Discussion NEW Cinebench R20 Benchmark Outcomes - i9 9900K
Conducted multiple benchmarks using Cinebench R20 on my i9 9900K. I ran tests at both stock and overclocked speeds—5.0GHz and 5.1GHz. Please share your findings or ask any questions.
I understand the 9900k is a great CPU, but only beating the 7700k by 25-35 points feels a bit underwhelming. After rebuilding my loop and getting the rig back online, I'll check the single-core score of my 6600k against the 9900k. The multi-core score probably won't be impressive, just showing how well this 14nm process is pushed.
Consider the metrics this benchmark evaluates—it's tailored for specific software in video editing, etc., and isn't applicable to gaming. The outcomes here don't indicate improved performance in that context.
The screenshots from the multi-core rankings are clear. I believe the 7700K scores are accurate at the stock clock speed, so I'm in agreement that the single-core performance is decent but not outstanding. The multi-core score, however, significantly surpasses the 7700K right out of the box.
I experienced significant pain in my 9900KF because I couldn't find reliable information online about scores, voltages, and settings. After a month of use and some adjustments over two full days, I settled on a stable configuration at 5.1Ghz @ 1.33v with the CoolerMaster Maker 8 air cooler. The system runs quietly since it won't run continuously at high temperatures. It briefly hit temperature throttling for about five seconds, but that's acceptable. If you're seeking lower temps or fear CPU damage, I considered Corsair H150i but didn't replace the whole unit.
It seems the focus is on comparing performance differences between CPUs. The key point is that the 9900k offers more cores than the 7700k, making it significantly faster despite being slightly slower per core. The argument about cost versus performance is similar to comparing a car with lower power output to one with higher power—such comparisons aren't always fair.
