    sigh so sad Intel fanbois will still blindly buy despite all the kicks they have had in the Teeth over the years from lack of progression and feature capping to needing a new board almost yearly to get the latest benefits

    My 5800X 5175Mhz CL20 3600Mhz Just as good as 11700K but I am rocking a Cheap 10850K and there is no difference in PC gaming or anything really apart from stupid Cinebench scores.
    Play PC game @ 4K and any CPU will do. Play PC games at 720P/1080P then single core thread could get you a few FPS.

    @Dardan1a
    Looks like Nizzen scores are normal for that benchmark . I tested a 5800X on RTX 3080 and score 215FPS with CL20 3600Mhz Ram ,so RTX 3090 looks good at those FPS and neither CPU is bad at those crap settings.

    Those difference are lower in this video than the previous video though and are more inline with what reported by other sources. It's a well known fact that the 10700k is a better gaming cpu than the 3700x at a lower resolution than 3k with a high end GPU. The previous video has some unusually high difference specially the first game. At 3k and up there's not much difference though.

    I just realized while the first video is claiming 2k it is using DLSS in some games which means it is not really running at 2k which could explain the unusually high difference. Still a good result for the 10700k when DLSS 2.0 is available but it's not something you can rely on in all games you play far from it.

    5.3ghz all core ~1.42v LLC8 5.1ghz is sweetspot for my sample. SP63
    standard 4000c16 in that test

    I can confirm that 11700k is a boring cpu. Only reason to buy this is for gaming only and upgrading from ancient hardware.

    For me 8 core in 2021 is epic fail. Still using my soon 4 years old delidded 7980xe @ 4700mhz with 4000mhz c16 memory for Workstation, and some gaming. My son is using my best delidded direct die cooled 10900k 5,5ghz for gaming :p

    My doughter is using the 5900x for gaming and videoes.

    Don't think so just realized the guy is using DLSS this could explain the results as Ryzen 3k was kind of struggling at 1080p

    Well, after looking at the Anandtech results linked by someone on here it shows how well the i9 9900K still does for its age at 4K gaming. As I only have a 120hz LG Oled48cx there is no point spending about £1000 for a new cpu and motherboard. See what comes out in a couple of years I guess

    Unless you always want the absolute best, no point in upgrading 9900K's if your main concern is gaming. Gain is not worth the cost. Professional workloads is a different topic though.

    Am4 with ryzen 1600-1800 was quite future proof. Still works good :)

    Compared to 7600/7700k i think that was quite a futureproof. They can even swap their cpus to something newer without needing a new board.

    My friend has 1600Af + 3060ti. Works like charm, zero noticeable cpu bottleneck. Imagine that with 7600k....

    It always depends on what you do with your computer. Personally i work in the day with my main computer and i don't feel like having two towers so i use the same computer to play games too. I build big projects and run VMs. Pretty much always have many applications opened at the same time on 2 screens (ultra widescreen 3k and a 2k one). For me in 2021 it's pretty much a minimum of 32GB of ram and 8 cores. I'll probably upgrade to a 5800x when i'll be able to buy one at retail price. But yeah for gaming only no point to upgrade the cpu outside of when you build a new system unless you're a pro gamer and require 144+ fps at all time.

    I do that with my measly 1600 AF and it doesn't break a sweat.
