The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for its core/thread assignment, feeling like a departure from a decade's worth of hyperthreaded i7 CPUs. The oddest aspect of the change was not the 9700K itself, but its predecessor: Intel had just moved to 6C/12T on the 8700K, a fierce and competitive upgrade from the 7700K's 4C/8T configuration, but has now regressed to an 8C/8T part. It's a mid-step. With two more physical cores and a boost in frequency, the part will undoubtedly do well in gaming -- the question is just whether the value is there, especially with a price-hike to over $400 on the new i7, up from the $350 range on the 8700K. Further still, the 9700K drops four threads, which have proved advantageous in some workloads.
