stable OC at auto voltage seems like the chip COULD clock higher. Tinfoil hat off. Could just be luck, but wouldn't be surprising if it was binned at some point of the harsh competition they are facing ATM in terms of price.
Gamers - "Intel has yet to push anything NEW to the market lacking innovation."
Intel - "Ha! Let's prove them wrong! We can innovate!" Proceedes to remove hyerthreading and a refresh. Also throws in a $410.00 price tag.
Yeah... I think I'm swapping to AMD after Intel's super shady buissness model which has been revilied several times.
its almost like intel wants amd to catch up in single thread performance too so that amd will get more fps in gaming then intel.
they are so close.
and watch as zen 2 gets the single thread to 5 percent
I love my 8 core 1800x and it was only $350 a year ago. Its now a year old and still runs great with me being able to sim out stuff faster then my friends 6 core coffee lake and thats been happening for a year now. If you buy an intel CPU without needing the extra frames or its integrations with certain programs like AE then you're deciding to spend money on brand not product imo.
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE NEW CHIP that was market as the best cpu for gaming... is actually slower than the old one for gaming.....you can also appreciate the extreme quality of 115c temperatures and really bad soldering.... all for you at worse price than ryzen and same price as Threadripper ... and also the fact that can be another paper lunch...for the intel fanboys
The problem with Intel is the founders no longer exist in the way they used to. Intel was actually an amazing company when they started, but the people running the show aren't who made the company and that leads to things like removing STIM and ramping up prices when you are already losing market share. Intel holds the same place as Apple for me now. They make a great product, but the majority of their product is marketing and hype without much substance in the product itself.
Thanks to this video I now know that Ryzen supports ECC memory.
Hello

Yep. It's a 100% difference!
plus the boards for the 2700x are much cheaper as well. plus those am4 boards are said to be compatible with future amd cpu's for a bit longer.
@@ALegitimateCZcamsr I just built a new system with ryzen 5 1500x 16gb ddr4 ram and a gigabyte board all together for $480. Looking at a ryzen 7 1800x for $250 on amazon. Comparing that to Intel, Intel straight up is scamming. My laptops 8750h is still close to the performance of that 9900k. Like wtf is the pricing on that thing? 580 bucks for a few extra threads that is close to the same performance of the 300 dollar 2700x. Intel is on some high key fuckin drugs
Plus Ryzen actually includes a cooler, and a pretty good one at that
this is true, the cooler for the 2700x is actaully pretty decent. Only really worth getting an after market if you want it to run quite under heavy load. other wise just day to day use and it'll be perfectly fine.

Too Little, Too Late, Too Expensive! 😁

9700k>>>2700x if money isn't an issue
😂😂
Some of these mathematical geniuses need to open their Windows 10 calculators and press the following buttons 304+90%=
'For a 16 thread processor, you will be paying a nearly 40% premium to get a blue case badge.'
Someone explain this math to me. I can admit maybe I'm crazy, but
$329 -> $488 (MSRP vs MSRP) is a 48% increase
$304 -> $488 (current price vs MSRP) is a 61% increase.
$304 -> $579 (current vs current) is a 90% increase.
'At 30-40% more than the i7-8700K and Ryzen 7 2700X'
Again, what?
8700K MSRP: $359
2700X MSRP: $329
9900K MSRP: $488
That's 36-48%.
8700K Current: $370
2700X Current: $304
9900K Current: $579
That's 56-90%.
30-40% price increase is an outlandish claim.
Thank you, was wondering about this too.
Take a guess why he said that, maybe you'll realise he did too.
He said somewhere else in the video that when they were recording, the exact price wasn't available
The 2700x is 30 to 40 percent cheaper... I guess.
It depends what number you divide the difference by. Going from Intel to AMD saves you 30-40% of the cost. It's not how I would do math or present that info but I can see how someone can make that mistake writing this.
I have my 9900k for 3 years know, running at solid 5.2 Ghz with an AIO and ohh boy, its going strong until today and i really think that i will be good for another 2 years atleast in 1440p 💪🏻
this is what I was thinking about. Years ago you could get an i9, overclocked it to 5ghz, and still having a decent performance even for high end card. And AMD? I have a 2700x and its a garbage. Same aera. Okay, the 2700x is much much cheaper
@@DaBombtasi yea 9900k is a good option if u get a good deal.
I mean mine is working great, heat is managed well with the Corsair Aio and i know for shure i could pack a 4090 in my Pc and the I9 would still not be a bottleneck.
Ofc i play in 1440p so the CPU Difference isnt that big, but tbh the Cpu will be great for another decade, i think the first thing to swap would be my 2080Super OC.

Whats the Name of the Song in the Background?
I run my Core i7-6900k (exactly equivalent to the 9900k just a few years old) with hyperthreading off. Since the main CPU-intensive thing I do is music production -- a task that benefits from single thread performance -- I actually get much *better* performance from having fewer logical cores. In one song, the performance is almost twice as good, but usually the benefit is much less. So to anyone considering this chip, I would recommend waiting for the 9700k unless you work with video or other multi-threaded workloads a lot. For single thread tasks, the 9700k will perform at least as well as the 9900k at the same clock speed.
No hyperthreading on the 9700K really sucks balls, and I just don't understand why Intel made this move. Having hyperthreading ONLY on the top-end flagship product in 2018 makes no sense. Hyperthreading in not some expensive luxury-part or niche feature FFS.
Now though you are stuck with the shitty choice of having to pay the absurd top-tier price, or still pay quite a lot and not even get the hyperthreading on what is supposed to be a high-end product.
Besides, it just means old 8700k's eat into the 9700K market. It's cheaper and has multithreading - and arguably you may not have much use of the 2 extra cores for gaming and most non-workstation tasks.
TheStigma Same reason Apple put a 720p screen on the IPhone XR; to distant it from the premium product. No hyper threading is a deal breaker for most tech enthusiast so Intel removed an extremely important aspect of it so people would purchase 9900k.
Hypertgreading would hurt performance not help it. Be thankful they made the decision.
Because having a lower clocked version of the 8 core 16 thread cpu would just mean having a 2700X. It wouldn't make much sense.
They did it for me. I always wanted a fast CPU with no SMT and needed to stick to i5 until now. Oh wait, last year's i5 tier is now called i7? Absolutely idiotic. Linus is right to be mad (not only because the Techquickie episode is suddenly wrong for no reason)
So now I'm totally getting the 9700K... whenever it's actually launched (as in: appears in European stores for price lower than $1000, which is probably just a way of them saying "we don't actually have it in stock, don't buy it yet").
Compare 9700K to 9900K. Now add multi-threading to 9700K and compare again. See why?
16 PCI-E lanes on a $580 chip. This is the world Intel expect you to live in. Can't even use SLI to it's full extent. Cache sizes are too small too.
From a gamers standopint - yes. Just remember that gaming isn't everything and, for example, a user that needs a productivity rig, won't give 2 shits about how many available PCIe lanes you offer. Food for thought.
When something doesn't apply to you, you have the ability to ignore it. Food for thought.
Actually, 3d rendering and deep learning applications benefit immensely from multi-GPU setups. Even if it's not Crossfire or SLI technologies, a decent workstation for 3d rendering would benefit from more PCIe lanes. The i9-9900k would be a bit of budget option for workstations, but nonetheless, more of a feature doesn't hurt anything but Intel's X299 sales.
@@webbie7503 imagine if they actually supported SLI. Sell double the cards! I wonder why they don't want people to buy more than 1 card
well SLI is kinda dead now NVLink might be a up tick developers wanting to use multi-card support. NVLink was made to replace a on board connection to remove the latency between compute cards. It can be used for SLI it appears but only if the SLI is coded on the hardware level to support the more throughput and less assumed latency in software drivers.
I am confused, which 370 are you referring to? Because I am running a low end (sorta) 370 with integrated Wi-Fi and (yes I know just 1) a 3.1 gen 2 usb port.
Hey Linus, I am curious if you could do a benchmark with the cores to see which one would he the best buy for aomeone that uses Autodesk Maya, Photoshop and Unreal engine?
Power consumption figures seem off. 9900k using less power under full load than the 8700k. Same architecture, more cores, less power?
Thats not even mentioning that they don't come close to the figures provided by other reviewers with the same workloads.
it can be explained with lower voltage or lower freq... also it's "only" aida64 fpu which is not a very stressful test. Also it can explained with avx-3 or something such. But yes, the power draw figures don't make sense.
ive seen plenty of reviews showing this, but generally they are using asus motherboards....
Want to know why? Cause he's a snake LOL, let's see if another video is gonna launch correcting his mistakes.
so lowering temperature can actually lower power consumption even with slightly higher performance coming out of it the lower power wold be due to the the new under lid heat dissipation (soldering them together)

Sure it's faster, but the price is just too much. It's why I mainly stick with Ryzen because I get a good amount of value (not the best but whatever) for the price. I don't care if I lose a few frames, or even if it gets slower in certain applications, I'm paying much less and on the other note, motherboards for Ryzen are MUCH cheaper.
If you are at 1440p or 4k it doesn't matter anyway. So many benchmarks showing the 8700k having a 5% to 10% performance advantage at 1440p over the r5 2600 with a 1080ti. Spending that $200 on a better gpu will always give you better performance.
I don't care how much my hardware costs, but even then it's impossible to find arguments for the 9900k from a gaming standpoint. You wont pay more than 500$ for your cpu to play on 1080p, thats just dumb. Moving on to 1440p (or even 4k), your CPU basically doesn't matter, since even my 2080ti hasn't enough Power to overcome any mordern CPU. No reason to pay doble the price if your GPU is the bottleneck anyway.
Benedict Rancor unless you are Shroud and want more FPS for your 240hz monitor. I have a 2700x, but I do understand why people will upgrade purely for the FPS instead of price/performance.

no you cant afford any intel cpu

Honestly, this is starting to feel like Phenom days. Everyone's buying Intels because they are "better" with their hyper-threading. . .for gaming. Meanwhile I'm over here spending half as much for the same performance and better overclocks, meaning I can afford a better GPU.
So then if the cycle continues to repeat itself... Another Sandy Bridge revolution mayhaps? Another faildozer flop?
Heck I'm glad I read your comment, this is genuinely interesting to think about.
I mean. true. but it also depends a lot on the situation you are in. If you already have a suitable Intel motherboard and are looking for an upgrade switching to AMD has some additional costs associated with it. A good mainboard doesn't come for free either.
fortunately you can get a good mobo for the price difference between the cpus
true. But if you pay about the same for both options you'll end up with more performance choosing the new intel chip right now. If you put together a new pc I agree that there is no way anyone should go for the intel option right now - especially not this chip. Also if you don't care about what mobo you'll get and good bios/IO/etc you can probably get a good price on it and still switch to a R7. But there are some people for which this chip might make sense. Especially if you already have a high end Intel Motherboard with the right socket.
@TheVergile BUut that's the thign here: Proice to performance is very much in AMD's court right now. You get a 12% increase in performance for an extra 31% of the price.
hey this is only 364 on amazon right now soo is this a good buy for me?? I already have the motherboard currently on a 9600k?
So i have an i7 6850k, if i would switch to 9th gen, would i see any type of better performance? Running two 1080 in sli also.
Where are the TR 1920x comparisons? The platform might be a little bit more expensive, but the CPU is cheaper and it has 4 more cores than this.
Threadripper has lower overall gaming performance due to lower core clocks from having more cores. What makes you think that adding 4 more cores but dropping 300mhz compared to the r7 2700x is better for gaming? And if you're looking more into productivity instead of gaming, you wouldn't be looking at the 9900k in the first place, you'd be looking at skylake x or threadripper. It's a poor comparison.
So for the productivity workloads tested you would consider threadripper, just like I suggested?
TR is more similar to x299 chipset; i9 would be more comparable to a ryzen than TR. So yes for productivity workloads you would be looking at Thread ripper or x299 chipsets, but that is not what you suggested :P
