So do you guys/gals think the 8700k is still a relative processor for gaming and productivity vs. price ratio given Zen2 is right around the corner? Seriously though for productivity I have a 2950x so I am not too worried there.
Is there anything Intel is going to do or have immediately following Zen 2 7nm in a few months?
I used to own one and sold it over a year ago, kind of miss it, but I understand the price is lower now than the 9700k and the 9700k is actually slower due to having less threads overall than the 8700k.
I was thinking of picking one up but not sure since Zen2 might be slightly to significantly faster being a brand new tech and process. I want to push my rtx2080ti to the limit and I dont think that the added expense of a 9700 or 9900k makes a difference at all.
Just a thread of curiosity and nothing more.
I am not up to speed on Intel in as much as some of you are as far as what is around the bend to be released.
