Compare performance gains and costs to decide if the upgrade is beneficial.
Refers to the i9 from the same generation or the latest model? Please clarify which specific i9 you're asking about.
Not really unless you're focused on productivity. In gaming, the difference is minimal.
There won't be significant gains. Perhaps only a small percentage.
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/In...vsm1522100 Here is a small benchmark on the two compared. It seems like a sort of upgrade that would increase the lifetime of the PC but even now is only better by like 10% percent or so. Maybe something like rendering would show a benefit, but upgrading purely to play games or browse the internet likely wouldn't show a huge bump(of course there would be a small bump in performance but justifying it for the price seems unlikely).
The i9 11900k offers a 11700k base clock, yet delivers a 200MHz boost. The 10900k provides two extra cores but underperforms in single-core tasks. For gaming purposes, these differences are irrelevant.
You don’t have a 11700F yet. Plan to upgrade the entire platform over the next few years.
