Notes

The Core i7-9700KF offers 8 cores and 8 threads with unlocked multiplier minus integrated graphics on Coffee Lake Refresh. Boosting up to 4.9 GHz, it delivers excellent gaming performance identical to the 9700K at reduced cost. The lack of hyperthreading didn't significantly impact gaming performance while potentially reducing latency. Despite being 9th gen without SMT, it remains capable for modern gaming. Often available at attractive pricing for users with discrete GPUs seeking strong gaming performance and overclocking potential without hyperthreading overhead.
