so in today's video we're gonna test out the i5 8400 and also the I 580 600 km we're gonna overclock that compared against an overclocked 8700 K and arisin 7 1800 X in a variety of games and we'll also do some productivity benchmarks to see how good the I fives stack up against the best out there welcome back to check yes city this Bryan coming to you guys today with some more benchmarks on the to 6 core i5 variants now these were released into the wild with the i7 8700 K however the 8700 K kind of stole the show with it being the 6 core 12 threaded CPU that could get to 5 gigahertz and was on the main stream z 370 chipset of course however the 8600 K does raise a good proposition and now we'll talk about the overclocks later in the video where an average this six core six threaded 80 600 K is rumored to overclock higher than the 8700 K and we've also got the most interesting of the bunch the i5 80 400 which turbo is up to three point eight gigahertz on all six cores out of the box comes included with the cooler and costs one hundred and eighty dollars however before we talk more about these CPUs let's roll all the benchmarks and paint that picture so today's benchmark rig consists of the MSI gaming Pro carbon really good motherboard if all you want to do is get into overclocking and things are very simple in the bass great for beginners and you will get extremely good results too and also we're using the galaxy X 1080 Ti and of course the three different coffee-like CPUs and the 1800 X though with the 8400 I decided to drop the memory speeds down to two thousand six hundred and sixty-six megahertz you so as you could see in those benchmarks both the i-5 8400 and the 80 600 K we're doing extremely well in games now keep in mind this is with the gtx 1080i which is practically the best gaming graphics card you can get out there at the moment so if you do get a card like a gtx 1070 or a Vega 56 or something like that the differences will become less and less so going with any kind of the cpus that I've shown here today won't cause a problem for games and even then even with a 1080i there's not much of a difference what it comes down to those especially if you're a competitive gamer and hence why do test those competitive titles and you want the best FPS then you're probably going to be honestly looking at an 80 600 K that was performing extremely well of 5 gigahertz and I was really surprised when I put this in and overclocked it the first time I overclocked I got stability I've never had that before 5 gigahertz 1.3 3 volt it just locked in and it was running perfectly fine and the funny thing was it was using a lot less power than the 8700 K now keep in mind I do have to do more testing on this just to say with certainty that the 8600 K on average will overclock high because I could have a good sample for the 8600 K bad sample for the 8700 k but what I'm seeing here is that the six extra threads coupled with that small die size on the mainstream CPUs is allowing this time around the 80 600 K to use less power and so with that before the heat can dissipate to the IHS the 80 600 K is allowed to go higher because of that so this is kind of making any sense this is what I'm trying to say is is that my CPU the 80 600 K here overclocked to 5.2 gigahertz with ease but the 8700 K could only go up to 5 gigahertz and now both these CPUs were delivered and of course you will see a temperature drop both on the 8600 KD live versus the 8700 k but also on that note the 8600 k if you don't want to deal it it will go to 5 gigahertz stable I'd say in most these 8600 case will do a fine job of doing that so now let's focus on the games themselves and first up we've got pub G now I will remove the cap in future testing when I rerun all my benchmarks but for now what we could see was the 8600 K was neck-and-neck with the 8700 K and also the 8400 was performing really well as well in this title the 1.1 percent lows were doing extremely well on all these three CPUs on the coffee leg lineup the 1800 X was doing really well too and also on that note if you're streaming in this title there won't be much of a difference now a lot of people seem to think that streaming is extremely intensive on your computer the only thing that I've found it to be really intensive on is your discs especially if you're constantly copying over to those discs so make sure you get a good SSD if you want to strain but otherwise the CPU and the GPU itself I noticed not much of a difference when I stream with xsplit and it's why I use xsplit because it's so simple and easy to use in the output picture in itself is really good in the end but what about dota 2 when we look at this title we saw a difference again that scaled similar to pub G and I thought it was just a really good experience on all four CPUs of course if you're looking for that edge then the 8600 K is gonna give it to you the 8700 K of course will do the same thing except it's wasted money if you're a professional dota 2 player but moving over to csgo this was an interesting title because the 8700 K did win by quite a bit here and I did see this when I was playing some matches after I ran the benchmark so the 8700 K is kind of like the king of csgo if you need the best FPS possible and what I did was of course I test these titles at 1080 P high settings because I don't want to stress the GPU a hundred percent and I'm sure that's what competitive gamers would want they want to be stressing their CPU so they can get the most frame rates possible but of course moving on to some of the other titles the Ubisoft titles they were all doing really well on all four of these CPUs surprised the 8400 was kicking it really hard as performing the exactly the same as the 8600 K and 8700 K a lot of the times and one benchmark I will point out here is the Far Cry primal benchmark where the 8600 K beat the 8700 K so this is kind of one of those things where maybe having hyper-threading disabled helps it and was a for FPS difference which although you could put down the margin of error I did run it a few times and this is the numbers it was spitting out though the last gaming benchmark I want to pull up for you guys is the f1 2016 4 K results and I probably will be pulling up something similar to this in every single CPU gaming benchmark result that I do because at the end of the day if all you're looking for is an end user great graphical experience especially at 4k and it doesn't really matter what CPU you use I mean you could probably get away with a knife 3 even and you won't notice a difference that what we saw here today with the four CPUs on display was that there was practically no difference at 4k so the differences were showing at 1080p again is mainly for those people concerned with getting the at most highest fps whether you're on a 240 Hertz monitor or you're a competitive gamer plan for cash although the gaming benchmarks in the i5s is the main point of today's video also threw in some productivity benchmarks and I was really surprised by both what the 8400 and the 80 600 K were pulling off the 80 600 K overclocked handed a victory to the 1800 X in Premiere Pro now Premiere Pro of course after you go after 12 threads I believe it starts to scale down and and doesn't utilize all those 16 threads for example properly and so this allowed the 80 600 K to score that victory but Adobe Audition single threaded performance there so these are the kind of like two benchmarks for me personally that I use a lot so it's more relative to what I do but when we look at other benchmarks like pov-ray and also things like Cinebench and 7-zip the 1,800 X is doing really well so now it's conclusion time and I want to sum up mainly what the I 580 480 600 K are about and they are those relevant 6 core 6 threaded gaming CPUs the 80 600 K if you want that edge if you're looking for the best fps and the 8400 if you're on a budget though with the budget thing it's kind of tricky at the moment cuz there's only Z 370 chipsets available and to further complicate things as Zeus recently someone of the Zeus announced that they could get a Z 270 board working with the new coffee leg chips and if that's so then a kind of debunks Intel's claims that they had to change the socket around for power delivery and with that if a z2 70 will work then H 110 and B 150 and B 250 s could technically work with an i5 84 and if this is in fact a certain truth then man until what are you guys doing I mean just hit off the hit I don't know really what to say but we're gonna just focus on the 8,400 and the 8600 k for what they are right now and that's that they're really good gaming CPUs if you're looking for a CPU and you can get the Z 370 chipset and you can get a decent cooling solution then the 80 600 K will be a great solution I think you don't have to go out and spend as much on a Z 370 motherboard and cooler as you would if you wanted to buy the 8700 K so that is the benefit of the 80 600 K not as the CPU cheaper but you will get away with a entry-level Z 370 and also a cheaper cool because using around 90 watts at 5 gigahertz which was impressive thermal draw and now the 8400 with the thermal draw people are like okay why are they advertising 2.8 gigahertz on the 8400 it's kind of confusing because it goes up to 3.8 you go it's on all course and that's mainly in Intel's defense is the AVX instruction set that does juice a lot more power and put a lot more strain on the CPU so technically they have to advertise that 2.8 gigahertz base because if they didn't an aviation instructions ran on a slower speed for instance if it ran at 2.8 gigahertz and they advertised 3.8 gigahertz then they could be up for some legal action or something like that I don't know anyway besides the whole Z 370 only being released and also the limited supply situation with these CPUs when they do get back in stock and when the B 360 motherboards hit in the h3 tens then the 8400 is going to be a great Buy at its current price it's good except with a Z 370 motherboard it does start to lose its appeal especially compared to something like a B 350 and Verizon v 1600 though the 80 600 K that's very solid if you want to couple that with a Z 370 Pro floor for example from asrock really good combination and yes with the stocks I did manage to get to 8400 retail samples I bought one from my local retailer also got one delivered from amazon.com and I didn't really going any waiting lists I just saw him available I was like hey I'll get them because I want to use them and if you enjoyed today's video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below do you like coffee coffee lake if so why if not why not of course the why nots are a pretty strong argument and I'm not gonna argue against that and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon there's a youth build going to hit the channel very soon also if you want to check out my 8700 k review then I'll put the links in the description below and also with the overclocks the 8600 k versus the 8700 k i'll probably do a separate video later on once is more data out there it's really preliminary early results but it is looking like the 8600 k on average will overclock higher than the 8700 k which technically would make it a better gaming cpu anyway guys i'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
