Question i5 8600K vs i7 8700K

[bthelegend]

Hey there! Can anyone answer why there is less bottleneck for a i5 8600K for a GTX 1070 GPU compared to the i7 8700K?

My source of calculation is here: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i5-8600K/GeForce_GTX_1070/0O00UNlu/

PC part picker also says it is compatible.

Why is it so? And would that be wise to do?

Many thanks in advance!

I have no idea. The calculator could be wrong. The i7 is a lot better than the i5. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-8600K/3937vs3941

6c/12t (and at higher clock speeds, no less) over 6c/6t all day long...
