let's be honest the CPU market has been fairly stable these last few years with minor but gradual improvements over time in fact some of you guys are still gaming happily on your fourth third or maybe even second generation Intel CPUs from a few years ago with the extra competition from AMD's rise in CPUs this year which have been a large success Intel have completely restructured their desktop CPU lineup and have brought us something very
interesting this time around enter coffee wake Intel's eighth generation desktop CPUs which are a considerable leap forward when compared to the previous generation for a number of reasons but by far the most significant one is that we are actually getting extra physical processing caused across the board we're still working with the 14 nanometer lithography but you'd be mistaken for thinking maser just slightly improved cable eight chips the i3 chips are now bumped up to 4 physical cores instead of the previous two cores with hyper-threading and
the i5 and i7 cpus now also feature two extra cause also this is extremely significant for gamers who were otherwise limited by the lower core count on previous generation CPUs as for cores can easily be maxed out in today's games we're also getting significantly less parts in the lineup this time around only 6 processors now at least in this initial launch and this may be an indication of Intel's efforts to meet a time constraint today we're going to be taking a look at the new unlocked eye 5 chip the eye 580 600 K now as we saw previously this is a 6 core processor
without hyper threading enabled with a base clock speed of 3 point 6 gigahertz and a boost clock speed of 4.3 gigahertz that may sound low to some of you but don't worry because this thing is an overclocking Beast which we'll take a look at in just a little bit despite the extra to cause the TVP has barely increased from last generations at 7600 K and this proved itself during temperature testing which we'll talk about in depth as well pricing needs to remain
fairly competitive with AMD's risin 5 and 7 line up and so the i5 8600 k will likely hit the shelves just under that mark something that's a bit confusing at first glance is that we're still sliding into the same LGA 1151 socket but we have an entirely new chipset now it's been confirmed that the reason for this is that despite the same socket we're actually getting different wiring to the pins specifically some pins that were otherwise
reserved on Kubelik are now being utilized as power and ground pins and so backwards compatibility is completely out of the question now said 370 is the only chipset that is currently compatible with these eighth generation CPUs and since this chipset is overclockable and that we are paying a premium for that on these boards I'd highly recommend that you skip the locked non-case q processors for now and stick with the overclockable 8350 k 8600 k or 8700 k
for now don't worry though h3 10 and B 360 motherboards are just around the corner and they should be both great budget options the 8600 K makes perfect sense right now though so let's take a closer look at just how far we're able to take those clock speeds as I mentioned previously the 8600 K has a boost clock of 4.3 gigahertz but this processor is capable of so much more hitting 5 gigahertz on this chip is an absolute walk in the park and I managed to take this
one all the way up to five point three gigahertz at one point three eight volts Cinebench r15 ran fine at 5.3 gigahertz and I also stress tested in I to 64 for over 20 minutes as well the only benchmark that did crash it was a dopamine II encoder where the system would crash about halfway through and for that reason I'll be doing all of the over clocks benchmarks set to 5.2 gigahertz which was stable at 1.32 volts now I know what you're thinking 5.3 gigahertz are you serious if cabe you lake was anything to go off your system must have been on fire but I'm
happy to report that this wasn't exactly the case with a 240 millimeter liquid all-in-one cooler the 8600 K averaged 82 degrees C in I 264 with the room temperature at 23 degrees now 82 degrees for the CPU is still quite hot don't get me wrong but remember this is at five point three gigahertz and so for a daily overclock of five to five point one gigahertz you'd see those load temps sit around 72 70 five in a similar environment dear wedding isn't really necessary if you
want to run this CPU around the five gigahertz mark a 240 millimeter liquid all-in-one cooler will do the job just fine alright enough of that let's get into the benchmarks the test system isn't as powerful as would be ideal for this type of testing but it's certainly enough to demonstrate the overall performance of this chip as I mentioned previously I'll be including both these stock benchmarks and also overclocked benchmarks at five point two gigahertz starting off with our
synthetic benchmarks and he were taking a look at the multi-threading performance specifically in rendering when I first saw what the 8600 could do at stock clock speeds I was absolutely blown away to say the least here we're getting an i-5 which is surpassing the previous generation flagship i7 7700 K the processor that I've been using as a daily driver for the last several months when taken up to five point two and five point three gigahertz the 8600 K has
no problem at all posting scores around the 1,300 mark the multi-threading performance on this chip is really exciting when restricting the test to a single thread it's evidence that there hasn't been many improvements in instructions per clock from seventh gen to 8th gen at stop clock speed it's it's right about its predecessor these 7600 K but of course again we can get very impressive single-threaded performance from overclocking now this is the benchmark that excites me the most as a content creator as the Adobe suite is where I spend most of my time
here we're encoding a ten-minute shadowplay clip using the h.264 encoding algorithm and the faster the processor can encode the footage the better even at stock clock speeds the 8600 K is virtually matching my overclocked i7 chip and once taken up to 5.2 gigahertz we're getting over a 20% improvement now I know a lot of you are probably thinking so what it exports the video to minutes faster big deal but this benchmark is a great indicator of how the CPU will perform in the Adobe suite as a whole so in addition to the faster encoding times you can expect a
smoother video playback and faster processing of video effects taking a look at file compression and decompression now using 7-zip and 8600 K does really well here to remember guys this is an i5 chip which will be released almost cheaper than the 7700 K was at the start of the year if that's not exciting for consumers and I don't know what is okay but what about gaming starting off with player unknowns battlegrounds and these results are very exciting indeed it looks like we officially have a contender for the best gaming CPU today something to finally
take down these 7700 K the extra clock speed is definitely helping it get that edge we're getting both tired of performance in the lowest framerate but also in average as well of course these results would be much more dramatic in higher FPS ranges GTA 5 shows us again that games love higher clock speeds we're using the built-in benchmark here with all settings set to max except for the AAA settings which would turn down one notch even in the very CPU intensive areas of the benchmark the 8600 K had no problem maintaining its framerate games that are
primarily GPU bound are not going to show massive differences at all when testing a variety of CPUs and witcher 3 is a great example of this but still we're getting tired of bottom end performance from that extra core count and higher averages thanks to that insane clock speed battlefield 1 is fairly CPU intensive though and I expected the i5 8600 K to do pretty well here too however I was surprised to see that these 7700 K actually gives tighter performance overall and this may be because the game is really utilizing those extra threads on the i7 almost as well
as physical cores still though the 8600 k happily tops the chart with an impressive result at 122 fps an example of a game that prefers better single-threaded performance though is Far Cry primal and that 5.2 gigahertz you'd expect nothing less than the top result so I think it's safe to say that Intel's moved to a higher core count across the board was a good idea indeed and this was the main reason that many of us have been choosing an AMD Rison CPU such as the r5 1600 over the previous gen I 5 s the 4 cores for gaming has been really stretched for way too
long and it's so nice to finally see a shift to six cores for mainstream products the overclocking performance on these coffee-like CPUs is really the best so far 5 gigahertz is really a walk in the park and calling isn't too much of an issue either for gaming this seems like the perfect CPU right now and although I haven't checked out the flagship model the 8700 K I don't expect that we'd be able to fully utilize all 12 threads and so you might be better off saving that
and putting it elsewhere in your build and so the eighty-six hundred K is a very exciting product and not just the 8600 k but the entire coffee lake launch as a whole it's a significant leap forward and a very exciting choice if you're building a PC today let me know what you guys think about intel's eighth generation desktop CPUs in the comment section below and as always I'll have all the links in the description where you can check them out.
haven't tested it yet a really nice viewer of the channel a guy actually bought this case off of back here for my rise and apparently likes him text me a couple weeks later hey buddy I got a bunch of stuff you could check out apparently he built a couple systems or parts for a couple systems just to try them out because that's the thing but much to my benefit cuz he's like hey I got a silverstone case rlo 6 you can check out apparently
nice case a couple things you can come over to my house and just check them out we'll see if you want to review any of them or whatever so I show up there and coffee like eighty six hundred six core Core i5 to test we got some boom teen group memory 3200 speed probably the coolest RGB memory I've ever seen and it matches the motherboard which is the gigabyte a horas third time I've been you know being using this thing I got one of them in my my Rison Vil
behind me the ARS gaming seven its X 370 well this is Z 370 we're in Canada we say Zed anyways uh uh we got an a data m2 SSD 850 watt power supply the corsair h 100 IV to which we just reviewed links right here uh just some case fans just everything we need but a GPU to test but I'm fine with that is what we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead and fire my 980ti which I just reviewed on this guy's like I guess steps stepbrother core i7 77 40 X the core 8
thread the most useful CPU ever I didn't buy it anyways I have the data for that I want to see is coffee like any better is six physical cores better than eight theoretical or four or theoretical or whatever for threads in addition to 4-quart eight threads in total item yeah we're gonna test it out we're overclock the snot out of this because that's what we do here on this channel and I was given permission do a little system build and it should be fun and I'm really really diggin the orange and black theme so cue up some sexy build vlog video whatever we'll put her all
together to some fancy music like I always do overclock the snot out of it and just have a grand old time here on the site just to set a new system build haven't done that well I guess I have done that sort of recently but a completely new platform that I haven't played with yet should be fun so instead of hauling this core i5 8600 K I'm gonna put it in the motherboard
so I don't break it cue it up to me Joe let's get this cool song yeah that's a cool song get that cool song started and we'll do a brand new coffee like build and watch out for the temps ,we got the system all built she's beautiful I love it like this whole little system here actually this is a perfect
gaming PC in 2018 if you don't do anything else and you just maybe do a little bit of streaming do a little bit of whatever this is a very attractive platform it performs freakin awesome and had this been KB like the six cores and the six cores with hyper-threading to equal 12 threads and the i3 being four cores I had that been KB like Rison wouldn't have gained attraction that it's it but Intel was stagnant and they were just putting the same thing out over and over again I have a KB like chip this core i5 performs it better than my KB like X and we'll see that let's go
ahead and check out the performance but real quick stunning little PC this case offers ridiculously good airflow we'll get into in a second lots of RGB and crap inside but it's understated until the lights go out and then you have a little bit of a it's a really dark panel so you have a little bit of light show but it's all self-contained little RGB literally RG red green blue fans in the front they're not like addressable or anything like that they're just colored fans
and I worked with what I had and the 980ti works out perfectly in a very nice little gaming PC so cinema ch you're probably looking for a little result here let's run it 5.2 gigahertz six-course it's it's pretty astounding no D lid I had to deal it'd well I could do it with my mic a bit like a strip but yeah you know what this is a kind of the same deal I would delayed this if this was my personal CPU because it would probably do 5.3 no problem 5.4 but with the 1.4 3 volts pretty
high this h100 self-contained very very good to 1288 I've seen closer to I was hoping to hit 1300 but it's a little bit yeah here well we'll see how she runs and then we'll check out the thermals because I'm sure he'd be interested in that really nice big AIO on this thing and it's keeping everything nice and cool in there and yeah I really like this case it just blows air right through the rad and you know if you had an air cooler and there might be a different story
because there's a lot of openness up here but yeah let's see here oh man 1294 so close let's just we'll open up hardware monitor we'll run it one more time just to kind of see where the the temps are at because people will be interested now I would run this at 5 gigahertz all day long we see here the temperatures are very contained actually we might get up into the 70s but a 5.2 gigahertz the other things are getting warm in here and although this is a very good motherboard and it will handle it all right I would personally rather have a top 5 gigahertz and
how about like 1280 Cinebench score and you know maybe 1250 and still be beating my K be like X in an extreme situation my 7740 X so we see here you know we could quickly get the temperatures down but the CPU the package never went above 70 that's that's really good 70 volts some pretty high voltages though but yeah this is a pretty astounding little no hyper-threading system the six cores do very very well and six physical cores do better than 4 physical
cores eight logical cores in the 77 40 X so I'm gonna go ahead and shut this down because I don't need it anymore and it's really loud as I'm sure you'll hear it shut off but switch her back here this is my youtube video of when I can hear again we otter we had a cranked for the 5.2 gigahertz but you see doing pretty well this is my review of me overclocking the 77 40 X minus 20 in my garage at 5.6 gigahertz and the best Cinebench score I could get was 1210 around 1200 even at five point four gigahertz is aware where you typically see it so this is doing almost a
hundred points better with two less logical cores which is pretty dang amazing so oh yeah kudos to them and I really like you know until I really like Intel CPUs but I'm gonna be gaming on a CPU I like it to be Intel but if I'm gonna be video editing my Rison will beat it out because even though this has six cores the you know eight times to you know the 16 threads in my risin PC will allow me to stream video at it have to Photoshop 12,000 Chrome browsers open and still
being all Hal enough to do a couple other things and it never chugs down I think the six cores in this yeah you'd want the hyper threading if you were doing any sort of streaming or production work but it could get it done for sure you just might have to close a few things here and there or maybe in a couple years right now it's probably okay so what do we got for a price on this build well assuming you picked up a 980 TI for that's gonna be where we you know the one thing the the GPU they're very hard to find it might get better in the next couple months I'm
hopeful that a new release from Nvidia and the fact that cryptocurrency just took like another drive will will equal some GPUs out on the market but you know if we get over here 1588 52 that's the you know 200 what's for this amazing six core processor that's better than the version you know from last year the 7700 the i7 and it's just cheaper so we've we were we're go we're getting somewhere with Intel at least the you know the mid-range has become like last year's high and it's pretty good and then I've got a Corsair you know look with cooler
gigabyte motherboards expensive one 225 that insane Ram is pretty expensive for 16 gigs of it at 3200 we've got a need ATM got 2 SSD my put my card in there a silverstone redline or RL o 6 is what this is and it has an 850 watt power supply in it but it doesn't need it so if you did you know a little bit of you know used hunting and you know you even if you bought this case the case of only being 66 99 you could probably get this thing down
like with the 1980 I in it or you know maybe a 10 60 you are used like I don't know 980 or I don't know whatever you're gonna buy in a GPU department that's up to you but it's not a bad you know price to performance they're seeing as this will play you know I'm especially with a good GPU in it pretty much anything under this on a max graphics so what I did was I did some gaming benchmarks no that's one does and well we'll check out fire strike here I'm
we're always interested in fire strike so this here would be my 77 40 X the best score I've ever done with the 980ti in it and it did 18 five hundred eighteen thousand five hundred and two with a physics score of 15 951 and then we're gonna boom this is the eighty six hundred K 1600 so it is better than the i7 that's awesome that's but it's better than four cores with hyper-threading which is saying something now that's at five gigahertz I test things overclock to the nines with the highest performance that's the way it works not really sure how you know it
would work if we put them in stock but it seems like this you know does a pretty good job regardless and as long as you know you know can alter four settings in the motherboard or three settings you can get to five gigahertz fairly easy with a decent cooler probably even like just a big air cooler if I'm honest as long as you have the right case so it's doing really well there let's go ahead and check out some gaming benchmarks and all just kind of talk over them I was expecting me to have some notable difference here see here we've got Tomb Raider up on the
screen Tomb Raider is like within margin of error so is Witcher 3 so is Ghost Recon wildlands like they're pretty much identical and if I could run the exact same as I always I don't do the when I'm doing these benchmarks I always run through the same parts of games but things are gonna change a little bit here and there and who knows if Windows is running something in the background like an update or thinking about something it could change an FPS or here or two there well the fact that these are all within like three FPS and the 1% lows are pretty close as
well so coffee like if you're just a gamer man this is the CPU to get 100% and you can even do like everything else on it yeah but don't expect the future-proof Ness to last much no to too long with only six logical cores because eventually you know things will start taking advantage of the eight sixteen you know we've got throwed Ripper with 32 you know the games are gonna start taking advantage of a lot of cores so you know our programs and in the year 2020 is this gonna
be you know just as good or just as fast probably but beyond that I can't tell you .
interesting this time around enter coffee wake Intel's eighth generation desktop CPUs which are a considerable leap forward when compared to the previous generation for a number of reasons but by far the most significant one is that we are actually getting extra physical processing caused across the board we're still working with the 14 nanometer lithography but you'd be mistaken for thinking maser just slightly improved cable eight chips the i3 chips are now bumped up to 4 physical cores instead of the previous two cores with hyper-threading and

as physical cores still though the 8600 k happily tops the chart with an impressive result at 122 fps an example of a game that prefers better single-threaded performance though is Far Cry primal and that 5.2 gigahertz you'd expect nothing less than the top result so I think it's safe to say that Intel's moved to a higher core count across the board was a good idea indeed and this was the main reason that many of us have been choosing an AMD Rison CPU such as the r5 1600 over the previous gen I 5 s the 4 cores for gaming has been really stretched for way too
long and it's so nice to finally see a shift to six cores for mainstream products the overclocking performance on these coffee-like CPUs is really the best so far 5 gigahertz is really a walk in the park and calling isn't too much of an issue either for gaming this seems like the perfect CPU right now and although I haven't checked out the flagship model the 8700 K I don't expect that we'd be able to fully utilize all 12 threads and so you might be better off saving that
and putting it elsewhere in your build and so the eighty-six hundred K is a very exciting product and not just the 8600 k but the entire coffee lake launch as a whole it's a significant leap forward and a very exciting choice if you're building a PC today let me know what you guys think about intel's eighth generation desktop CPUs in the comment section below and as always I'll have all the links in the description where you can check them out.
The best details of Intel Core i5-8600K Processor 6 Cores Full review
haven't tested it yet a really nice viewer of the channel a guy actually bought this case off of back here for my rise and apparently likes him text me a couple weeks later hey buddy I got a bunch of stuff you could check out apparently he built a couple systems or parts for a couple systems just to try them out because that's the thing but much to my benefit cuz he's like hey I got a silverstone case rlo 6 you can check out apparently
nice case a couple things you can come over to my house and just check them out we'll see if you want to review any of them or whatever so I show up there and coffee like eighty six hundred six core Core i5 to test we got some boom teen group memory 3200 speed probably the coolest RGB memory I've ever seen and it matches the motherboard which is the gigabyte a horas third time I've been you know being using this thing I got one of them in my my Rison Vil
behind me the ARS gaming seven its X 370 well this is Z 370 we're in Canada we say Zed anyways uh uh we got an a data m2 SSD 850 watt power supply the corsair h 100 IV to which we just reviewed links right here uh just some case fans just everything we need but a GPU to test but I'm fine with that is what we're gonna do we're gonna go ahead and fire my 980ti which I just reviewed on this guy's like I guess steps stepbrother core i7 77 40 X the core 8
thread the most useful CPU ever I didn't buy it anyways I have the data for that I want to see is coffee like any better is six physical cores better than eight theoretical or four or theoretical or whatever for threads in addition to 4-quart eight threads in total item yeah we're gonna test it out we're overclock the snot out of this because that's what we do here on this channel and I was given permission do a little system build and it should be fun and I'm really really diggin the orange and black theme so cue up some sexy build vlog video whatever we'll put her all
together to some fancy music like I always do overclock the snot out of it and just have a grand old time here on the site just to set a new system build haven't done that well I guess I have done that sort of recently but a completely new platform that I haven't played with yet should be fun so instead of hauling this core i5 8600 K I'm gonna put it in the motherboard
so I don't break it cue it up to me Joe let's get this cool song yeah that's a cool song get that cool song started and we'll do a brand new coffee like build and watch out for the temps ,we got the system all built she's beautiful I love it like this whole little system here actually this is a perfect
gaming PC in 2018 if you don't do anything else and you just maybe do a little bit of streaming do a little bit of whatever this is a very attractive platform it performs freakin awesome and had this been KB like the six cores and the six cores with hyper-threading to equal 12 threads and the i3 being four cores I had that been KB like Rison wouldn't have gained attraction that it's it but Intel was stagnant and they were just putting the same thing out over and over again I have a KB like chip this core i5 performs it better than my KB like X and we'll see that let's go
ahead and check out the performance but real quick stunning little PC this case offers ridiculously good airflow we'll get into in a second lots of RGB and crap inside but it's understated until the lights go out and then you have a little bit of a it's a really dark panel so you have a little bit of light show but it's all self-contained little RGB literally RG red green blue fans in the front they're not like addressable or anything like that they're just colored fans
and I worked with what I had and the 980ti works out perfectly in a very nice little gaming PC so cinema ch you're probably looking for a little result here let's run it 5.2 gigahertz six-course it's it's pretty astounding no D lid I had to deal it'd well I could do it with my mic a bit like a strip but yeah you know what this is a kind of the same deal I would delayed this if this was my personal CPU because it would probably do 5.3 no problem 5.4 but with the 1.4 3 volts pretty
high this h100 self-contained very very good to 1288 I've seen closer to I was hoping to hit 1300 but it's a little bit yeah here well we'll see how she runs and then we'll check out the thermals because I'm sure he'd be interested in that really nice big AIO on this thing and it's keeping everything nice and cool in there and yeah I really like this case it just blows air right through the rad and you know if you had an air cooler and there might be a different story
because there's a lot of openness up here but yeah let's see here oh man 1294 so close let's just we'll open up hardware monitor we'll run it one more time just to kind of see where the the temps are at because people will be interested now I would run this at 5 gigahertz all day long we see here the temperatures are very contained actually we might get up into the 70s but a 5.2 gigahertz the other things are getting warm in here and although this is a very good motherboard and it will handle it all right I would personally rather have a top 5 gigahertz and
how about like 1280 Cinebench score and you know maybe 1250 and still be beating my K be like X in an extreme situation my 7740 X so we see here you know we could quickly get the temperatures down but the CPU the package never went above 70 that's that's really good 70 volts some pretty high voltages though but yeah this is a pretty astounding little no hyper-threading system the six cores do very very well and six physical cores do better than 4 physical
cores eight logical cores in the 77 40 X so I'm gonna go ahead and shut this down because I don't need it anymore and it's really loud as I'm sure you'll hear it shut off but switch her back here this is my youtube video of when I can hear again we otter we had a cranked for the 5.2 gigahertz but you see doing pretty well this is my review of me overclocking the 77 40 X minus 20 in my garage at 5.6 gigahertz and the best Cinebench score I could get was 1210 around 1200 even at five point four gigahertz is aware where you typically see it so this is doing almost a
hundred points better with two less logical cores which is pretty dang amazing so oh yeah kudos to them and I really like you know until I really like Intel CPUs but I'm gonna be gaming on a CPU I like it to be Intel but if I'm gonna be video editing my Rison will beat it out because even though this has six cores the you know eight times to you know the 16 threads in my risin PC will allow me to stream video at it have to Photoshop 12,000 Chrome browsers open and still
being all Hal enough to do a couple other things and it never chugs down I think the six cores in this yeah you'd want the hyper threading if you were doing any sort of streaming or production work but it could get it done for sure you just might have to close a few things here and there or maybe in a couple years right now it's probably okay so what do we got for a price on this build well assuming you picked up a 980 TI for that's gonna be where we you know the one thing the the GPU they're very hard to find it might get better in the next couple months I'm
hopeful that a new release from Nvidia and the fact that cryptocurrency just took like another drive will will equal some GPUs out on the market but you know if we get over here 1588 52 that's the you know 200 what's for this amazing six core processor that's better than the version you know from last year the 7700 the i7 and it's just cheaper so we've we were we're go we're getting somewhere with Intel at least the you know the mid-range has become like last year's high and it's pretty good and then I've got a Corsair you know look with cooler
gigabyte motherboards expensive one 225 that insane Ram is pretty expensive for 16 gigs of it at 3200 we've got a need ATM got 2 SSD my put my card in there a silverstone redline or RL o 6 is what this is and it has an 850 watt power supply in it but it doesn't need it so if you did you know a little bit of you know used hunting and you know you even if you bought this case the case of only being 66 99 you could probably get this thing down
like with the 1980 I in it or you know maybe a 10 60 you are used like I don't know 980 or I don't know whatever you're gonna buy in a GPU department that's up to you but it's not a bad you know price to performance they're seeing as this will play you know I'm especially with a good GPU in it pretty much anything under this on a max graphics so what I did was I did some gaming benchmarks no that's one does and well we'll check out fire strike here I'm
we're always interested in fire strike so this here would be my 77 40 X the best score I've ever done with the 980ti in it and it did 18 five hundred eighteen thousand five hundred and two with a physics score of 15 951 and then we're gonna boom this is the eighty six hundred K 1600 so it is better than the i7 that's awesome that's but it's better than four cores with hyper-threading which is saying something now that's at five gigahertz I test things overclock to the nines with the highest performance that's the way it works not really sure how you know it
would work if we put them in stock but it seems like this you know does a pretty good job regardless and as long as you know you know can alter four settings in the motherboard or three settings you can get to five gigahertz fairly easy with a decent cooler probably even like just a big air cooler if I'm honest as long as you have the right case so it's doing really well there let's go ahead and check out some gaming benchmarks and all just kind of talk over them I was expecting me to have some notable difference here see here we've got Tomb Raider up on the
screen Tomb Raider is like within margin of error so is Witcher 3 so is Ghost Recon wildlands like they're pretty much identical and if I could run the exact same as I always I don't do the when I'm doing these benchmarks I always run through the same parts of games but things are gonna change a little bit here and there and who knows if Windows is running something in the background like an update or thinking about something it could change an FPS or here or two there well the fact that these are all within like three FPS and the 1% lows are pretty close as
well so coffee like if you're just a gamer man this is the CPU to get 100% and you can even do like everything else on it yeah but don't expect the future-proof Ness to last much no to too long with only six logical cores because eventually you know things will start taking advantage of the eight sixteen you know we've got throwed Ripper with 32 you know the games are gonna start taking advantage of a lot of cores so you know our programs and in the year 2020 is this gonna
be you know just as good or just as fast probably but beyond that I can't tell you .
