Benchmarks for Intel Core i5-9600K Leak, Can Be Overclocked to 5.2 GHz On Air

I still stay with X99. <3
 
Winter 2019, AMD 7nm CPU and GPU combo. Be patient my brothers. The end game at a reasonable price is less than a year away!
 
I don't know where they got that voltage from but these basically clock the same as the 8000's. So 5.0-5.2GHz+ @ 1.35V.
Check the source article. Idk why TPU left the voltage out that was all I cared about. Source says 1.507v
 
1.507V @ 90C :kookoo::kookoo::eek::eek:
WTF!!

If that's the actual vcore needed for a manual 5.2GHz oc then that is probably the worst chip I've seen in a while. Likely what's going on is an "auto oc'ing" abombination was being used on it which of course love to crank the volts real high for no reason.
 
Why does that seem abysmally low to me? Like, almost unrealistically low...

I mean, my Ryzen 2600 (non-X) scores in the 1200's running stock settings. It's only boosting to >3.8ghz to score that. And then it easily overclocks to 4.25 @ 1.33v, pushing it just into the upper-mid 1400's. And it's maxing 78C under heavy stress. I broke 1500 at 4.35 at around 1.45v the other day and the voltage/temps were just beginning to approach that i5, which is stupidly high imo - completely unrealistic overclock, but still. The 4.25 isn't too far off and I ran that for quite a while.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that's really something to brag about. Don't wanna be one of those "duhhrr... mah aye ehm dee" guys, but this is a $150 CPU getting those scores no problem. Call it $210 if you count the Scythe Mugen Max on top.

Just looking at the base specs, I don't see how it can be that comparatively bad. Obviously I'd be oversimplifying, but I would expect a 6c/6t Intel CPU to at least keep up with a 6c/12t AMD one with almost a full ghz max clock difference. Even if you take the advertised boost of 4.6ghz you'd think that'd be enough to give it some edge. There's no way this is even close to the whole picture. Something is missing.

If that's a real indicator, it's a joke. I wonder what the SC score is like. Not to mention other benchmarks. Just doesn't seem right. CB doesn't usually mislead - there's something to it I suppose... ...I dunno, I don't fully trust this. Reserving judgement. I think in this case comparing CB scores has got to be misleading. I like my AMD chip but that's a ridiculous difference.

But hey, at least it has integrated graphics :p

One thing I will say... if real, it does make Intel look a little haggard, being that they've used CB scores against AMD in the past.

HT/SMT is about 30% boost for Intel, a little more for AMD. Additional threads help a lot, especially on an extremely well threaded benchmark like Cinebench. Cinebench is also scaling linearly with everything, cores, threads and clock speeds. As well as having low, if any, scaling from memory and no AVX support. AMD chose to focus Ryzen marketing on Cinebench for a reason.

At stock 9600 boosts to 4.3GHz on all cores. OC was to 5.2GHz. This makes gains from 1034 to 1207 linear enough. 20% overclock, 17% better score.
 
I change my mind, X299 and i9-9800X or i9-9820X are more interesting than i9-9900K.
It's sad that I didn't bought ASUS Rampage VI Apex for 250 euro new never removed from box.
I could even get for less money but I was not sure that I will have cash for processor.
