Thank you. That link assumes the 8700K is running at 3.7GHz - any idea if there is still that much improvement given that mine is running at 5GHz?

- rowanG077 5y agoThe stock 8700k boosts upto 4.7 Ghz. I don't think your extra 300Mhz will make that much of a difference.
- bytehowl 5y agoTBH, there are people way more qualified in this area than I, but AFAIK Intel CPUs run at the turbo speed as long as they have sufficient cooling, and the benchmarks run at maximum performance available, which would be 4.7GHz in this case. Therefore, the benchmarks should be pretty close to your OC. You could verify this theory by running the benchmark yourself.
- alasdair_ 5y agoGood to know - thank you! Edit: I did and you are right. I’m about 10% higher than the benchmark but still WAY below the i9-12900KS (by 25% single threaded) Time to upgrade :)
- t0mas88 5y agoI had an i5 9600k that ran 5ghz all cores, and swapped to the i7 12700k. The i7 is still a lot faster out of the box and I undervolted it a bit while running at 5.1 ghz so it's also very quiet.
- alasdair_ 5y agoI benchmarked it. I get a score of 3068 for single-threaded performance, which is around 10% faster than the stock 8700K stats but it’s still 25% below the i-9 12900KS. I guess it’s time to upgrade :)
