Core i7 5960X and i7 8700K vs Phenom II X6 1090T BE

Phenom II c6 and i7-8700K in many test eg there: https://www.sweclockers.com/test/244...lake/8#content

Thanks for that link. It is nice that someone has tested old processors and also compared to Coffee Lake. It seems that 8700K is 2-3x faster than Phenom II X6 1090T BE (usually 3x). In Battlefield 1 the difference is big - 82 FPS on Phenom avg and 225 FPS on 8700K. I could say that the uprage from AMD Leo to Coffee Lake is great So the GTX1060 was bottleneckled on my Phenom II X6 1090T. Also in Total War Warhammer we have big difference Phenoms avg 98 and 8700K 258. These are big difference in games, usually many thinks that GPU matter only but... But yea, CPU is very important also.

But still, AMD Thuban has always place on my heart. Easy chip to get 4Ghz and has OK multicore performance. Great chip and awesome cpu for AM2+ board.

There was 6900K = 5960X also in some test.

So maybe we can say that 8700K is something like 3x faster in multicore and in singlecore +2x.
