Same as i7-10700k but cheaper, cause if you buy a cpu like this one you will surely buy a graphics card, so you wont need the graphics unit form intel.—Dec '20

This is good CPU for gaming and rendering. I recommend it for RTX 2070 Super. 8 cores and 16 threads are excellent!


Excellent

8C 16T i7 CPU with base clock of 3.8Ghz, turbo up to 5.1Ghz. TDP of 125W. If you want a i7-10700K for a bit cheaper, then here you go. KF mean it just don't have iGPU, which makes it dGPU or eGPU necessary to your PC build. Will perform same as i7-10700K.


Excellent

8 cores are more than enough for gaming and overkill for daily web browsing. Undervolted by 140mV with turbo clock set at 4.6Ghz all cores combined with a noctua u9s makes a very powerful yet quiet gaming platform.


Excellent

19 months ago.

Fast, and capable of good multitasking with its 8 cores. A solid CPU that will easily run high level games for years.


Good

Quite expensive, Great CPU, Can run very game you throw at it with ease, runs quite hot, but with the right cooling you shouldn't get more than 80C with maximum sustained load. Turbo clock is very fast as well.


Excellent

3 years ago.

Damn good value. Will run anything I throw at it today and for the next 5 years easily. I would take this for $300 vs the 5600x any day.

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Best User Rated

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
