It doesn't matter because I plan on buying a motherboard that fits the Cpu that people suggest to meFor what motherboard? The motherboard chipset used has a major role in answering this question.
I want it for gamingI7 6700 or t likely, but we would need more info.
What motherboard? Why do you want to buy a 4 core i7 specificly? For what use?
Now none of the the newer i7 4 cores are a good idea. A cheaper but newer 6 core i5 or ryzen 5 with ddr4 support would be a better option.
Then the cheapest you can get is the i7 9700K - and it's crap when compared with the Ryzen R7 . Quad core I7s go back several years, and they get blown out of the water by the cheapest Ryzen 3xxx.I want it for gaming
What? Thats an old x79 based cpu from 10 years ago. I dont think there is anh way to use ddr4 with thay cpu.i7 with ddr4 support according to pcpp is the i7-930
Lol, well it shows up after enabling compatibility and throwing some ddr4 into the mix on pcpp.What? Thats an old x79 based cpu from 10 years ago. I dont think there is anh way to use ddr4 with thay cpu.

65W vs 105W for similar performance, i7 costs an extra $100 and doesn't come with a cooler (add $30)... "Same performance, hotter, more power hungry and more expensive" means a crap deal in my book. So yeah, the i7 is crap. If you only need gaming performance the i5 9600K performs similarly but is less expensive, and the i9 9900K is the performance leader - but is prohibitively expensive (when you can find it). As for the -F variant, its market price isn't much better than the -K one.You have a funny definition of "crap".
Please...enlighten us with your reasoning. Actual numbers would be preferable.
Well, for those few websites that compared these 2 CPUs (and not the 9900K) the 3700X was within spitting distance of the 9700K - win some, lose some - and simply slaughtered it when it came to productivity. Since we're talking game here, I simply used "same performance" instead of "much better value all around"."Same performance"
Gotcha.
As I pointed out before, the biggest problem here is that the i5-9400F is faster than an i7-6700 in both games and applications, and is similar in performance to a stock i7-6700K. Since it costs less than either, there's no point in going with an older i7 for anyone who isn't upgrading an older motherboard that can't take the newer processors.An locked Core i7 6700 is about the cheapest you can find, and its sti. A aillilar cost to an i5 9400f.
