8086k vs 9700k?

[mxk]

Heyo forums,

 

I'm was planning on getting the 9700k from my dad's friend who works for Intel, but it's not currently in stock since Intel has trouble with 14nm all the time and such. I've been waiting for the 9700k to go into stock, but the guy just emailed me saying the 8080k is in stock for around the same price. Is there going to be much difference in performance between the 8086k and 9700k? I know the 8080k has a higher bin but the 9700k has two more cores, so that's why I'm curious. 

 

I'm playing csgo, gta v, call of duty, some fortnite, and editing videos all at 1080p 144hz with a GTX 1070 Ti.

 

Thanks!

i mean 8086K is 6c/12t cause it has hyper threading and the 9700K is 8 cores without hyper-threading so 8 threads total...

In some situation the 8086K might do a bit better and in some others the 9700K will do a bit better but they are very similar overall in performance so i would go with wichever happen to be available honestly.

The 9700k and 8086k are both designed for the same thing: moar overclock. 12 threads vs 8 and the difference being hyperthreading will affect multitasking and productivity, but gaming wise you can expect very similar performance.

Then again, you're not exactly missing much by getting an 8700k instead.

8086k it is, thanks guys.

8086k easier to delid also

 

And I feel is more versatile

Yeah I was probably going to delid it once I get a tool for it. It's still going to run hot with my 280mm AIO..

They are two very similar CPUs.

Both are from the same Coffee Lake microarchitecture, so they will have the same single threaded performance.

Multithreaded performance : 9700K has 33% more cores (6 vs 8 ) but on the other hand 8086K has hyperthreading which usually gave about 30% more performance (so they are very close each other).

 

The 8086K is probably more fun to overclock and has more potential in that area since it's binned while the 9700K is probably not (I would say best samples goes for the 9900K and less capable ones have HT disabled and are sold as 9700K).

In your place I would get the 8086K, especially at 1080p or even 1440p gaming, having 12 threads is going to benefit more than having 2 more actual cores in most instances that need more cpu power, and the 8086K will probably clock better as well.
