[SOLVED] i7 2600k vs i3 9100f

[thekillerx10]

So i have got too options for my build all are used
i3 9100f,h310,8gb cl12 2666

i7 2600k,thermaltake nic c4(better than 212 evo),z77 and i already have the ram

The i3 build would be 25$ more, i have done some researches and i can overclock this 2600k to 4.7 ghz with this cooler

which i found 2600k 4.7 ghz is better than 9100f so should i go with it? main purpose is gaming tho

4 cores no matter the gen are core challenged now. 2600k for sure.

Though if you could sell the i3 and get an i7 8700 to replace it, that would be pretty good too.

thanks for helping me again you helped me building my main rig and now you helped in a friend build : )

No problem. You were the guy posting about x58 mobo. How'd that all go? Your thread got locked because a spammer got to it.

Yea im the guy posting about x58, i ended up buying 2600k overclocking it to 4.7 ghz and 16 gb of ram

Nice 👍

What's your single thread performance like? Because the i3 was 20% faster stock for stock:

Was the overclock able to do that much more?

 

[thekillerx10]

Cinebench r15 results for 2600k 4.7 ghz (multi core/single core)

789/170

Looks like the 2600k outperforms the i3 in multicore but i3 outperform in single core

and i think the 4 more threads is what makes the 2600k a better choice than i3 because games started to utilize more cores and threads

 

[thekillerx10]

wait i just tested it now again and it gave me this results

830/168

Idk what is happening did i got free performance or something?

Test it a few more times and compare them. Test results can vary just by the nature of testing.

I'm curious if a 4.7Ghz clock on these starts hitting close to (or beats) the 9100f's single thread because thats a solid boost and I've got 2x 2600k and one 3770k that I haven't pushed at all yet.

they are pretty close in single core
i saw someone that gets 178 on single core while my i7 gets 170

so pretty close, but the i7 beats it by 150 in multicore

 

[SamirD]

That's pretty awesome. I bet my 3770k at 4.7Ghz would be right up there with the 9100f, except again more cores.

Quad cpus are pretty much obsolete nowadays, and hexa cores are at the point now they too are facing the same fate. i7s from yesteryear are still hanging in there.
