Intel will soon release its brand new CPUs and the first gaming benchmarks for its new Core i7 CPU have surfaced. Elchapuzasinformatico has just published its performance review in which it included and benchmarked six PC games.
The PC games that Elchapuzasinformatico benchmarked are: Doom, Far Cry 5, Resident Evil 7, Total War: Warhammer 2, Battlefield 1 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. For these gaming tests, Elchapuzasinformatico used an MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming Z and ran them at 1920×1080.
As we can see, the Intel Core i7 9700K offers the best gaming performance, however the gap between in most cases is relatively small. The biggest performance gap appears in Far Cry 5 in which the Intel Core i7 9700K is 11fps faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Furthermore, it appears that some games were GPU limited (like Rise of the Tomb Raider). As such, and as we’ve already said in the past, it would be wise to benchmark CPUs at really low resolutions like 720p.
The Intel Core i7 9700K is not Intel’s flagship CPU. While this new i7 features eight CPU cores, it does not support Hyper Threading. Intel’s new i9 CPU, the Intel Core i9 9900K will feature eight CPU cores and will support up to 16 threads thanks to Hyper Threading, though it’s still unknown whether it will be available at a competitive price.
We’ll be sure to share the first gaming benchmarks for the Intel Core i9 9900K as soon as we get our hands on them so stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Are these CPUs susceptible to the known vulnerabilities, spectre, meltdown, etc.?
Yes, the hardware hasn’t been fully changed to address the vulnerability.
Looking at this chart, Cannon LAKE CPU arch, if it comes out of yield, might have a microcode fix out of the gate (including some Coffee Lake Refresh processors).

nice find, is this trustable?
Yes, it was created by 3Dcenter.
I believe i read somewhere that intel has a “hardware immune fix” for Cascade lake/Cannon Lake. By then water will have risen above new york level and we’ll all live in the mountains of British Colombia in Canada.
Compared to 6700K no to much jump, maybe bcs thoses games are more like GPU bound :v
“and ran them at 1920×1080”
STOP IT, i want 1440P and 4K benchmarks
all this 1080P crap is an outdated resolution
what, we gonna bench in 720P too?
yeah we’ll just have to wait for the 20xx for the 720 benches
There is a reason why CPUs are tested on lower resolution…….
Running a CPU performance benchmark at a high resolution makes about as much sense as running a GPU test in Minecraft.
even if it’s a couple of Frames, i’ed still rather they do benchs in MODERN resolutions
and not outdated peasant tier resolution
Resolution doesn’t matter for CPU tests, the CPU isn’t rendering the frames. If you test at a high resolution, you’ll be maxing out the GPU before you max out the GPU. What you want is to use a resolution that won’t stress the GPU, and will allow the most usage from the CPU.
Otherwise, you may as well test CPUs by seeing how fast you can copy a file off a SCSI 5400RPM HDD.
typo: “maxing out the GPU before you max out the CPU”.
They should run the tests in both very low resolution and the highest 4K – 8K but except similar results on higher resolutions.
But still, by running it on lower resolution it will telly you much more about the hardware (which one is really the strongest).
its a cpu test NOT a gpu test, you ignorant twit. this has been explained over and over yet amazingly there are still people as stupid as you that cant grasp how things work.
wow, can anyone be THIS retarded?
Then explain why he is retarded?
the benchmark was done with a GTX 1070TI
not an amateur card by any means
1080P is outdated, most of the textures for modern games (non-ports that is) are made for 1440P and up
you can easily see this when you look at a GTA V 1080Pvs1440Pvs4K benchmark
so showing results done in a resolution which not many gamers still use (power gamers that is)
is non-beneficial if you want to buy the top of the CPU
it’s obvious…
you are beyond stupid and lack the ability to comprehend what a “CPU” test is.
I’m good with my ryzen 2700.
I’ll wait for Zen 2 thanks.
Well this tells me one thing, since my motherboard just died due to surge in my area I will be be upgrading to a 2700x this gap is satisfyingly narrow for the price of a Ryzen 2700x processor. Long live competition gentlemen!
I bought a CPU like 8 years ago. I’m not buying into this “new CPU” scam that Intel is running. Buy once and you should be covered forever.
was this running with all security patches?
i doubt it
