Intel in 2018

How many of these reviews are using engineering samples versus the retail box processor?
Just pondering, as I know Leo on kitguru says theirs was a sample.

Any specific charts for 1440p and 4k gaming results versus 8700 and 2700X?
Most of the reviews are concentrating on 1080, as one might expect.

Unfortunately seems Intel "benchmark" guiding has to promote 1080p.....
But here is with 2080Ti with 2560x1440.

Except far cry 5, there is no difference at 2560x1440 and won't be any with lesser cards (2080/1080Ti/Vega) even on that game.
Also consider stock 2700X runs at 4Ghz. It can get another 15%-17% with better ram and OC to 4.3.

Hardware unboxed video includes 4K with 2080Ti. there is 0 difference there.
Also compares the performance of the 9900K all core overclocked to 5.1. Only 1 game show perf increase over, Hitman at 1080p.
All other games were the same as at stock speeds.

So as @ToonarmY87 said, a well tuned 2700X with 3200C14 ran at 4.3 won't lack at 2560x1440 or higher, possibly not a single fps even with the 2080Ti.
Let alone more common cards like 1070/1070Ti/1080/1080Ti/Vega let alone RX580s/1060s.
 
Honestly what is the 9600k? all the reviews i have seen (gaming wise) is within 1 fps of the 8600k :D its just a 8600k with solder instead of white toothpaste and they want us to pay for that luxury :D
