Intel Core i7-10700K vs. Intel Core i7-9700 - Better for Gaming?

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and was wondering if the Intel Core i7-10700K is better than the Intel Core i7-9700 for gaming. Any advice?

Hi @cathyliu, both CPUs are solid choices, but it depends on your specific needs. The 10700K has a higher single-core max turbo boost frequency and more core counts. I think you'll find a good overview in this TechReviewer article Intel Core i7-10700K vs. Intel Core i7-9700.

I recently upgraded to the i7-10700K and it's been a game changer for me. I noticed a huge improvement in my gaming experience, especially in titles that are more CPU-intensive.

That's awesome to hear @Littlebitoflovely. I'm still on an older model, but I've been considering making the jump to one of these CPUs myself. How do you like the i7-10700K overall?

It really does depend on your usage and what games you play. I think both are good choices, but if you're into more CPU-intensive titles or want that extra boost for streaming or video editing, the 10700K might be worth it.

Yeah, I had a similar experience to @Littlebitoflovely. The i7-10700K has made a huge difference in my gaming performance. I've also noticed an improvement in general app usage as well.

That's great to hear everyone! Just make sure you have a high-performance cooler to handle the extra heat from the 10700K if you go for it.

Good point @GeminiAction12. Thanks for all the input, guys. I think I'll take some time to research and see which one suits my needs best. Appreciate your insights!
