[@johncampbell4084]

Things to note. i3 4 cores is limiting and shows in the .1% lows and high/low frame drops. Both CPUs are locked at base frequency. The i3 is impressive architecturally but the 8700k at boost frequency or OC'd 4.7 to 5ghz on all cores is less of a bottleneck. Currently run a delidded 8700k with a 3080 10gb and 10gb is more of a bottle neck at 2k and 4k than the CPU. obvs a 5600x or any of the newer Intel 6 cores would mopp the floor but ppl are selling off used gaming rigs at rock bottom prices so good deals can be found locally

Did we watch the same video? The frame time graphs look almost identical. If the i3 12100 is limited by the 4 cores than what about the i7 8700 being on PCIe 3.0 (vs 5.0), and only having 256kB of L2 cache per core (vs 1.25MB).

Also who are you? Why so butt hurt about a 4 core processor... It's still a 4 core processor no matter how many threads it's got. It's max locked speed is 4.3ghz on turbo boost.

Whilst the i3 performance is really good, keep in mind the CPU usage percentage. When doing nothing but playing a game, the performance between these 2 chips are very close, but if you want to do any kind of multi tasking, like gaming on one monitor and social media/internet tabs on the other screen, you'll start to see performance degrade sooner on the i3 because it has less cores. The more cores, the better it will be at maintaining performance whilst multi tasking

[@otozinclus3593]

The performance loss in minimal, as social media and brosers and etc. barely need any performance. It will be a 5% difference maybe. Dont get me wrong, 6cores is what I would recommend nowdays, as a 5600 only costs a few bucks more for way more performance, so the i3 id a stupid idea unless you are on a very thight budget, but the difference isnt as big as you think

[@gelotress479]

I think it is also worth noting that single core performance here still matters. Single threaded applications will still benefit from recent improvements (IPC, cache, etc.) that contribute to better single core performance. It is not always just a number of core count battle. But of course core count still does matter, just not only. For example games nowadays lack the optimization that I think are enforced during the early days, as devs then had less to work with. Today, I've had my fair share of single threaded heavy games that just makes my other cores close to being worthless.

What I mean is that this i7 8700K is not using all his power, its more than capable to make more FPS than the video shows (probably in all games tested). And both processors are similar, the 8086K is just an overclocked version of the 8700, but they have the same specs. And about the workload, to give equal conditions, I've 1st tested with only main softs open, as Steam/Rockstar, MSI and GTA. Later I did with chrome to compare the FPS with the one in the video.

OMG, thnx AMD for competition However my 8700k used to work on 4800 all cores

Something is wrong, an avg of 50~70w may be causing the frequencies to work under the turbo freq... My 8086K goes over 100w with no effort and works almost 100% of time at 5GHz while gaming.

[@mikhailchurakov]

you can easily overclock i7-8700k to 5ghz and no need to upgrade)

[@m8x425]

I have an i7-8086k and an 8700k and both can hit 5.2ghz, but I had an i5-8600k which could only hit 5.0ghz with 1.31v. According to Silicon Lottery, the worst 8700k's can only do 4.9ghz but a Silicon Lottery winning 8700k/8086k can hit 5.3ghz. Also, tweaking the Uncore helps a lot more than what people think it will.

[@TapesNstuffS]

Wow, that i3 is really humbling the i7. Imagine that: what was a top chip is about on par with a much cheaper, almost entry level model.

So I need to upgrade my motherboard and CPU at a cost of around $500, and all the time and work to do it, and hope that there's no faults or other hardware or software problems from the swap. For a few FPS more? Worst upgrade ever.

[@jonathonschott]

So the 8700k is still holding its own. Better frame times for the most part due to the 4 extra threads. Also, 4.3 fhz seems low for the 8700k, I don't remember stock specs for it, which might explain why you have it there, but with adequate cooling most 8700k's could easily get upto or near 5.0 easy. Case in point intels first special edition chip of recent release, the 8086k anniversary edition, was sold as a 5.0 chip. Granted, that was also a binned piece of silicon so results may vary for the retail version but adding 400-600 mhz to the 8700k was not uncommon. I am impressed to see what intel has done in only 2 architectures, as 6,7,8,9, and 10 were essentially the same before they backported 11th gen. They pretty much added 1/2 a cores worth of performance if a quad core can hold its own with a hexa core. Thank you amd for the competition.

[@Turican76]

No. 12100 is a low budget model

[@m8x425]

The 8700k runs at 4.3ghz stock, across all cores. Some z370 and z390 boards have a BIOS option called MCE (Multi-Core Enhancement) which will clock the 8700k up to 4.7ghz across all cores. It's usually not worth enabling MCE because it sets the core voltage too high, you're just better off manually overclocking it at this point. Any 8700k can run at 4.7ghz stable with 1.2v to 1.25v..... and a fair amount of them can clock to 5.0ghz with 1.3v. Although at 5.0ghz, you might run into some thermal issues, even with a good cooler, because Intel used Thermal Paste between the IHS and CPU die.
