Consistent with this pattern, in all of the games we tested in the chart below at 1080p screen resolution, the Intel processor outran the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X chip by differing margins, some large, some small. This includes both demanding titles like Far Cry 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, as well as games with less strenuous graphics, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It's clear that if you're in the market for a mainstream gaming CPU, the Core i7-9700K is a winner. Play 4K UHD videos with exceptional clarity, view, and edit even the smallest details of photos, and play today's modern games. Intel to Bid Farewell to LGA1366 with Core i7-995X Extreme Edition". techpowerup.com. April 5, 2011 . Retrieved March 14, 2020. One of the best predictors of a CPU's performance in highly threaded apps is the Cinebench test, which uses Maxon's Cinema 4D multimedia editing suite to simulate real-world workflows.

All models support: SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Speed Shift Technology (SST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, IPU6 (except SRLFR) , TB4, Smart Cache, Thread Director, DL Boost, and GNA 3.0.

Most multimedia encoding and transcoding tasks use more modern multicore software like the open-source Handbrake app... Core i7-9700K drops into existing 300-series motherboards after a BIOS update, though Intel's partners also have a slew of Z390-based motherboards available. And whereas Core i9-9900K does require a top-of-the-line PSUfor optimal performance, Core i7-9700K is a bit more forgiving. All models support up to DDR5-4800, LPDDR5-5200, DDR4-3200, or LPDDR4X-4266 memory, and 20 lanes of PCI Express 4.0/3.0. Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand.

Much of the Core i7-9700K's advantage in graphics performance for 3D gaming comes down to the games themselves and not necessarily the capabilities of the CPU, however. Every game is different, and while some studios have optimized their titles to run on Intel processors, others have done the same for AMD, or for both. (Interestingly, the potential is there on both platforms; the Graphics subscore of the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra test was quite close for both.) The POV-Ray test is an abstract render, but the same engine is used in many software applications including the Blender 3D animation software suite. The Core i7-9700K and its competitors performed roughly the same in our Blender test, which renders a 3D image of a flying squirrel. Introducing the NEW 9th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors - the most powerful generation of Intel® Core™ desktop processors. Whether you are a gamer looking for a fantastic in-game experience with the performance headroom for smooth live streaming and seamless highlights recording or you are a creator that is ready to do more creating and sharing, less time waiting, this new generation of processors is ready to take you to that new level. All models support up to DDR5-5200, LPDDR5-6400, DDR4-3200, or LPDDR4X-4266 memory, and up to 28 lanes of PCI Express 5.0/4.0. All models support: SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Speed Shift Technology (SST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost 3.0, AES-NI, Smart Cache, Thread Director, DL Boost, and GNA 3.0.All models support: SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Speed Shift Technology (SST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, IPU6, TB4, Smart Cache, Thread Director, DL Boost, and GNA 3.0.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology Frequency Table – 5th Generation Intel Core i7 Desktop Processors". Intel. March 18, 2016 . Retrieved April 21, 2016. Intel isn't advertising significant across-the-board performance gains for the Core i7-9700K, and most of our test results largely confirm the chipmaker's claims of a modest boost over the previous 8th Generation parts. Performance in several key multimedia workflow simulations actually proved roughly equal between the Core i7-9700K and its six-core/12-thread predecessor, and we also found that the Core i7-9700K lags behind its multithreaded AMD competitor in many tests.
