That is so funny and exactly what my cpu does when playing simulators. The only problem now is that when I look at the onscreen display and see what my cpu is doing I am going to think of that and will probably crash due to thinking of that gif.

Yes, I expect it.

What workloads do you expect to benefit from hyperthreading by more 33%? Especially outside of a synthetic benchmark test.

Also, don't forget about the larger cache in i7 vs i5. So, 8600K + 2 cores + Mhz + 3MB cache.

Alleged i9-9900K 3DMark benchmark:

In terms of performance, the chip scored 10,719 points in the CPU specific run and an overall score of 9725 points with a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. The chip was tested on the ASUS Z370-F STRIX Gaming motherboard which confirms backward compatibility on the existing 300-series motherboards while being supported by the upcoming Z390 motherboards. Comparing the CPU score to other flagship mainstream CPUs, we see the 9900K to be clearly ahead by a lead of 1500 points over AMD’s Ryzen 7 2700X and 2500 points over the Intel Core i7-8700K.

Looks impressive.

Unsure whether to get one though, because i fear the next gen stuff on smaller dies (like Zen 2/ Ryzen 3XXX series) will be an even bigger step forward.

I guess if my z370 board will take one and you get a good deal on one, it might be worth an upgrade.

That is the engineering sample with 3.1GHz base clock so retail CPU with 3.6GHz base will see overall score higher than 9725 3DMark.

It was reporting a boost of up to 5GHz though, so was probably running somewhere in between.

Price tag on this should be funny to say the least.

I'd take that with a pinch of salt, 3dmark routinely gets clock speeds wrong. I used it the other night and it told me the max clock my 2700x got to was 4.7ghz. And its running at stock.

Chaos666 · 28 Jul 2018 at 21:00

yeah but 3dmark is usually quite accurate with intel :>

"...upcoming Z390 motherboards..."

What, the boards that don't exist?

Last thing I heard Z390 wasn't happening because 10nm doesn't work, so Z390's functionality was replicated with 3rd party controllers but the core was staying the same and being labelled "Z370 refresh".

It's not even accurate with video cards, it reports weird clock speeds on both my titan and vega. My 6700k also at one point according to 3dmark was at 5ghz despite the fact it's only been at 4.6 tops.

Chaos666 · 28 Jul 2018 at 21:38

we just have to wait until they show actual specs.... I really can't see that 5ghz happening on that 8core cpu .... 1 core @5ghz in light loads maybe... but still highly unlikely

Well that's assuming intel don't bundle it with their nuclear power plant cooler they used on that 28 core chip.

Aye, all for the low low price of £2000!

I guess we're going to be hearing about the 4.5Ghz Ryzen 2800X pretty soon now, if those 9900K benchmark scores are legit..

The 2800x could make an appearance but it's not realistically going to be better than what the top ~10% of 2700x can reach when overclocked, so I doubt it would be able to reach 4.5ghz on all cores. I just pulled those figures out of thin air so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt

Chaos666 · 29 Jul 2018 at 14:33

it really seems like ryzen architecture right now caps out around 4.3Ghz
