Avoid overclocking and skip the K SKU. Non-K parts only work with locked multipliers.
K chips tend to run a bit quicker, though I haven’t spotted any benches yet. Their TDP is lower (65 versus 95), which usually means they’ll be slower. I’d opt for the KF model for an extra $30.
still prefer a solid low-end Z370/Z390 like the Pro4 and UD, or skip the B360/B365 options.
Both claims are false, since the 9900 runs slower due to its lower base speed. This appears to be the area Intel monitors, while OpTik might find value in fast synchronization.
This was a query from an Intel representative about replacing the 6700K. It seems it doesn’t need to be on a Z-series board. Just gaming and some light applications. I assumed Intel might have reduced prices significantly, but haven’t confirmed yet—just keeping an eye on updates.
I’m focusing on how the i7 8700 compares to the i7 8700K. If fast synchronization mattered, why would anyone choose a high-core-count Ryzen CPU? For me, the i9 9900K is the best choice since cost differences aren’t a concern and my previous video editing software was Premiere.
