How much faster is the i9 than the i7?

It can drop as low as 1.4GHz, but can still boost up to 4.6GHz on a single core. The i9 lineup is almost exactly the same, just with a few differences in clock speed. The 11900K and 11900KF start at 3.5GHz and boost up to 5.3GHz on a single core, while the 11900 and 11900F top out at 5.1GHz at only 65 watts.

Is the i7-9700K better than the i9-9900k?

Yes, you read that right. A 1-5% speed boost in gaming performance for the i9-9900k, even though the i9-9900k costs roughly 25% more than the i7-9700k! The near-identical gaming performance and lack of hyper-threading makes the i7-9700k the better-value choice for a gamer.

Should I upgrade from i7 8700K to i9 9900K?

It looks like it’s not a good idea to upgrade your Intel CPU this year! Going from i7-8700K to i9-9900K will improve overall speed by aprox. 18% which is not enough of a step forward! Wait until 2020, when Intel will start producing 10nm chips!

Can I replace i7 with i9?

Most likely you can not replace i7 processor with the new i9 Intel processor. The i9 processor requires a (new) R4 socket and is supported by the x299 chipset. You will need the new i9 / X299 motherboard.

Is it worth upgrading to i9 9900k?

A stock 9900K probably won’t feel slow for awhile. Even 3-4 years from now it’ll still feel solid. You’re probably set until they start releasing their 7nm chips. anything below 12 cores is not worth upgrading to from a 9900k.

How long will the i9 9900k last?

It will most likely last 5 years but god knows what games we’ll have in 3-4 years.

How much RAM do I need for i9 9900K?

If you are exclusively gaming and have no plans to make or render videos 16gb of ram is the sweet spot. On Intel CPUs ram provides very minimal performance gains so there isn’t much reason to go for ram speeds above 3000 or 3200. 16 GB 3200mhz is the best bang for your buck.

Is Intel Core i9 9900K good for gaming?

Intel says its 8-core, 9th-gen Core i9-9900K is the “world’s best gaming CPU,” but it’s wrong. It’s easily the world’s fastest gaming CPU. More for you to like: CPU, throw on two more cores and crank the clock speed up to 5GHz almost all of the time, and it’s easy to see how the Core i9-9900K would top the charts.

Can you future proof a PC?

There’s no truly future proof PC. GTX 9900 would probably last for another 99 years.

Does more RAM future proof?

Having a lot of RAM does not future proof a PC. Other technologies also improve such as CPU, GPU, USB, SSD, flash drive, video, routers, Wi-Fi, printers, etc. New software may drop support for old hardware, forcing a hardware upgrade.
