i7 or i9 for gaming?

[Octavialicious]

Title. Are games using hyperthreading yet? I want this CPU to last me several years, so is it worth bothering to get the i9? Or does it make no difference

they do use more than 4 cores noadays i think but the question is 

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i9-9900K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-9700K/4028vs4030

even more multitasking for $100 more or not

otherwise theyre the exact same cpu at 8/8 cores

i7. Even Heavy cpu games like BF5 works fine with 4c/8t. Speaking of longetivity. Every years it would be outdated. Just get the i7 or

Equivalent. There are no need above i7

Your i5 9400f is perfectly fine for gaming.

 

If you want more cores just get an R7 2700 or 3700X

 

depending on the game you may see a more stable frame rate with more cores/threads. Like there will be fewer or lower fps drops compared to a pure 4 core or 6 core.

Depends on you’re expectations. 

 

I kinda wanted to get the 9700k but people say the 8700k was close enough. 

 

All that tells me know was I should have got the 8086k or 9900k. Didn’t wonna wait or buy one of the boards that were available at the time. 

 

Everyones definition of fine is different.
