I’ve had both. The 8086K is indeed not much faster under load, but it is noticeably snappier in light use (ie. browsing, emailing, word processing). Thought this was worth noting!
@@smiped1569 no problem 🙂 The boost for one core is 300MHz higher than the 8700K, which I think is what makes the difference. When you start a simple app, like mail or Word, it starts out with one core, then adds one or more cores. In this first instance, the 8086K hits 5GHz and then lowers the clocks when adding cores, at which point it behaves identical to the 8700K, but then it's almost done already. It's this initial response that gives the 8086K a smidge more snapiness.
Even in 2024, i own this and it still runs great in most applications in win 11, i have no reason to upgrade! It will still run most games and do anything i throw its direction.
Hey man there is a direct die cooling tool for the 9700k/9900k which is made by der8uar, as the pcbs on the 9th Gen chips are taller, it is possible to cooler them directly with out the ihs, I would request u to cover it if possible.
Not something I can do with the 8086K in this instance as it was a borrowed review unit and sent back, could be interesting for other chips but at the same time not sure if I want to modify my own stuff, most people run them at stock so might be good to have them at stock for future comparisons.
@@JarrodsTech ok that's a fair enough argument, but the 9900k and the 9700k could be used direct die and that is the best case for cooling the Intel CPUs, was actually curious to know how low can one get in terms of temperatures when using a 9th Gen chips direct die. Anyway it seems it's not your cup of tea, good luck with the upcoming videos.
@@JarrodsTech i have a question out of subject-is it still worth it to buy a system with 4790k cpu? i know its not the latest and greatest but its very cheap 180 dollars for 4790k 16gb ram z97 and 240ssd just need some decent gpu. Your opinion?
I've never tested one myself, but that CPU still has some good value second hand so I can only assume that it's still doing a pretty decent job these days.
DIABLØ - a 4790k will still average over 60fps on ultra in AC Odyssey and that’s one of the most CPU heavy games out right now ✌️ that’s not a bad deal especially if it comes with a cooler, case and PSU or if you already have them.
Great comparison Jar.. thank you.. however i know that is your testing rig but please swap those cables ! LoL.. black is better, white will get dirty ;)
I am thinking of building mini itx but I am concerned about not being able to upgrade past 32gb of ram, what typically requires more than 32 gigs and is it dumb to go more than 32.
32gb is fine for most applications, I'd only be looking at more if you do 4K video editing often or other workstation types of workloads like 3D design etc. For gaming 32gb should be plenty for years to come.
It differs by region, here in Australia it's "caysh", because, well, there's no money in the CPU so why would it be cash 😅 forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1670154 literally at the top university in Australia in my computer science courses they told us to pronounce it how I do, so not sure what you want me to do here. They could have just been adding to the troll though 🤷🏻♂️
I have an 8086k and I ruined it months ago Overclocking it to 5.3GHz, wasn't stable, got it down to 5.1GHz stable on watercooling. but my whole system freezes up and has issues now. GG guys.
It's on the to do list, I bought the 9700K and 8600K to do those comparisons, I just need more time as it takes many days of testing to get all of the data.
You should've gone with the lowest settings instead. CPU bottleneck would've given better differentiating results. But I guess who plays with lowest settings if you have one of the best CPUs for gaming at the moment
I mean you can do it with 8700k only. As we can see from the tests, 5 vs 5.1 is none of a difference. HCC i9 CPU's tend to reach their OC peak around 4.5/4.6 also, so I want to know if there's much of a difference in gaming scenarios.
USD? Anything with an RTX 2060/GTX 1070 should be pretty good, as for more specifics I'd need to know what it's going to be used for, if you want thin/don't mind thicker etc.
Hmm for editing myself I use a Gigabyte Aero 15x, it's fairly thin, good specs but also amazing battery, one of the best I've tested. It also has an SD slot which the other thin gaming laptops are missing (MSI GS65/Razer Blade) and an ethernet port (Razer Blade does not have one). The Blade also has good battery, but costs a fair bit more. The GS65 is decent too, a cheaper Blade in my eyes, but for me the Aero has the best all round feature set.
About to watch a video on it, but to be honest I'm not really interested until I see official news, I feel like people put out fake leaked specs to over hype it, then they get upset in future when the improvements don't actually pan out.
Comprehensive and thorough review as always. Glad to find your channel. Keep it up.
Thanks!

Is this with overclock or without?

Great video man. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Josh!
@@JarrodsTech for your 8700k, did you sync all cores at 5ghz? Also what is your avx offset at? Thanks!
Should've tested Grand Theft Auto V since that game is CPU-intensive. Either way, great video!
Thanks! I don't like testing that one anymore due to a lack of built in setting presets.😰
very informative thanks man
No problem at all!
8086k has a special nostalgia to it. You would think it was a 40-year old CPU.
Maybe people will care more 40 years from now.
@@JarrodsTech i have 8086-2 :)

*so this cpu is no that special... just buy 8700k XD*
Yeah, more for those that want an Intel collectors item than best performance for the dollar.

Just got a used 8086k for 225$ lol have to tell everyone!

Thanks! Which cables? I thought all my cables were black (not currently at home so can't check!)
@@JarrodsTech Jarrod LoL.. i mean good loking cables + combs ! you know them :)

Please try to review Alienware area 51 m as soon as possible (thermals, gameplay
..etc) If possible.planning to get one really soon.
They should be getting it soon, just waiting for it to be available for me to borrow.
FYI Cache is pronounced "cash" not "caysh". Great video though.

Yea bc you didnt keep it stable lol common sense isnt so common
rip
@@JarrodsTech F to pay respects, thinking about buying another one sometime soon, I just hope I can resist OCing it again D:
Well you are a fucking idiot then
Idk, 12 TRHEADS running at 5ghz is still a super solid cpu
my acer comes with I7 8700 I don't get why is I7 8086k better
Next 8700k and 9700k plz and also include 8600k
It's on the to do list, I bought the 9700K and 8600K to do those comparisons, I just need more time as it takes many days of testing to get all of the data.
Yes that good .
I know you have to do lot of hardwork to get the info by benchmarking , etc.
Thanx for your great videos.
Keep doing this great work .
You can't even find an 8086k today unless you want to pay a ridiculous amount for it.
I admit I haven't always been following the price, just figured it always cost a fair bit more.
Lol I just bought one used for 225$! X) hustle is real
How's that compared to 9700k though.
Not sure, I haven't had time to open the 9700K I bought months ago yet, I plan on comparing with the 8700K in future though.
Basically special edition before it was called special edition
You should've gone with the lowest settings instead. CPU bottleneck would've given better differentiating results. But I guess who plays with lowest settings if you have one of the best CPUs for gaming at the moment
Yes, that was my thought 😛 I wanted it to still be somewhat practical.
At 5ghz, what is the voltage of the 8086k?
Not sure didn't run it at 5GHz so cannot say.
Had my running at 5ghz on 1.2v for some weeks just to try it. No problem
225 on load? That's very impressive for a flagship
Yeah not too bad at all
Thats a strange one. Whats the point of that. 8600K FTW
Collectors item / for pro overclockers I guess 😎
It seems like nothing more than making money just by "Limited Edition" on the box
Yeah basically, depends whether you care about it I guess.
Anybody remotely considering an 8086K might as well just pay for a 9900K.
Basically yeah.
can you do a 4.6GHz vs 5GHz test
Unfortunately not, the 8086k was sent back weeks ago so I can't do anything further with it.
I mean you can do it with 8700k only. As we can see from the tests, 5 vs 5.1 is none of a difference. HCC i9 CPU's tend to reach their OC peak around 4.5/4.6 also, so I want to know if there's much of a difference in gaming scenarios.
I can’t decide which laptop to buy i have a budget of 2k$
USD? Anything with an RTX 2060/GTX 1070 should be pretty good, as for more specifics I'd need to know what it's going to be used for, if you want thin/don't mind thicker etc.
Jarrod'sTech i want a thin portable laptop. It’s mainly going to be used for gaming,editing and school work
Jarrod'sTech please suggest me i am having a hard time to choose
Hmm for editing myself I use a Gigabyte Aero 15x, it's fairly thin, good specs but also amazing battery, one of the best I've tested. It also has an SD slot which the other thin gaming laptops are missing (MSI GS65/Razer Blade) and an ethernet port (Razer Blade does not have one). The Blade also has good battery, but costs a fair bit more. The GS65 is decent too, a cheaper Blade in my eyes, but for me the Aero has the best all round feature set.
Jarrod'sTech it’s only little editing and mostly gaming.Is it the best choice or i should consider other
I wonder which users that CPU is targeted for.
Collectors / pro overclocks is my guess.
For ppl that cares for lower temps and Higher oc. It does The job much better than 8700k
Lol, dont think u can get 300fps in overwatch anymore
I got 300 FPS in overwatch on a laptop yesterday at low and medium settings.
I would go with the 8700K why spend extra for such minimal gain.. Thanks for the video.
No problem!
Not minimal gain at all. If u care about temps and Higher oc.
Great 👍
Cheers!
I think that people bought 8086K $50 more for 2 "special" sheets only, at least I did it... :(
Ah well, collectors item!
Have you seen the leaked specs for ryzen third gen? They are absolutely insane. Intel is about to lose their place in first!!!!
About to watch a video on it, but to be honest I'm not really interested until I see official news, I feel like people put out fake leaked specs to over hype it, then they get upset in future when the improvements don't actually pan out.
Jarrod'sTech yeah I hope they are actually good
Welp that didn't happen ryzen 3 is good but still behind Intel
8700 seems better in terms of value
Yeah definitely
You're kinda late tho 😂
I can only make things when companies offer to send them out, being a small channel in Australia that is often not day 1 of a product release 😉
