What’s even more impressive is Intel’s latest part beat the pants off its predecessor in all our single-core tests, too.

This chip soundly overtook AMD’s competing Ryzen 7 1700X in Geekbench 4, with a score several thousands of points higher – by extension, this makes the previous-generation Intel Core i7-7700K’s multi-core numbers look like a joke. Intel Core i7-8700K proves Team Blue is still the top dog in the processor world. Coffee Lake is a clear improvement over Kaby Lake with impressively higher single-core and multi-core numbers, and ever-so-slightly better gaming performance. What’s more, the staggering hyper-threading performance puts it well above AMD’s octo-core Ryzen processors and even into the realm of some high-end desktop (HEDT) parts.

Processor Number

One of the main advantages the Core i7-8700 has over the Core i5-9600K is the fact it supports Intel's Hyper Threading technology, giving it 12 threads to deal with your PC's various tasks and instructions instead of six. This effectively gives it much better multi-tasking potential for when you're running CPU intensive applications such as photo and video editing software, as more threads a CPU has, the more hands it's got to stuff all that juicy data into the CPU's mouth, if you catch my drift.
