right here we have the i9 9900 k and we're going to be comparing it against the i7 8700 k and also the risin 7 2700 X with both stock and overclocked numbers to figure out what would be the best purchasing decision for you now we're gonna be doing gaming productivity and streaming benchmarks as well as testing the temperatures and thermals of this new 8 quart 16 threaded CPU from Intel to see just how it stacks up against the competition at being their own CPU as well welcome back to Jack yet city this is brand coming to you guys today with the test bed figures first of all we have an RT X xx atti from azusa's the Strix rog edition one beast of a card then we're coupling that with 16 gigabytes in dual channel mode of ddr4 memory with seal 14 timings with 3200 mega Hertz across all three different CPUs we're using these same asrock variants across the different motherboard lines we're using the Taichi ultimate for the Z 390 the i7 87 Hajek 8 is tested on the gaming professional as rock Z through 70 motherboard and then the Rison 7 2700 k is tested on the asrock x4 70 Taichi and lastly for cooling we tested with the same cooling solution that is the H 100 I Pro from Corsair and with that aside let's bring up the gaming benchmarks first we've got here dota 2 1080p lowest settings here we're going to be stressing the CPU but also gonna be throwing up some 1440p ultra numbers as well to see that difference minimalized as you go up in resolutions and at this resolution we saw that the 9900 K and also the 8700 K were neck-and-neck once they were overclocked and here's the biggest difference with the 9900 K compared to the two other CPUs and that is out of the box it's pretty much going near max this thing is aggressively clocked even in the bias I'm turning off multi-core enhancement and it just seems to have some very aggressive turbo settings that pretty much take it to 4.7 gigahertz out of the box for 8 cores 16 threads that's very aggressive so basically the catch of this whole review is this CPU is going to be great if you don't know how to overclock and you want to go out buy a good mother board good cooling solution and just call it a day however that said we can see the 8700 K is kicking it hard in a lot of these benchmarks at 5 gigahertz same with the risin 2700 X with its 4.2 gigahertz and its value proposition at 1440p the numbers really start closing the gaps here between these three CPUs and this is with the RT X 28 ETA pretty much the best graphics card you can get for gaming at the moment moving across to Rainbow six siege we saw here at 1080p the lowest settings the 9900 K in the 8700 K we're coming out a little bit ahead of the Rison 720 700 X however it is important to note that the monitors used for gaming at the moment the max that I know of is 240 Hertz so all three of these CPUs are still giving average FPS above these numbers so unless you are an absolute big-ticket item player out there and you're going for massive prizes then the differences really aren't going to be that much in actual real world input delay with these three CPUs however the ring bus does have its advantages if you want to check out a video on that I'll put it up here however moving over to the 1440p numbers for Rainbow six siege see that the gap does close and it's all above 144 Hertz which is popular for 1440p monitors especially for competitive gamers and then we move out of the SAS ins Creed origins we saw both the Intel's scoring a little bit ahead of the Rison 720 700 X and then moving on to 1440p what we had here was a gap closing yet again and of course if we take it to 4k the gaps gonna close even more and now onto grand theft auto 5 1080p lower settings that I could dial in here to stress that CPU out we saw that the Intel's both the 8700 a and the 9900 K were actually breaking this engine to the point where the 1% in point 1% lows were giving out some stuttering in certain cases of the benchmarks and since we do average these benchmarks we do get a lower point 1 and 1% low then that of the 2700 X which was running smoother because it wasn't breaking the engine 1440p saw max settings all three of these CPUs scoring very similar numbers and it was a smooth experience brian flatt mid review this is why I got the T here because the T just calms me down let's all the data come back into my I'd say it's about a 10 terabyte hard drive up here and this is sort of reworking in the moment digit and on to Counter Strike global Offensive here we had 1080p lowest settings on this community-made benchmark showed that the 9900 K was coming out ahead of the 8700 K but it didn't come out a whole lot like I was surprised to see that it wasn't coming out a massive amount especially at 5 gigahertz these stock 4.40 Hertz however was behind considerably and then the rosen 2700 X was falling behind - in this benchmark but we do have to note that the FPS numbers are still very high all three of these CPUs will be great for gaming on this competitively moving up to 1440 P max settings so these gaps close yet again like all the other games however there was still a pronounced difference with the 9900 K and then moving over to call of duty black ops 4 blackout this is the Battle Royale I'm actually really enjoying this game and they've actually boosted all the FPS caps in multiplayer now so there's unlimited FPS which was great just in time for this review and we saw the numbers here showing that the 9900 K was coming out of top the 8700 K was very close it was a neck-and-neck battle and the Rison 2700 X was still getting very good FPS but when we move over to the streaming benchmarks this is the game that I decided to test the streaming on with the stream labs I absolutely love this I fell in love with this streaming application and we saw here that the out of the box settings were 6 megabits per second off the CPU encoding so that the 9900 K was then able to spread its wings over the 8700 K that's probably the only time in these gaming benchmarks especially when we're looking at overclocked versus overclocked where that CPU came out ahead the 2700 X did very well when it came to streaming and then move over to 1440p with this game with the max settings so that there was still a little bit of a difference but the gap again was closing so there's a gaming benchmarks done and dusted and what we saw here was the 9900 K it's very aggressively clocked out of the box so if you're not into overclocking and you want the best FPS possible then this CPU is definitely going to give that however the 8700 K at 5 gigahertz in my opinion is still the money shot even for competitive gamers who need the best PS and when it comes to streaming I always recommend people utilize their GPU if possible because the money you spend on a GPU with its GPU compute power versus CPUs is a lot more so if you can utilize that then you're definitely going to be saving money especially when it comes to utilizing the 8700 K and it's five gigahertz overclock 2700 X it does very well in gaming if you're a competitive gamer you're still gonna get a fantastic experience out of this CPU this is really getting into that territory of paying the premium for these CPUs and getting that little bit extra we'll talk about the pricing later but let's move over now to some productivity benchmarks and first up we had Adobe Premiere Pro this is now utilizing Intel CPUs very well in the 99 hundred K was coming out on top here the 8700 K in the 2,700 X we're kind of coming in the same ballpark here and this is a 4k 30-minute video file rendered at 25 megabits per second which is what I usually do in my workflow so the 99 hundred K would be the best however people have said you can use the HD encoder which will save you even more time I'm yet to experiment with it because honestly my workflow is absolutely fine and I'm using a 1680 v2 in my main workstation but onto 7-zip this is a decompression and compression benchmark here we saw the 9900 K Ashley trading blows with the risin 2700 X when it came to decompressing when it came to compressing it was coming out on top the 8700 K was kind of coming close to the rising 2700 X here but then decompressing horizon 2700 X definitely took the cake moving over to v-ray a CPU simulated benchmark utilizing all caused all threads and the 9900 K was coming out on top and then the followed by the 2700 X and then the 8700 K we would razón a studio 1a music benchmark for you music audio files out there people who love making music making the yes-men mix down we saw the 9900 K did the best here and then followed by the rising 2700 X and then also the 8700 K and then move over to Cinebench the simulated benchmark that always comes into every single review that pretty much everyone does nowadays we saw the 9900 K coming out on top and you can see how aggressive this CPU is walked out of the box using my custom overclock settings I could barely get any more out of the H 100 I Pro then we saw the rise in 2700 X coming in with a great value proposition then the 8700 K coming in with the best single threaded score so I guess this sort of sums it up in general what these three CPUs are all about and that is the 8700 K at 5 gigahertz still gets up in boogies and what we're going to do is we're going to relate the power consumption figures right after this because it is pretty important the I 999 hundred K was juicing a considerable amount more power than both the two counterparts here we're to the point where I was kind of surprised maybe the BIOS needs a bit of an update some tuning needs to happen and I guess a more micro level because the temperatures were also pretty damn high all surprised out of the box this thing was just going over a hundred degrees and then we looked at the overclock numbers that were going near a hundred and fifteen degrees and even after 15 minutes of I 264 it was actually thermal throttling so I was lucky I was able to get the benchmarks done but with that said they've raised the t.j.maxx on this CPU now to a hundred and fifteen degrees that's the new safety limit previously it was a hundred and five degrees on the 8700 K I believe and then on the rise in 2,700 X I believe it's 95 degrees and so what we're seeing here is something that demands a big cooler if you're gonna go with the 99 hundred K make sure you get something very big for this I'd say a 360 mil all in one or a custom to 80 mil cooler would be a prerequisite as we're using a 240 ml here today and although it's not getting overloaded it's not getting hot it's just that base plate is not big enough to absorb that initial heat and yes they are using a solder between the die and the IHS this time around but the problem is I still managed to deal with the CPU and that's going to be a separate video on its own so stay tuned for those results but now moving over to fire strike we saw here with the CPU physics scores the 8700 K was sort of trading blows with the Verizon 2,700 X 9900 K again coming out on top with its both out-of-the-box aggressive settings and its stock settings but in my opinion the 8700 K with 6 cores 12 threads was doing very well in this benchmark and it just shows you when it comes to gaming I still think the six cores 12 threads higher clock speeds is the most relevant choice but that about wraps it up for the benchmarks in the last of the new graph so I'm gonna show you guys here is the pricing in Australia this thing is going for well over eight hundred and fifty dollars currently and then in the u.s. it's going for about five hundred and thirty US and we see compared to the rise in 2700 X and even the 8700 K it is a league above these two CPUs in terms of pricing and keep in mind it will use more heat so in general it will need a bigger cooler also need a bigger power play and then you've got the premium of the Z 390 motherboards now that do have their better Hardware on board compared to XIII seventies and also X 470 motherboards so we're left in a state where this is a premium product but it's definitely adding a premium not just on the CPU costs but all the other Augmented costs involved so that's something you've got to look at with this CPU how much do you want it and are you prepared to pay the premium when it comes to gaming and that's all you do and you want that flagship CPU then the 8700 K o'clock to 5 gigahertz is still going to be my recommendation coming out of this the 9900 K is only going to get a recommendation for gaming if you have a lot of money and you don't like overclocking and you don't have the time all you want to do is go out and buy a massive cooler good motherboard and the 9900 K and have happy days also when it comes to productivity it is a ring boss CPU and it is doing better than the 8,700 case so if you do need to save time and you are a professional Video Editor or you do other productivity work that involves needing those extra two cores four threads of ring boss then the 9900 K will deliver but again depends on how much time saved first that extra costs are you willing to pay of course the Rison 2700 X here being the value star it is a king of value through and through I like this CPU a lot because one thing we haven't talked about yet is that both these CPUs here the Intel counterparts don't come with coolers included they're Rison 2700 X at its lowest price point out of these three CPUs does come with the included RGB prism cooler which does not only look really good but it also cools really well getting the CPU out of the box up to four gigahertz on all cores threads no problems with the included cooler also I'm not introducing the mesh architecture chips into the equation nor am i introducing thread Ripper into these comparisons here today because I do believe they introduce more latency at a base level but this is something a lot of reviewers aren't testing at the moment I'm only touching base on this so what we've got here is the best latency chips from both Intel and AMD on the bench so in a nutshell value King gaming king king of everything with a considerable premium attached and that's about it for today if you guys enjoyed this review then be sure to hit that like button and let us know in the comment section below what you think of the new I $9.99 hundred K I'm also going to be doing two separate videos with the 99 hundred K versus the 2700 X civically because I feel like there's a lot more talking points than just today's video then also be comparing it just against the 8700 K with talking points of their own and then of course stay tuned for the big one where we're gonna be testing ninety nine hundred K versus 2700 X versus the older Xeon we're gonna be doing a lot more in depth tests for you guys and that's a wrap catching another tech video very soon he's out for now bye
