@@allxtend4005 In gaming my 8700k wasnt that powerhungry, probably uses a little bit more than my current 7800x3d but that's kind of expected seeing as my 8700k was overclocked and my 7800x3d isnt. It was only powerhungry once you start overclocking it. At stock it would probably use a little bit more than a 3600 while also performing a little bit better. I rarely saw it go over 100 watts even with a OC, Mostly around 60-80 unless you put it under a full stress load.

Are AMD rehashing the same old architecture over and over again and using marginal gains from node changes in order to justify it? Or do you think that just because core counts are the same between Zen 1, 2, 3, and 4, they're the same thing despite the fact that Zen 2 was a true chiplet design, Zen 3 unified the cache between the core complexes.

Ended up replacing Coffeelake entirely with a 7900X3D. It's over twice as fast as the 8700K and 9900K were. Still, if it weren't for emulators the 8700K would have stayed a few more years.

The 8700K and 8086K were some of the best hexa-cores Intel ever made, multi core performance is a bit lacking but single core was still substantially faster than Ryzen at the time. AMD didn’t quite close the gap until the release of the 3600X, and even then it’s a close call. I remember really wanting to get an 8700K around the time I got a R5 2600, but it wouldn’t have made much of a difference since I was using an RX 580 at that time anyway. I feel like most people still using Coffee Lake i5s or better definitely got their money’s worth, though now with 14th gen SKUs on the horizon, the decision to upgrade will yield a much higher improvement in single & multi core performance

@@josephdias3968 true, but even if single core is only like 10-15% better at best from 12th to 14th gen, the multicore performance has improved considerably. A 12700K was 8P + 4E (12c/20t), whereas the 14700K will be 8P + 12E (20c/28t) with better stock speeds & OC potential. Back in 8th gen, getting just 2 extra cores WAS the upgrade since i7s were 4c/8t the entire time beforehand. I’m not saying that extra cores should be the only reason someone should upgrade, just that as of now the jump from an 8700K to 14700K would add 14 total cores (or 16 threads) which is kinda insane tbh

6:54 That problem is as old as the game itself. Almost all replays become corrupt after a game update. You can however, start a new match and replace the replay file of that match with the one you want to benchmark. This will work for only one replay and the game must be running while you do this or it won't load the replay. For example, if the corrupt replay file is called "Replay1234" and the newly created file is called "Replay5". What you'll do is open the replay folder make a copy of "Replay5" Rename "Replay1234" to "Replay5" Load "Replay5" from the list.

Sooo the X platform graph at 2:13 is a bit misleading. Because if we looked at Core processors available to them the X58 capped out at 6 cores and so did the X79 platform with the 4960X which was also 6 cores. When it comes to X99 the highest end CPU that was available was the 5960X with 8 cores that was later replaced with a 10 core 6950X. The X299 is again correct when looking at available Core Processors (btw imo this platform was horrendous and i regret every waking moment i chose it over the 8700K)

My roommate got his hands on an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X brand new in 2017 in a giveaway. He bought a motherboard and 16GB of G.Skill 3600MHz DDR4 RAM, a Zotac GTX 1070 and a few other bits, I bought his Intel Core i5 3570K and Radeon R9 290 machine from him. At one point he was updating BIOS every few days. By the time I got my hands on the that machine, he upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3950X and RTX 2080 Super. TL;DR: When the BIOS was good and figured out on the early Ryzen processors, they were great bang for the buck. I now have a Ryzen 5 5600X feeding my roommate's old RTX 2080 Super, and I am EXTREMELY happy with the performance of my machine, all on one socket.... Yes, I am currently still locked in at PCI-E Gen. 3, but that is fine, I am happy with the performance of my machine in my most demanding of games and the visuals, without cheating by using gimmicks like FSR or DLSS, and RT really doesn't mean much to me still. I am blown away what AMD has done with a single socket and how much they lit a fire under Intel again after so long.

I still have an 15-8600k OC'ed to 5ghz. I went for the i5 because at the time some of the games I was playing (mainly Bethesda games) had issues with hyper threading and it was recommended to disable that at the BIOS if your CPU had it, so it made more sense to me to get the cheaper i5 CPU that doesn't have hyper threading out of the box.

Remember when Intel released the Core i7 7740X three months before the i7 8700K. The former was literally an i7 7700K with a 100MHz clock increase, but on an HEDT platform despite not supporting any HEDT features (dual channel memory only, 16 PCIe lanes only, and even no iGPU). Imagine how pissed you'd have been had you bought that CPU/platform.

In my living room, I put my desktop there that still rocks connected to my 70 inch Samsung TV. MY desktop hosts my i7 8700k with my Nvidia 1080 Ti, 2 TB SSD, and 64 Gigs of ram. And with Nvidia's upscale update on their older GPUs I can still run every game old and new at min 60 fps and up to 100 plus fps at 1440p. I love this desktop and will never get rid of it. In my work room, I have the i7 13th series and an Nvidia 3080, 2 TB SSD, and 32 gigs of rams. AND, I'm pretty satisfied with it although I wanted the 3080 Ti but at the time I couldn't find any. Now this desktop runs everything extremely well.

Still running my 8700k in my gaming rig and i don’t really feel pressed to upgrade just yet. Definately saving and thinking about it, but slowly. With frame generation these days you can sqeeze a ton more frames out of older or lower tier tech. Lossless scaling on steam, it’s 6 bucks, works on anything, and you can double your frames in most cases. It’s not a silver bullet but I’m playing Helldivers 2 at 1440p, high settings, at ~90-130 fps (depending on the chaos). 2080 super, 32gigs ram (can’t remember speed). If you get it make sure you look up setup guides. You can’t just turn it on unless some minor settings are changed. Edit: Was getting 60-70fps prior.

I didn't get the 5th through 9th gen intel cpu's. I couldn't afford them. I was rocking a 4th gen non overclockable i5 back then coupled with a 1060. It was a rock solid performer for the time. Played every game I threw at it. I had finally made the upgrade to AMD with second gen Ryzen. That was a game changer. I didn't need it but I wanted to support AMD's cpu platform. These days I am rocking a i9 12900k with 4070. I don't see a reason to upgrade for quite some time.

Okay, so regarding the context here, this is one of my favorite CPUs, not going to lie; I still root for it to this day. If you can find a decent deal used, go ahead. However, it is superseded by its younger, less core-heavy cousins, such as the i3 12100. So, if you're browsing for something newer, that seems to be the one, or the AMD cousin, Ryzen 5 5600, which is somewhat similar in price and sometimes outperforms it. This is if you want something more core-heavy but newer that still packs a punch, or the i5 12400. But the 8700k CPU will forever hold a place in my heart, nevertheless.

The real upgrade of the 8700K wasn't the extra cores, the bigger cache or the higher clock speed. The quality of the silicon is a huge improvement over the 7700K. I bought both CPU's brand new and overclocked them as hard as I could. Recently I've been benching them again. The 7700K always fluctuated wildly temperature wise even on my chiller setup. Despite hardly any use over the years it only briefly got close to the speeds it could hit in 2017. I lapped and delidded it but the CPU has degraded and will never bench at it's 5.2ghz clock speed as it once did. The 8700K was in use in my daily gaming PC for 5 years solid. Despite thousands of hours of use it still hit the same clocks as it could in 2018, temperatures are much more stable and it will bench at 5.3ghz in some cases. It is still running the stock TIM under the heat spreader too. Both CPU's were benched on ROG Apex boards which I bought at the same time as each CPU. I will re-bench the 8700K again in a couple of years to see how well it is still holding up.

About your Testing Methods. Why not testing in 720p? In that resolution every hardware journalists test in that way the cpu with the top gpu at the time. With that way you test only the cpu and gpu limit is out of the field. Yeah 1080p and 1440p is closer for the normal user but for real comparison 720p is better. I know all your tests are in the two resolutions. It would be nice to have a extra category in 720p for every cpu and the same gpu in all tests. Keep up the great work! Love your videos! That are only some thoughts from me

I like that this video touches upon the Intel sandy bridge dominance era with AMD only having AM3/AM3+. Most people on here relegate that to old history at this point or disregard it entirely since they were in elementary school at the time. MOAR CORES was all we could get back then, and games still being 360 ports meant that you only needed a processor with a strong single core so most people only need dual or quad cores for games, 4c 8t and beyond was basically overkill.
