Demand for the i7-10700K is currently low.

When I look at YouTube channels comparing Intel 10th Gen processors, they mostly focus on i5 and i9 while skipping i7 reviews. What’s happening? Why isn’t the i7 covered? Did I overlook something? So far I’ve learned that Intel 10th Gen generally has limited RAM options, but does this apply to all models?
The 9900K and 10700K offer similar raw performance, but the 10700K handles heat dissipation better.
i5 10600/10600k works equally well in games. People won’t pay extra for an i7 10700 when it underperforms compared to Ryzen 7 3700x or 3800XT in similar tasks. Saving on the 10700k isn’t worth it since you’ll miss out on performance gains. Without solid overclocking, you’re losing a lot of speed.
It’s likely available in limited amounts and probably not found everywhere. It seems unlikely to be sent to Intel reviewers, and YouTube critics won’t rush to purchase just for a review. Even if they do get it, the experience wouldn’t be compelling—just an ordinary CPU with no standout features, minimal tweaking, and basic integrated graphics.
Hi, updated the details. I’m looking to upgrade to a gaming and streaming PC, especially for racing simulations. The i5 seems insufficient, so I’m considering an i7 which would save about 140€ locally.
I’m not sure when this will happen, so I’ll hold off until there’s a formal update about the new Intel CPUs.
When choosing Nvidia GPUs, you can stream with NVENC instead of using x264 encoding. It delivers excellent quality while reducing CPU strain. Unless the 10700 is more affordable than the 10600K, opt for the i5. You’ll receive an unlocked multiplier and higher clocks come out of the box, plus 12 threads are sufficient for gaming. Avoid this approach. I’m pointing out that in benchmark graphs, the 9900K appears as the 10700K. Most Comet Lake-S reviews highlight the 10600K and 10900K because those were the CPUs Intel sent reviewers with at launch.
