Great video and exactly what I was wondering. I have an 8700k and was wondering if it was time to upgrade. I think I’ll wait an see what the new cpus look like next year.
This analysis is bad because no testing with core overclock (at 5.0ghz all cores for example)and no testing in complete cpu bottleneck situations. Also no testing with gpus other than 3090, for example 3070, which is more suitable for 1080p/1440p resolutions.

I'm using a 8700K + 1060 combo for 5 years now. For 1080P gaming, even the latest titles cause no issues. They are pretty playable in High - Max settings. The only missing feature is Ray Tracing, which I'm not sure if it is even worth. Lads with 3060s tell me that they keep it turned off. Donno...
I’m personally not a fan of DLSS (even 2.0 with its improvements over 1.0) as for my eyes it seems to put a little bit of smearing over the image and I also personally don’t like that it has to be paired with TAA for the most part. I’d rather just play at native resolution or deal with the aliasing at lower resolutions.

I went from the 7700k to the 11700k right after they announced the 12th gen processors. Why would I do such a thing? For starters the 11700k went from 400 to 320 usd, and I didn't have to replace my ram or AIO. After experiencing the DDR3 to DDR4 transition, I remembered the pricing and limited availability, and during that time the market was far more stable. I think I made the right call and from these charts the 11700k(at 320USD) was a damn good upgrade. Great Video!
I finally upgraded to the i7 12700k from my old i7 7700k. The old i7 was a beast for a long time, but all those extra cores/threads of the newer i7 are so nice to have. Also upgraded from my 1080 FE to a 3080ti FE

Just recently found your channel while hunting laptop reviews. Managed to pick one up in the BF sales. Got the Legion 5, however was only able to get the 1650, 8GB RAM, Ryzen model due to finance constraints. The 3060 was about twice the price here in the UK. Wanted to do some really basic video editing to start to learn it. After watching your upgrade video i have went and got some extra RAM for it. Your reviews certainly helped. Thanks. For what its worth you gained another sub!
Thats only true if Windows hold a similar cycle, if windows comes up with windows 12 tomorrow and force only 2yr old cpu to compatible then its an issue
Great comparison of real performance increases gen over gen. Upgrading to 12th gen for production workloads is very good but for gaming, upgrading from 8th and 9th gen is worthwhile...but stick with 10th and 11th for gaming at 1440p and above..Though the 8700K is still a great CPU, loved mine and overclocks very well especially delidded!
Do you think it's worth upgrading the 8400 to a used 8700k for $230 in order to sit on it for another 2-3 years? or to build a completely new system on the 12th generation for $350+? 8400 is not enough to work with 3d
Excellent video! I'm on 8700k and considering upgrading, Perfect video for me ;) Maybe sometime next year if gpus become more reasonably available, I might do a complete system overhaul.
@@romainprovost7164 They definetely will. Like they did in 2018. As for 8700k. You can add at least 20% to its results if you overclock it. Probably closer to 30%. Because stock clocks are pathetic (3700Mhz) So the difference would not be as drastic. Especially in games. But its a good upgrade nevertheless.
@@romainprovost7164 Depends what normal prices are in ur opinion. The rtx 3000 Series would normally be cheaper than the rtx 2000 was, will they drop to that price? I dont think so. But the prices are already dropping and will drop further. But the prices will stay 20-30% higher for years than before the shortage (Becaue the shortage wont disappear in 2022 and 2023) After the shortage the prices could drop extrem, if Intel, AMD, NVIDA have 2 compete with each other, and innosilicon is trying to get into the GPU marktet. So i think in 2025 the situation will be much better than today. If the supplier (for waver etc) can fullfill the demand the prices could drop even to prices 10years ago, Cloudgaming could also cause a drop.
I have one PC with a i7 9700k and one with a i5 9600k and I love them both. Never had issues, playing, streaming, rendering stuff, it's all super fast. For me there is no reason to upgrade in the next 5+ years even tho the values in this comparison video show that especially the 12. gen is super fast.
Almost 2x more performance after 5 generations is good. Back during the Intel monopoly days, the difference between 2600k vs 7700k was nowhere near as big lmao
Haven't seen anyone else do a direct comparison like this.. much appreciated. I especially appreciate the gaming benchmarks at 2 different resolutions, the results are very informative and helped me confirm my decision to prioritize my GPU upgrade over CPU. Thank you for this video.
could you please also do this with the i5's? since there is quite a difference between the two. it would be awesome to see how the lower end of the spectrum stack up against the mid-high range i7's.
Very nice breakdown I appreciate this. I'm on a 8700k, 32Gb of DDR4 3600 and M2 drives with a 1080TI pushing a 32 inch Samsung cured 1440p monitor, it runs like a champ but those productivity gains seem to be calling me. Maybe I'll hold out until next fall since I can't get a GPU anyways... been on a list for 10 months!
still rocking my 8700k and 1080ti @ 1440p only a few games struggle with this setup, things like flight sim and 7 days to die struggle hard. Still after almost 5 years still not bad! Tempting to buy a new GPU since prices have tanked.... but still not sure as mine works great still for the games i play. Valorant, CsGO, Skyrim, Fallout ect. As long as my MOBO holds up wouldn't be surprised to still have this set up for another 3 years.
I have both i7-8700 and i7-12700. the 12700's performance jump is indeed huge, especially when using my Adobe and Blender. Meanwhile for the i7-8700, I still think it can still kick until 2025 since most games use GPU anyways. Games only utilize the CPU when loading 3D models and Animations.
Another mega test compilation, awesome work. Ya improvements are constant but not enough to justify upgrades from one gen to the immediate next one, rather wait two or three gen to upgrade provided you actually notice the lag and rather prioritise upgrading gpu for more significant gaming improvements
This video made me realize my i7 8700k is still good for my 3070 ti at 1440p resolution. To be honest the low % fps are way more important when benchmarking cpu's
I went from i7 6700K to i7 12700K on DDR4 and the difference is stunning even if comapring to overcloked 6700K to 4.5GHz. I decided that 6 years paid off the value of 6700K and have no regrets.
Its wat less stable.. ive upgraded from 8700k to 10700k and than 12700k. Its feels a lot better and less drops and weird stutters what i did had with the 8700k...
It seems it might finally be time to upgrade my 8700k... or wait for one more year for the P+E core setup to mature a bit. Great and very informative video!
I went from oc 8086k at 5.3ghz all cores to 9900kf at 5ghz all cores. It wasn't too expensive as the resale on the 8086k was solid and my mobo could do both chips. I cannot* see a reason to go beyond my 9900kf at the moment. I guess it all depends on what u use the PC for. Gaming looks hard to justify the upgrade.
This is a brilliant analysis and exactly what I was looking for! Subscribed. I hope you continue doing this form of testing, as I'll be sitting on my 10700k until I see some compelling reasons to upgrade for gaming at 1600p ultrawide resolutions.
Nah your good m8 I got the same setup there and it worked good it does bottle neck a bit but only fps wise, no stutters or anything bad like that just lower frames 👍🏼
Same here Harry, time flies! I upgraded my 7700k to an I9 10850k recently, actually cost me the same as the 7700k did then. It was worth it, and don't have crazy temp spikes anymore, except running the i910850k in tmp, 100c instantly on a Noctua dh15 😂. Halo infinite uses 15% of the new cpu, never goes past 70c on the most taxing games, idles at 27-30 c in Windows high performance power mode.
This was very helpful. I've got the non k version of the i7 8700 and I've just upgraded to a 6800xt. It looks as though I should be okay to step up to 1440p triple a gaming This video would've taken ages to make. Thank you
The beauty of the 8700K is that it is the last generation that can be delidded. I run mine a 5ghz undervolted with a relatively small Noctua cooler and it runs cool.

I went from a 9600k to a 12600k. The improvement is absolutely noticeable. I never thought I would notice the lack of hyper-threading but I did. 12600k, purrs like a kitten, temps are the same or lower... and Minecraft runs better than ever (with mods). It won't be a night & day sitch, like if you went from a i5-3470 to an i5-9600K (i did this), more like a noon to afternoon difference but definitely noticeable and welcome. Hope you love the 12700k. BTW, 13th gen will be out next year. It should see some improvements in comparison to the 12600k. I'm thinking of buying the 13600k or 13700k and donating the 12600k just to be on the bleeding edge.
@@theramblingmillennial3770 Did you get big fps improvements in yout games? I'm upgrading from 3770k to 12700k in a few weeks. I can play every new game quite fine due to my 1080 but i get like fps drops to 5 or 1 fps in World of Warcraft in some fighting situations took me a while to dig around i found out my card throttles to 1 watt usage at that time so i figured it has to be the cpu which is bottlenecking the gpu although i never go above 70% usage. That's the main reason why i upgrade. When i can't even play my maingame smoothly anymore its def. the time to upgrade.
@@williehrmann I didn't necessarily gain huge improvements as far as average FPS but I did gain frame consistency. It's ridiculous how much consistent it is now. I hadn't noticed any frame drops in the games I play since the upgrade. I can say with all honesty, it will be night and day for you since you're coming from a 3rd gen though. Plus I play @ 1440p, so there has been a definite improvement from 9th gen to 12th. I will say that I so missed my 3rd gen PC though. I did all sorts of experiments with it. Don't get rid of the 3770k though. Turn it into a hackintosh station or make it a server with unRAID, freenas, promox, or something similar. It will still be useful for at least a few more generations.
I’ve got a system with a 10700K running rock solid at 5.3 GHz with a 3080 ti at 1440p, and was looking at upgrading to a 12th gen, but man - the advantages are sooo small in gaming.
Yea don't do it. Wait at least another generation so that software/games are developed to utilize ddr5 better as well. As long as you keep your gpu at its limits then the cpu choice will hardly matter at all. Cost in general in a year or so will also be far better than current prices for a 12th gen system with new mobo and ddr5 scalper prices :s
Was going to do an upgrade from a 7700 to a 12700, but after watching this ill just get a 11700 to save a lot of money on the DDR4 motherboard (DDR5 ram out of stock and so expensive). I just use it to play games and browse. Thanks for the video
Good roundup, especially since all of these are capable of going up to Windows 11 if you want to and anything before is officially not supported. Despite all the infinity 14nm+++++++ gaming performance memes (at the expense of more power), there were some genuine IPC gains for productivity albeit nothing as drastic as the huge shift on Alder Lake when Intel finally hit both their "ancient" Tik and Tok cycle at once.
9700k performs better than 8700k because it has 2 more physical cores. 10th gen performs better than 9th gen because of more cache and 11th gen has basically the same performance as 10th gen... 12th gen is finally a bigger improvement.. . so there was no real IPC gain made to the architecture itself. they literally just increased clockspeed and cache amount. amd will do the same with ryzen v cache soon..
@@muhammadazissetiabudi1228 yea we can see how much more ipc the 11th gen has when it scores lower fps in gaming in many titles xD gamers nexus didnt call the 11700k a waste of sand for no reason.
@@SweatyFeetGirl i mean for aplication not only games, even 12 gen didn't give you a massive jump in fps. Gn talking 11 th gen i7 waste of sand for their msrp. Look at the current price before amd cut their 5800x. You can have 11700f for a less money than 5600x
yes 9700k is very good i use it for gaming stydying and some multitasking it has no problem handling most things sadly i have a stupid gtx 1060 6gb .....
Amazing! I still use an 8700K and that's very compelling for me to get a 12700K seeing a 2x perf boost! However I'm not interested in Windows 11 yet and I think I will wait for future products too. I'm dissatisfied with the gaming perf tho.
The human has a hard time observing the difference from 10 milliseconds from 20 milliseconds ! Save your money as there are big hardware changes coming in the next 3 years that will make 12th gen obsolete.
@@Garth2011 I'm sorry, what? If you're talking about gaming - 20ms is 50fps and 10ms is 100fps. Even 50fps>60fps (20ms>16.6ms) is quite noticable, let alone 20ms>10ms or 50fps>100fps. Surely you weren't talking about gaming and i just misunderstood..
Der8auer just made a video comparing the 12900K and 5950X in power efficiency during gaming, check it out. The 12900K is quite a bit more efficient than the 5950X while being quite a lot faster in some games. You can also look at igorlabs' FPS per watt data for the 12700K or the 12600K, which are even more efficient than the already-efficient 12900K.
@@Luka_Nogalo the 11th generation is released merely 6 months before the 12th generation. A half generation is going to perform like a half generation. May I remind you Intel increased core counts by 50% going from the 7700k to the 8700k? Isn't competition nice.

Happy to help, hope it goes well!
The 4 year upgrade cycle for PC seems to hold up for general usage. For gaming, maybe 6-7 years for the CPU
Most people just need a storage upgrade. Chrome and word are all io not CPU bound
My 6950x still work fine ,3.5ghz for 10 cores 20threads at 3.5 ghz is still a beast
Thats only true if Windows hold a similar cycle, if windows comes up with windows 12 tomorrow and force only 2yr old cpu to compatible then its an issue
Shouldnt it be the other way round, for general use 6-7 years and 4 years for gaming?
@@DEANluxray its depend,if you use a hedt cpus ,6 7 years is normal but i3 will struggle
Best comparisons are from Jarrod, period.
Great comparison of real performance increases gen over gen. Upgrading to 12th gen for production workloads is very good but for gaming, upgrading from 8th and 9th gen is worthwhile...but stick with 10th and 11th for gaming at 1440p and above..Though the 8700K is still a great CPU, loved mine and overclocks very well especially delidded!
Do you think it's worth upgrading the 8400 to a used 8700k for $230 in order to sit on it for another 2-3 years? or to build a completely new system on the 12th generation for $350+? 8400 is not enough to work with 3d
@Jonathan Hoffman As a result, my whole upgrade turned into a move to a new platform 12600k / Z690 + RTX 3070😅
I’ve been looking forever for a vid like this. Thank you
Glad I could help
Just remember that cpu tests were conducted using RTX 3090. If someone has RTX 3070 or lower the differences should be marginal, even at 1080p.
this is the main takeaway
100% the takeaway.
Did the productivity tests go over your head or something? It would hardly be minimal even with a lower tier gpu, period.
The 8700K and 12700K were some of the best Intel CPU launches ever
The 12700K is literally the best desktop i7 K chip since Sandy Bridge. The perfomance per watt is crazy.
Excellent video! I'm on 8700k and considering upgrading, Perfect video for me ;) Maybe sometime next year if gpus become more reasonably available, I might do a complete system overhaul.
GPU become more reasonably available in 2022 ? Sorry man but i don't think so at all... Normal prices never come back
@@romainprovost7164 They definetely will. Like they did in 2018.
As for 8700k. You can add at least 20% to its results if you overclock it. Probably closer to 30%. Because stock clocks are pathetic (3700Mhz) So the difference would not be as drastic. Especially in games. But its a good upgrade nevertheless.
@@romainprovost7164 Depends what normal prices are in ur opinion.
The rtx 3000 Series would normally be cheaper than the rtx 2000 was, will they drop to that price? I dont think so.
But the prices are already dropping and will drop further.
But the prices will stay 20-30% higher for years than before the shortage (Becaue the shortage wont disappear in 2022 and 2023)
After the shortage the prices could drop extrem, if Intel, AMD, NVIDA have 2 compete with each other, and innosilicon is trying to get into the GPU marktet.
So i think in 2025 the situation will be much better than today.
If the supplier (for waver etc) can fullfill the demand the prices could drop even to prices 10years ago, Cloudgaming could also cause a drop.

Great review. Have a 9900K and primarily game at 4K or 1440P with a 3080- don't really need a 12700K other than I just want it lol
@Phoenix I know but I already have ddr5, a z690, cooler, and 12700k on the way.
I have one PC with a i7 9700k and one with a i5 9600k and I love them both. Never had issues, playing, streaming, rendering stuff, it's all super fast. For me there is no reason to upgrade in the next 5+ years even tho the values in this comparison video show that especially the 12. gen is super fast.
9700k is a underrated Beast
Yes but new one are more power hungry . So it’s still cheaper to be on older generations

Almost 2x more performance after 5 generations is good. Back during the Intel monopoly days, the difference between 2600k vs 7700k was nowhere near as big lmao

Great job, can only imagine what an immense job this was.
I have both i7-8700 and i7-12700. the 12700's performance jump is indeed huge, especially when using my Adobe and Blender. Meanwhile for the i7-8700, I still think it can still kick until 2025 since most games use GPU anyways. Games only utilize the CPU when loading 3D models and Animations.
Another mega test compilation, awesome work. Ya improvements are constant but not enough to justify upgrades from one gen to the immediate next one, rather wait two or three gen to upgrade provided you actually notice the lag and rather prioritise upgrading gpu for more significant gaming improvements
This video made me realize my i7 8700k is still good for my 3070 ti at 1440p resolution. To be honest the low % fps are way more important when benchmarking cpu's

The beauty of the 8700K is that it is the last generation that can be delidded. I run mine a 5ghz undervolted with a relatively small Noctua cooler and it runs cool.
Do you think it's worth upgrading the 8400 to a used 8700k for $230 in order to sit on it for another 2-3 years? or to build a completely new system on the 12th generation for $350+? 8400 is not enough to work with 3d
Upgrading from my 8700 (non-k) to a 12700k this month. I'm pretty stoked to see the improvements! :D
I went from a 9600k to a 12600k. The improvement is absolutely noticeable. I never thought I would notice the lack of hyper-threading but I did. 12600k, purrs like a kitten, temps are the same or lower... and Minecraft runs better than ever (with mods). It won't be a night & day sitch, like if you went from a i5-3470 to an i5-9600K (i did this), more like a noon to afternoon difference but definitely noticeable and welcome. Hope you love the 12700k. BTW, 13th gen will be out next year. It should see some improvements in comparison to the 12600k. I'm thinking of buying the 13600k or 13700k and donating the 12600k just to be on the bleeding edge.

Yea don't do it. Wait at least another generation so that software/games are developed to utilize ddr5 better as well.

Good roundup, especially since all of these are capable of going up to Windows 11 if you want to and anything before is officially not supported.
Despite all the infinity 14nm+++++++ gaming performance memes (at the expense of more power), there were some genuine IPC gains for productivity albeit nothing as drastic as the huge shift on Alder Lake when Intel finally hit both their "ancient" Tik and Tok cycle at once.
9700k performs better than 8700k because it has 2 more physical cores. 10th gen performs better than 9th gen because of more cache and 11th gen has basically the same performance as 10th gen... 12th gen is finally a bigger improvement.. . so there was no real IPC gain made to the architecture itself. they literally just increased clockspeed and cache amount. amd will do the same with ryzen v cache soon..

Everyone hates on 11th gen but it seems to have crushed 10th gen in every metric.
Amazing! I still use an 8700K and that's very compelling for me to get a 12700K seeing a 2x perf boost! However I'm not interested in Windows 11 yet and I think I will wait for future products too. I'm dissatisfied with the gaming perf tho.
Coming from 4790 it was tempting as well. It gives around 3x performance boost, although I think of using this PC for few more years
The human has a hard time observing the difference from 10 milliseconds from 20 milliseconds ! Save your money as there are big hardware changes coming in the next 3 years that will make 12th gen obsolete.

Curious to see the power draw under gaming load and see how well the E-cores lowers the power draw compared to 11th gen.
