Based on our evaluation, the 9700's 4.70 GHz single-core max turbo boost frequency is excellent for performance with the latest graphics-intense games. You can maintain these frequencies with a high-end cooler.

Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction. However, if you're doing media creation, AMD is still the way to go. In the Cinebench multi-threaded test, the 9700K manages a score of 1,463 points to the 2700X's 1,798. However, in Handbrake, Intel slightly pulls ahead with 66 fps to AMD's 61.

April 5, 2011 . Retrieved March 14, 2020. Max Turbo Frequency refers to the maximum single-core processor frequency that can be achieved with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/ for more information and applicability of this technology. Even though the Intel Core i7-9700K drops hyper-threading, it still manages to beat the 8700K, thanks to a higher TDP , or Thermal Design Power, and boosted single-thread performance. However, it fails to hold a candle to AMD's offerings in most multi-threaded workloads. System and Maximum TDP is based on worst case scenarios. Actual TDP may be lower if not all I/Os for chipsets are used.

The processor has a 3.00 GHz base frequency and supports a 4.70 GHz single-core max turbo frequency.All models support up to DDR5-5600 or DDR4-3200 memory, and 16 lanes of PCI Express 5.0 + 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0.

Equipped with 8-cores and 8-threads, the Intel Core i7-9700K is a bit of an oddity compared to its predecessor. Next to 2017's Intel Core i7-8700K, this new chip has two more cores but four fewer threads. The Intel Core i7-9700 supports up to 128 gigabytes of type DDR4 Memory with up to 2666 Megahertz. ECC-RAM, so memory with automatic error correction, does not support the processor. Intel Launches 10th Generation 10nm 'Ice Lake' Mobility Processors - Led By Core i7 1068G7 Flagship With 3.6 GHZ All Core Boost All models support: SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Speed Shift Technology (SST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost, AES-NI, IPU6 (except SRLFR) , TB4, Smart Cache, Thread Director, DL Boost, and GNA 3.0.All models support up to DDR5-5200, LPDDR5-6400, DDR4-3200, or LPDDR4X-4266 memory, and 20 lanes of PCI Express 4.0/3.0. Description of the processorThe 8 cores equipped intel Core i7-9700 comes from the ninth generation of Intels Core-i7 series. The processor was released in the second quarter of 2019 and is based on the Coffee Lake Refresh architecture. All processors of this architecture are manufactured in 14-nanometer. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details. All models except the i7-4770K additionally supported Intel TSX-NI at launch, but support was disabled in later stepping and microcode updates, due to the incorrect implementation, that could not be solved by microcode without hurting performance or fixing it fully.

See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html?wapkw=hyper+threading for more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology. All models support: SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit (an NX bit implementation), Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Hyper-threading, Turbo Boost 3.0 (2.0 for embedded), AES-NI, Smart Cache, Thread Director, DL Boost, GNA 3.0, and Optanememory. All models support up to DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory, and 16 lanes of PCI Express 5.0 + 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0. For instance, in Cinebench R15, the 9700K managed to score 203 points in the single-core test, compared to the 8700K's 193. This translates over to gaming performance, too, with the 9700K scoring 125 frames per second (fps) in Middle Earth Shadow of War at 1080p to the 8700K's 121. That's not a massive bump in gaming performance, but it's a bump nonetheless.

We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores.
