I bought a 9600K that is still within the return period but was wondering if the 8700K would be a better option. I bought the 9600K for £60 whereas the 8700K is £95 so a difference of about £35 for only a 6 thread difference.
My GPU is a AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT so also was wondering which CPU would be best for that.
I don’t really want to upgrade motherboard because I need a PC for uni and can’t afford to buy another motherboard before selling my current motherboard.
Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!
8700k for sure, the single core seems to be the same, but 8700k has hyperthreading(12>6), 3MB more cache (12>9) and 100MHz higher turbo frequency (4.7>4.6).
