Title: Hardware: i9 9900k vs i7 9700k
Post by: Super_Saffer on February 27, 2022, 07:52:31 PM

Hi all,

I have the opportunity to upgrade my CPU, and I'm wondering if it's worth it.  Would it be worth it to upgrade from a i7 9700K CPU to a i9 9700K? 

My specs are as follows:
AORUS Z390 mobo
i7 9700K CPU
Gigabyte 3070 TI GPU (just upgraded from a 2070 Super)
32GB Ram
2 x 2TB m.2 SSD

I want to get the most out of this system before I upgrade the entire thing. I can get a used 9700K for around $300, and I'm wondering if it's worth the upgrade. I've looked extensively ant the Puget Systems pages for comparisons, and the i9 9900k looks to be maybe 20% faster at most...but the newer CPU's from Intel and AMD seems to perform a LOT better than the 900 series from Intel.

Thoughts?

9900k is the same chip as 9700k, but with HyperThreading(gives you ~ +28-30%).
New INTEL or AMD is better choice if money is not problem.
