[SOLVED] Core 19 11900K vs Core i7 8700K performance differential

[fordongreeman]

In percentages, how much faster is single and multi-core performance of the Core i9 11900K compared to the old Core i7 8700K?

11900k is not out yet

Excluding Engineering Samples, the retail version isn't even out yet, so how would anyone beyond an Intel engineer know the answer to this?
A reviewer would be under some NDA anyway...

Even if it where out, you can only have specific numbers for a specific app.
There is no 'one number' that tells you anything about general performance.

No idea... but for the sake of comparison I can tell you my old 4c/8t 7700k would take 2 hours to encode a 2 hour video file in Handbrake... The 10c/20t 10900k encodes the same 2 hour video file in 30 minutes.

Well, a 10 core CPU is going to be 150% faster than a 4 core in heavily multi-threaded applications.

I meant single core and multi-core performance compared to the previous generation 8-core CPU.

Percentages do not mean a whole lot when they are improvements above a certain level, especially if gaming.

I'd not upgrade an 8700K (which still slightly faster than an R5-3700X last time I saw comparisons) until it no longer meets your needs, and not merely because something else is out '10-13%' faster at 1080P', etc...

Below are comparisons between 8700k and existing 10900K when both are equipped with a 2080Ti
