Intel Core i9-10900KF vs. i7-10700KF for Gaming?

Started by massivewhale on July 11, 2024

I've been looking at the new Intel CPUs, and I'm interested in either the Core i9-10900KF or the Core i7-10700KF for gaming. Has anyone had experience with these? Any advice would be appreciated.

That's interesting! You should check out this TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-10900KF vs. Intel Core i7-10700KF for a more detailed comparison of these two CPUs. It covers their performance, base frequencies, and turbo boost frequencies, among other things.

Both are excellent choices, but I prefer the i9-10900KF due to its 10 cores. The extra core count can provide an advantage in games that utilize them.

Thanks, @SnGSmama. I'm leaning towards the i9-10900KF now after reading that article. Does anyone have personal experience with either CPU?

I recently upgraded to a Core i7-10700KF, and I must say, it's been performing great for me in games! The single-core max turbo boost frequency is impressive.

Great to hear @qualiagirl. It seems both CPUs have their strengths. I'm still on the fence about which one to choose.

Yeah, it really depends on your specific needs and budget. Both are capable gaming CPUs, so you can't go wrong with either choice.

That's true, @lyfebyhomer. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and what games you plan on playing. I'd recommend trying both if possible, but that might not be an option for everyone. In the end, you'll have to make a decision based on your own preferences and needs.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I think I'm going to go with the i9-10900KF based on the TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-10900KF vs. Intel Core i7-10700KF and @qualiagirl's positive experience with the i7-10700KF.
