11600

[Internet Swag]

I typed in 11600 vs 12400 on userbenchmark and it says they're the same.

I don't think this is accurate information?

What do you think

Userbenchmark is not a reiliable nor accurate website. I would block it and just never use it.

 

They are Quite different, and performance will be quite different. Are they leagues apart? No, but the 12400 should be a fair bit better in most tasks.

Why would anything be wrong? A small generational improvement where a 400 is now on par with a last generation 600. It's always like that. Exactly how a newer lower spec 3070TI beats a previous generation higher tiered replacement such as the 2080S.

the 12400 is about 5% faster thats it. Nothing unusual there

Ok so basically I'm trying to upgrade from 8700

 

Is the 12400 enough?

The 12400 is quite a bit faster than an 8700 if comparing to the same clock speed.

 

I went from an 8700K to 12400F and went with a B660-G to OC the 12400F. 

 

4.7 vs 4.7ghz the 12400F brought 500 extra points to 3DMark Firesteike using a GTX 980 KPE as the video card. 

 

CSGO brought nearly 100 extra fps to the table.

 

The down draw is running ddr5 which can be expensive, but 13th gen will be supported and get a good boost from ddr5. So you at least have upgrade path as well.

 

My experience so far has been good. No it's not a blazing fast cpu at stock, but then again it's a low end i5 not an i9. 

 

Worth the money. The ddr5 kit I got was 2x8gb to help keep the cost down on the build. 

 

Cpu ram and board was roughly 575$ all together.

It depends. Even if gains are as stated above, does it matter? CSGO might get 100 more fps, but if you're already getting over your monitor's refresh it probably is mostly meaningless anyway.

 

Unless it's not doing what you want it to do, don't bother.

 

I'm on a 10900k (which although has more cache and frequency, is the same IPC as the 8700) and I don't even know if a high end Raptor Lake is going to be a meaningful upgrade.

 

I'd only really consider upgrading if I was on an Intel quad core/8th or 9th gen i5, or 2nd gen ryzen or older

Keep the 8700 not worth the upgrade money

I did keep the 8700. Not sure why, it's worth some moneys. Probably recoup my own losses,  but for now it's still in the case, for just in case.

 

It was/is worth the upgrade. 

 

But above I seen suggested upgrade to older gen Rryzen, would be a down grade. 5600x would be the only upgrade from an 8700 cause it's faste than all the other Ryzen gen chips.

The thing is a 8700 is only at most 30% behind in single core and only 20% in multi core loads.

 

So basically unless op needs to go 200fps+ and has a baller gpu that can do that at their res of 4k that i7 is more than fine. Its not holding back a 3080 especially at 4k
