nothing wrong with buying the 8700. if it's cheaper, it's a better call.

Posted

It's been a while since I have been here. But I am back because I'm in a dire situation. 

I can't decide which one to get. I know that I7-8700 has 6 cores and 12 threads. And on the other hand I7-9700 has 8c/8th.

I don't intend on buying AMD because I have already bought parts for 8th and 9th gen cpus.

Problem is that 9th gen cpus in my country are currently out of stock and their prices are inflated so high that i7-9700 (non-k) costs $87 more than a i7-9700k. Whereas I7-8700 costs around $345.

 

So the question is would I benefit more from 9th gen i7 cpu or just don't bother with it and get an i7-8700?

Main purpose is gaming and streaming from time to time.

 

Rig: CPU:??? 

RAM: 16gb 2666mhz

Mobo: b365m gigabyte aorus

Cooler: cooler master hyper 212 Black edition 

PSU: 550W 80+ bronze. 

 

Thanks in advance,

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I have another question. In your honest opinion, would you get an i7-9700f or just stick to i7-8700?

I'd get the 8700 over the 9700f.

 

Ultimately similar performance within margin of error, and the 8700 has integrated graphics, and cheaper.

 

Also, less embarrassing than the 9700 being the only i7 in a decade without hyperthreading.

Yeah I've seen the difference between I7-8700 and 9700. About 7% but I couldn't decided wether it's better to have 2 additional cores or just have 6c/12th. But I guess getting i7-8700 is not that bad since Intel has nothing interesting in an upcoming year... (sadly)

7% is pushing it. It's even more marginal than that
