Will there be a noticeable performance boost when replacing the i5 8500 with the i5 9600kf?

Question

Iron

I'm thinking of changing i5 8500 to i5 9600kf (mother to B360, I also plan to change to Z, but later), the computer is used as a multimedia gaming computer. Is there any point to this action?

Answer 1

There is no point :

Only a replacement for 9900K will give a significant increase, everything else is a waste of money.

Answer 2

Hello.
It depends on what video card and monitor resolution you have.

Answer 3

It will only make sense if the processor with a new, more powerful cooler is given for free.

Answer 4

Depends on tasks.
For example, in applications where multi-core is well used, the difference can be felt in the render, provided that you use all the advantages of the "K" index (overclocking in frequencies of all cores, fast memory, increasing the thermal package, a cooler with a margin on heat pipes). If you render professionally in 3D, or encode video, then there will be a gain and you will be able to render more in the same time, which may make commercial sense.
In single-core applications, such as AutoCAD, you can also overclock, but ONLY a couple of cores, but up to 4.7 GHz. Visually, there will be a difference, but hardly noticeable.
For games, it makes no sense.
Better look for other ways to optimize. For example, buying a fast NVMe SSD.
