Upgrade from i5-9600k?

[SyedHamed]

I'm planning to wait for the new am5 socket, so not gonna get a new setup asap.
Currently my 9600k is pretty good but do really miss the hyperthreading boost.

Is getting a i7-8700k a good move?

Only if you find it for a good price, usually the 9700K or KF is cheaper (and you can forget about the used market). What country are you getting it in?

Bangladesh. Things are a little bit expensive around here. like a 250$ part goes for 300$
The 9700k has hyperthreading desabled and the 9900k is a waste of my savings from my am5 build

As someone who has a 8700k, you're better off just waiting with your current cpu. For gaming you won't see any significant improvement.

I have a 9600k, planning to get a 8700k for the smt cause I don't game at all. All I do is code and cad works, fluid simulations

I'd maybe aim to find an 8700. They're in tons of prebuilts so they're more common if you're looking on the used market.

I currently have a 9600K and use it for Photogrammetry and bridge load calculations.  I use ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and Microstation...  I'm thinking of going the AMD route...  So many choices!

What type of processor are you aiming for with AM5 ? How many cores/threads ?

 

I assume you have a Z390 board today, Which model of motherboard to you have ? Decent VRMs on your board ?

One thing that could be a motivation to buy the 9900k is that your won't need to upgrade your motherboard which would save you about 200-400eur (depending on mobo ofc).

At least 12c/24t with AM5.
I currently have a Asus Strix Z390-F motherboard. 
In his time, if you consider the performance per watt ratio of the 9900k with it's price (new or even used) including thermals, saving up for AMD is the best choice.
