Is 9th generation cpus worth it?

[charbel1011]

If i wanna upgrade my i7 8700k to 9900k is it worth it?

[GoldenLag]

Nope, not at all. Nothing to gain, unless you do a LOT of rendering.

Are you just gaming on your PC or using it for real productivity?

[wildgg]

asking if something is worth it is really up to you

 

if you have money to throw at it sure

if you don't have money for that upgrade then don't

 

also do you need the upgrade? what are you using the pc for ettcetc

[mxk]

Not in your case. really only justified by people like me who are still on Piledriver/old stuff.

like @GoldenLag said unless you're doing a bunch of rendering its not worth it.

Yes if you're rich and have no reason to save money

Even if you do a bunch if rendering it's not worth it. It runs hot and throttles itself if you don't buy a z390 board with better vrm.

true true. Oh intel... "9th gen" bullshit

It would be a very expensive upgrade that delivered a very minor improvement in very specific circumstances.

 

Not worth it.

[dizmo]

Nope.
