Review on Intel Core i7-10700KF 8-Core Desktop Processor - Unlocked, LGA1200, up to 5.1 GHz, 125W without Processor Graphics. by Angie Williams

I chose this AMD 5800X processor over the newer Intel 11700K because I wanted to save some money. Back then, the 5800X and 11700k cost around $400. I paid $290 for this processor. And at 4K, I would get the same performance from this processor as I would from a 5800X or 11700K. If I was doing a lot of things other than gaming, I'd probably go for the 5800X, but since it was primarily for gaming, I wanted to save a few bucks. It's 2021 and I don't really want to wait for 12th gen Intel Alder Lake or AMD Zen 4, so I decided to build a new system in early August. I'm missing PCI-e 4.0 support, but for GPU performance, I've seen in the past that PCI-e bandwidth has little impact on GPU performance. The only thing I'm missing is support for faster SSDs. But I went with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus, which is the fastest PCI-e 3.0 SSD you can get and I'm very impressed with its performance. In the future, in 2022 or later, if I really feel like I need a PCI-e 4.0 SSD, I'll upgrade to an 11th Gen processor and sell that 10th Gen. I hooked this processor up to a Z590 motherboard, so there is an upgrade path. But I will only do that if the 11700K is under $300. I love the fact that the 10700K has a faster clock and in games it makes a huge difference. So for now I'm happy with my purchase and my performance. PCI-e 4.0 support wasn't on my priority list, but I wanted to save a few bucks, so I'm glad I could get a fast 8-core processor for less than $300. At this price I would definitely recommend this processor to anyone.
