Hi guys , I want to upgrade my old 10700k, I do some video editing and occasional gaming.
I want to upgrade PC and keep for another 5 or so years. Is 14700k stable now? Also I want py PC run upcoming GTA 6 game.
I also looking at R9 9900x ...

I have now 10700k, RTX 4070Ti, 32 Ram, 1440p. Planing to update my gpu , but not now , maybe late summer for RTX5080.
Any thoughts please?
 
14700k would be fine. Would let you keep your memory with a DDR4 board.

But if you are going DDR5 anyway:

AMD makes more sense. 7900X or 9900X today, and potentially whatever next gen AMD CPU for AM5.

Intel of course has their next gen hardware like the Ultra 9 285K and Ultra 7 265K, but it isn't better for games, but is more efficient than 14th gen. You lose hyperthreading though.

There is the potential for this Intel socket to be one and done, ie no upgrade path.

I heard the after bios update 14 gen loosing up to 10% performance, depwnds on games and tasks, in order to reduce voltage. Just wonder 10% back is around 9900x in games. Original 14700k beat easily in games the 9900x.
 
I don't think it was 10%, but a little bit of the boost behavior was reduced.

Probably another scenario where updated AMD BIOS actually closed the gap at the same time as Intel had to make minor reductions. Still, I don't really like a 250W chip in a workstation to start with.

Zen 5 is a bit newer than Raptor Lake architecture as well. 14th gen was just a clock speed refresh of 13th gen.

You could probably get away with a 9700X and be fine, less hassle only having one CCD. 265k might actually be a decent choice with the 12 E cores in addition to the 8 P cores. 9900X would get you 24 threads, but so would the 285k. i7-14700k is 28 threads, with the i9 at 32 threads, but hyperthreading really amounts to about 50% increase per core, so basically kind of counts as 4 additional cores, depending on the workload.

Probably time to start looking at benchmarks:

I looked through some 9900X and 265k ones, but basically the GPU was the greater influence in Davinci and Premiere.
