Core i9-10900K up to 30% Faster than i9-9900K: Intel
Intel's upcoming Core i9-10900K desktop processor is up to 30 percent faster than the Core i9-9900K according to the company, which put out a performance guidance slide that got leaked to the web. Based on the 14 nm "Comet Lake-S" silicon and built for the new LGA1200 platform (Intel 400-series chipset motherboards); the i9-10900K is a 10-core/20-thread processor that leverages increased TDP headroom of 125 W to sustain higher clock-speeds than 9th generation "Coffee Lake Refresh," while also offering a 25% increase in processing muscle over the i9-9900K, thanks to the two additional CPU cores.
In its performance guidance slide, Intel shows the i9-10900K scoring 30% more than the i9-9900K in SPECint_rate_base2006_IC16.0. There's also a 25% boost in floating-point performance, in SPECfp_rate_base2006_IC16.0, which roughly aligns with the additional core count, as both these tests are multi-threaded. Other noteworthy results include a 26% gain in Cinebench R15, and 10% in SYSMark 2014 SE. In tests that don't scale with cores, Intel appears to rely entirely on the increased clock-speeds and improved boosting algorithm to eke out performance gains in the low-to-mid single-digit percentages. Intel is introducing a new clock-speed boosting technology called Thermal Velocity Boost, which can dial up clock-speeds of the i9-10900K up to 5.30 GHz.

with intel you're getting an iGPU too.
You have to compare same models that you can compare the prices fair. A comparison between two different boards would not be very meaningful. But sure you can compare the cheapest X570 with the cheapest Z390, but if VRM/Layout/Quality is not the same then it‘s useless. I chose the Taichi because it‘s Z390/X570 quality should be approximately equal.I didn‘t say anything like that. What I wanted to say is that the i7 9700K beats the Ryzen 3700X in 720p nearly by10%.
Yes in 1080p it‘s less and in 4K even more less but CPU benchmarking is best done in 720p. They only use a RTX 2080 Ti that GPU is not the bottleneck and the higher the Resolution gets the minor is the difference in FPS. But in 720p with an RTX 2080 Ti, where GPU isn‘t a bottleneck at all you see the CPU gaming performance best.
And by the way GamersNexus came to the similar result that if you use your rig mostly for gaming then go with i7 9700k
Also 720p testing. That's meaningless. Almost none of the bigger benchmarking outlets do 720p testing. You are creating an artificial bottleneck and basing your decision to go Intel years down the track on those results that do not represent real world. Good luck with that.
Note: I personally find the 3700x and 3800x as great CPUs but I also don't have long curls going down to my back
9400f/3500x
3600
(.............) ->>>> need a cpu to fill asap.3700x is not fast enough to justify the premium over 3600.not for gaming.not for anything.
9700k
9900k and 3800x are the worst value per dollar,3800x for gaming (matched by 9600k),9900k for workstation (matched by 3700x,bulldozed by 3900x)
Average office noise 60 - 65 db and a quite room is 23 to 30 db , your noise point is??
used 8700k fills that price gap nicely.
I knda regret not getting one.If I did it'd last me till zen 5nm on ddr5 comes.
may still happen.
like I said,a used 8700k would be much better from a value standpoint.
you do pay a premium for 9700k over 3700x usually.
it's about the same as 3800x.
