Benchmarks for Intel Core i5-9600K Leak, Can Be Overclocked to 5.2 GHz On Air
The first official data we have received about the performance of the new Intel processors are not exactly spectacular. The Core i9-9900K has aroused considerable controversy due to the unfair Principled Technologies test bench. The results have been reviewed and confirm that the performance gain is debatable, but independent analyses have yet to appear for Core i9-9900K, Core i7-9700K and Core i5-9600K processors.
Today we have some info about one of them: a new video in China shows a Core i5-9600K being benchmarked with a MSI Z390 MEG Godlike motherboard with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a Silver Arrow Extreme cooler from Thermalright. We don't have game benchmarks, but at least we have some Cinebench results both with the processor working with its 3.7 GHz base clock and overcloked to 5.2 GHz. That process was done without problems despite using an air cooler.
The results in Cinebench R15 were 1,034 CB without overclocking and 1,207 with overclocking. These performances are at the level of the Core i5-8600K, which obtained 1,051.66 CB compared to 976.61 CB of the Core i5-8400 with their base clock. The price of the Core i5-9600K is now around $280 dollars when we've also have got the Core i5-8600K at $260 and the Core i5-8400 priced at $205. Everything gets even more interesting if we consider that the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 costs $250 and the Ryzen 2700X is at $295. The latter has been the one compared with the Core i9-9900K in the tests officially published by Intel.

Nevermind the 2700X.
Right now on PcPartpicker ( UK ) these are on preorder for £350 to £400, with that £400 price far too close to the i7 8700K ( £419 ) for any sort of comfort.
Until this price at least drops sub £300 it's going to have a huge time attracting any takers, especially with the R7 2700X available sub £300 with cooler included.
I just wish i still had mine...*sniff...*:cry::cry:
For the overclocked "version", you'll need a good aftermarket cooler for either platform, such as the one used for this Intel leak, in which case you can compare the prices without the average cooler.
and Overclocking on Intel is like a MSRP ... a unicorn for me ... never got luck with them except on a i7-920 and a E8600, my actual 6600K which never did more than 4.4 is back at stock (thanks Microsoft and Intel ) BSOD at the single moment i try to push above 3901mhz (same settings as the OC that worked before) sooo good the 9600K can do 5.2ghz on air ... but never will reach it for me :laugh:
And you can nearly get a 2700X for this price. LOL.
If anyone wants to cut to the chase and see the cpu z run score
618.9 single thread
3579.7 multi thread
Sigh, and I so loved my 3 previous Intel builds, where did it start to go so wrong?
Odd, how over the years, nobody seems to ever learn anything from the past mistakes of others.
And my last cpu did 6 years tbf.
Not gonna say I told you so... but... :rolleyes:
It's the node size influence, the heat density per mm square is going up per node.
Temps and power use i can see no winners ,both camps are vague ,err on the easy side often but are doing similar temps and Watts these days.
No great advantage there ,just the performance index in high fps games then and gamers just priced out of better CPUs and very intel aware.
Plus it's actually a sign both companies can design a good circuit that truly self optimises, to work within , around and if allowed above their design parameters , correctly, they should get hot if loaded that is not idleing.
First of all yes CPU's can run at those temps but for how long ? Certainly for less longer than if they where 20C lower . Sustained operations at TjMax temps are never good nomatter how you look at it . Secondly i don't even know why you have to bring AMD here ( well i do know ... ) but you should know that 6core Ryzen will never reach such temps even under max OC with such a cooler.Actualy not in this case high temps have much more to do with the insanely high voltage you have to push to achieve that 5.2GHz than anything else .
I am sure you know how variable this whole overclock things is, sometimes you are temperature bound sometimes not. Sometimes it's due to the thermal interface sometimes not. By soldering you are effectively removing one possible bottleneck for good.
I personally think, working as i do in a scientific research HQ , that chip makers didnt guess that top limit.
