Question What is the 8 core speed of 9700 non K

[bamj6]

I want to know because I'm wondering if an upgrade will be worth it from an 8500. Also for Red Dead Redemption 2

All core should be it's base clock of 3GHz. Even though it's a locked chip, you should be able to increase that either in the BIOS or by enabling the "high performance" power plan in Windows - I don't think you'll sustain 4.7GHz though.

As far as an "upgrade" goes, is RDR2 maxing out your 8500? If not, then it's not likely to make much of a difference.

I don't know because it's not out yet.

🤣 My bad.

No sense considering an upgrade until you determine how your existing hardware performs.
