On this page, you'll find out which processor has better performance in benchmarks, games and other useful information. Gaming Benchmarks: Ryzen 7 3800XT vs Core i7-10700K. AMD has long been the budget alternative to Intel. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT: 9. Moreover, when compared to the 3700X, the 10600K might have provided a higher average frame rate but it was slightly slower when comparing 1% low performance.Those margins change slightly at 1440p, here the 10600K was 8% faster than the 3700X and 3600, while it was only 6% behind the 10700K and 10900K.When compared to Ryzen, it was 11% faster than the Ryzen 7 3700X at 1080p, which is a reasonable performance uplift. Of course, there are other benefits of the higher end Core i7 and Core i9 CPUs such as a large L3 cache, but in most games they probably won’t be that much faster. Ryzen processors were tested on the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master, 8th and 9th-gen Intel Core processors were tested on the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra, and the new 10th-gen Intel processors on the Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme.Moving over to Adobe Premiere Pro results we see that the 10600K is 6% faster than the 8700K, the same margin seen in the Chromium test. An expected result but in the grand scheme of things, not a particularly good result for Intel.The 1% low performance was 19% better than what we see with the 3rd-gen Ryzen processors, despite the more marginal difference in average frame rates. This is typically how we test Intel CPUs, such as the 9900K and this is also how the majority of Z490 boards operate out of the box.
When overclocked it can match the $400 and $500 parts, or at least get so close it doesn’t matter.
Now if motherboards stayed the same price and the i7-10700K was the same price as I remember quad-core i7s being (like $340-350, not the $410 I see on Newegg), this might be okay. That slim lead comes at a $124 (32%) premium, though, which isn't worth it for all but the performance-obsessed.AMD has left a pricing gap in its Ryzen 3000 series that it will fill soon with the Ryzen 7 3800XT, but despite that pricing advantage, the Core i7-10700K appeals to a limited cross-section of users.
That's a reasonable advantage for gaming.The Core i7-10700K is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU, same as the 9900K, but whereas the Coffee Lake part features a base clock of 3.6 GHz, the 10700K won’t drop below 3.8 GHz and as a result the TDP has been increased to 125 W. The boost clock frequency has also been increased by 100 MHz, which sees the 10700K hit 5.1 GHz.
