All benchmarks are performed at 1080P resolution resulting in the highest cpu load, and represents the favorite gaming resolution for 76,47% of all STEAM gamers in the period of 2016-2018. Both systems have their XMP DDR4 (3200mhz) memory profile activated. We could opt for a GTX 1080 Ti, but to make things interesting, and in line with the average users videocard budget, we opted for the GTX 1060 6G from Asus and Zotac.īoth systems have their cpu clocked at stock speeds and their GPU’s at identical frequencies (2025/9000 mhz). We also run 3D Mark Firestrike, Timespy and Cinebench R15 (single and multi-core) being the static benchmarks of our choice. The games of our choice are The Rise of the Tombraider (DX12), Battlefield 1 (DX12) and GTA 5 (DX11). We prepared two test systems which consist of a quad core Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake and 6-core Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake with identical Nvidia GTX 1060 6G GPU’s. ![]() Does this mean you have to upgrade your previous Intel Kaby Lake Core i7-7700K to the new Coffee Lake platform, or is it all marketing talk? In this blog we will take a look at a few scenario’s which are based on a straightforward set of benchmarks. The last Intel generation, more specifically the i5 and i7 Coffee Lake cpu’s 8×00 series are considered the best gaming cpu’s, delivering the highest IPC to date when compared to the direct competition. After all, a higher IPC means the cpu is able to process images faster delivered to and from the GPU. ![]() Nonetheless, more cores are only beneficial if the users favorite programs, or games, are designed to use these resources in the first place.įor gamers though, IPC, or instructions per clock are still the most important factor when deciding on a cpu. That is in consumer cpu’s not enterprise level. ![]() Two years ago 8 core (Octa-core) cpu’s were valued as highly exotic, but today in 2018, core count ends at an astonishing 18 cores and 36 threads in Intel’s most expensive Intel Core i9-7980XE, followed by the relatively cheaper AMD Threadripper 1950X with 16 cores and 32 threads. The last two years cpu speeds have not increased as rapidly as the number of physical cpu cores we see today in the latest AMD and Intel offerings.
