Which new i7 or i9 model is better for Comet Lake?
The i7-9700k is almost the same as the i9-9900k, though it rarely exceeds it. The i9 seems better for the future, but if you prefer AMD, go with that.
I'm unsure about the benchmarks you're referring to, but I'm sure the i9 model definitely beats the i7 in consumer sockets. The 10980XE tends to perform worse for gaming, though the 9900K and especially the 9900KS are top-tier CPUs for that purpose. i9 outperforms i7 in all aspects. Yet, why not Ryzen? It offers the best of both worlds.
You're looking at which titles will work well on modern Ryzen processors. Make sure you pair them with quick RAM, as higher clock speeds in DDR4 memory boost performance.
The 4th generation Ryzen processors should perform well in single-core tasks and may even surpass their Intel rivals. Your system includes a dedicated GPU, compatible motherboard, multiple RAM modules, a robust power supply unit.
