Intel Core i5 10600k, the best gaming processor?

Intel Core i5 10600k, the best gaming processor?

Intel has released their 10th generation Core i5 processor i5 10600k.
It is basically coming to fight against high level processors like Raizen 5/7 processor like 3600X and Raizen 7 3700X. It costs 262. Which in Bangladesh maybe we will get it in 27/28 thousand rupees. (And the version without F version or internal GPU we can get for 237 $, 25 thousand rupees in Bangladesh.
After the mid-range, it is an important range in which users buy processors for heavy productivity work and for intense gaming or both.

Brief Specifications:

Cores/threads	Frequency	Cache Memory	Lithography	PCie	TDP	Price
6/12	4.1/4.8	12MB	14nm	3.0	125W	262$

What's in it?

Intel Core i5 10600k comes with 6cores, 12 threads, 12 MB cache memory. Clock speed we can see very high, base clock 4.1 GHz and there is a chance to boost it up to 4.8ghz. TDP 125 watts. This processor is also built on Intel 14 nanometer architecture.

Details Benchmarking:

We can find out how powerful a processor is in a pen on paper in two types of tests, we divide these two tests into gaming and productivity, these two parts in bold.
First, we will come to productivity where we can get an idea of ​​how fast the processor can do the video, image rendering, video export, editing, compressing, decompressing, code compiling, logo making, how fast these scores are in the relevant software...

Productivity Performance:

Cinebench R20: (multicore):

Cinebench R20(multicore)

Here the score of 10600k is 3566 as opposed to 487 of r7 3700x, 3956 of r5 2700x, 3746 of r5 3600.

Singlecore:

Cinebench R20(single core)

Here it is seen that this new processor from Intel is slightly behind the r5 3600 and far behind the 3700x. Even the ryzen 3 released at almost half the price has a score of 3300x and more here than the intel core i5 10600k.

Intel's new processor has 483 versus 485 of r5 3600, 504 of r3 3300x and 510 of r7 3700x. The beginning was not good.

7-ZIP (decompression):

7-ZIP(decompression)

The core i5 10600k lags far behind the r5 3600 by a large margin here, so to speak, and the Ryzen 5 scores less than 2600. And the Rival 3700x is about a whopping 40% behind.

The r7 has managed to score only 56649 against the 93422 of the 3700x, the 77098 of the r7 2700x and the 70989 of the r5 3600.

But here it is seen that our new Intel processor lags far behind the r5 3600. The newly launched 12/13 thousand has a score of 3300x and more here.
3300x has 14.70 (gb / s), r5 2600 has 16.97 (gb / s), r5 3600 has 17.28 (gb / s) and r7 3700x has 20.07 (gb / s). Intel's score there is 'only' 13.04 (gb / s)

Blender open beta:

Blender Open Beta

This is the first time we've seen our Unbeatable ryzen 5 3600 overtake Intel Core i5 for the first time. Although 3700x, back from 2700x. The task took 3600 to complete 1338s, while the intel core i5 10600k took 1282 seconds. 972s and 1132s at 3700x and 2700x respectively

Vray benchmark:

V-Ray Benchmark

But many ryzen processors have been left behind by the players of this tenth generation of Intel. It turns out that 3600, 3300x scores 10k and 8000,7000 as opposed to 10366 scores. Although the score of 3700x is 13494

Corona benchmark:

Corona 1.3 Benchmark

Here too the r5 3600 to i5 10600k is 10 seconds ahead
But in terms of price, the competitor is still significantly behind the ryzen 7 3700x.

Code compile:

Chromium Code Compile

It could not beat the r5 3600 here. About 1000 seconds back. 2500 seconds behind 3700x. The Core i5 10600k took 8544seconds in this test

Davinci studio:

Davinci Resolve Studio 16

Failed to overtake 3700x, 2700x, 3600 here too. Score 3700x 1062,2700x Score 979,3600 Score 961. Where 10600k made 909
Adobe Benchmark: We generally know that the Intel processor in Adobe performs well and this is one of the weaknesses of Raizen. Let's see if it is proven here.

premier pro: standard media pugit system:

Premiere Pro

Here it is seen that Intel has scored less than r5 3600. And needless to say, there are quite a few gaps behind. Score of 3700x, 2700x in the cell of 700. Intel has 640's and less there. R5 3600 has a score of 670+ which is priced at Rs 7/8 thousand less.

Adobe Photoshop:

Adobe Photoshop

Exactly the same score here, so I did not write. Leaving 2700x behind but lagging behind the rest. Whatever the gap.

after effect:

After effects 2020

Score equal to 2700x here is 3700x, behind 3600x.

System Power Consumption:

System Power Consumption

It is seen to use a lot more power from many processors of AMD and Intel in Blender benchmark. Using more power than 3300x, 3600,7700k, 2600,3700x, 8700k, 9700k.
Looks like we need a big power supply to handle it.
Conclusion: Considering the price and looking at the performance of AMD's processors at this price, it must be said that the Intel core i5 10600k has a very disappointing score in 90% of the cases. Ryzen 7 2700x, ryzen 7 3700x was far behind in many Gula tests.
And the disappointing thing is the Ryzen 5 3600, which costs a lot less than that. In most cases, Intel has not been able to score the level of that processor. Most of the tests were behind this.
Another thing, the performance of Adobe we know is a strong place of Intel processor, but here also ryzen 5 3600 was behind. 3700x was far ahead.
If productivity is your main and sole purpose, then this processor is not a good choice at all. Intel was able to comeback ??? No answer yet. Stay tuned for gaming benchmarks.

Gaming Performance:

I will emphasize a little more in the review of gaming because the difference in score is as important in multitasking as the difference in framerate in gaming. 10 FPS and much more matters for specially competitive gamers. Whatever.
The review covers two resolutions of 1080P and 1440P.
Test bench: RTX 2080ti, 32gb CL 14 DDR4 Ram.

Battlefield 5 (1080p):

Battlefield V (1080p)

Intel's new processor with a 2020 TI is giving 16 fps. 1% Low and Very Impressive 125 FPS
And with this 18 fps it is pushing back the r5 3600 to 13 fps and 16 fps at 1% low. The Ryzen 7 3700x also lags behind 11 fps on average.
Interestingly, this 16 fps is equal to the Core i9 9900K.

1440p:

Battlefield V(1440p)

But here we have a lot of GPU bottlenecked - 135 fps average and 106 fps 1% low. Which is more than 3600 to 8 fps.
However, Intel E is at the top of this list.
From 130 to 122 fps there are ranges from Nine 3900X to Raisin 52 2600, from our Intel processor to 5 to 13 fps. However, at 1% low, the 2700 is the only processor that is giving 80 fps, which is doing much better than all other Gula processors, above 100.

Far Cry new dawn:

Far Cry New Dawn (1080p)

We know it's always an Intel Favorite title.
1080P Ultra: 121 fps average and 96 1% low.
Which is more than 3600 on average and 1% is 10 fps in both cases.
Ahead of 3700x is 7 fps in both average and 1% low.
However, the processors below the i5 have the lowest 2600 with 1% and the average FPS difference is 30 in both cases! Which is a lot.
And another thing to note is that in many cases there is a 1% difference but more than the average.

1440p

Far Cry New Dawn(1440p)

Intel's dominance is maintained here as well. With 117 fps average and 97 fps 1% low, it is lagging behind 10600 as usual 3900 x, 3600 x, 9600 k, 7700 k. FPS difference is 7-9, but if we look at 1% low, we will understand that Intel will give better experience, will give less lag stator. 1% low score of Raisin 3900 to 3600 and difference of I Five 13

Gears tactics:

Gears Tactics (1080p)

Here too, the new i5 is giving the same framerate as the core i9. 138 and 105 are 1% and average respectively. Raisen is as far away as ever. The nearest Raizen Nine is 3900 behind 10 fps. The same is true of 1%. The Ryzen 7 lags behind 3700x 13 fps in terms of average and 1% low.
3600 ?? 3600 lags behind here at an average of 14 fps and 1% is also 14 fps.

1440p

Gears Tactics (1440p)

The gap here has narrowed, with all but 2600 having a 1% low performance of about 1/2 fps.
However, on average, Intel is still getting 6/10 fps more.

Rainbow Six:

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege(1080p)

With 276 and 1% 216 fps, it is 10 fps ahead of the average from 3700x. Intel is 11 fps ahead of 3800 on average here. However, in this title we are noticing an interesting thing. Raisen's 3900X, 2600X and 3600 but at 1% low is far ahead of i5.
Although lagging behind on average.

1440p

Rainbow Six Siege (1440p)

Not much to say here, GPU Limited. Everyone has almost the same framerate: 1% and about 1/2 fps less. Framerate difference of 10/12 graphics card 3/1/2.

Ghost recon breakpoint:

Ghost Recon Breakpoint(1080p)

Here we see Intel, 137 FPS, 112 FPS. FPS 131 and 108 of 3700x, 3600
Although the first 10/12 processors in the list are all Intel.

1440p

Ghost Recon Breakpoint(1440p)

We have more GPUs here.
Average of 9900k, 9700k, 8700k, 9600k, and 1% all beans. 111 and 94.
A little behind is the 3600 with 104 fps and 90 fps.

Shadow of the tomb raider:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider(1440p)

With 128 fps here, Intel is in a tie with 3900x, 3600x. FPS 120 of 3600.

1440p

Shadow Of the Tomb Raider(1440p)

Here we are GPU Ltd. all giving almost the same framerate. 1/2 fps difference.
3600, 10600k equals here. Intel 2 fps more at 1%.

Red dead redemption 2:

Red Dead Redemption 2(1080p)

3900x, 3700x but almost the same performance as Intel's here. Intel's score here is 103 fps average and 78 fps 1%.
The two processors mentioned are 2 fps behind.
The r5 3600 is 9 fps on average and 6 fps behind at 1%.

1440p

Red Dead Redemption 2(1440p)

Here we are Limited: The first and last FPS difference of 14 processors is only 6, only 7 in case of 1%.
Intel 10600k is 1 fps ahead of Raizen.

Now let's come to the average of these 6 games

1080p 7 games average

At 1080P, the i5 gives an average of 153 fps and 119 fps 1%. The framerate of 3700 x is 145,115 here. Where 3600 is giving 143 and 112.

1440p:

1440p 7 games average

Slightly ahead at 1440p is 10600k.
Conclusion: We did not see any competition in gaming. There is a common saying boss at Intel Gaming. It's as if Intel has remastered it in today's language. No processor from Raizen was found here, no matter the difference in FPS, e Intel has always been seen above. And it has knocked out rivals, with the previous generation's Core i Nine, the equivalent of gaming being the most powerful, and its performance is truly remarkable.

Who will buy/upgrade:

Very hardcore gamer, just gaming e, FPS is very important to you, your budget and intel core i5 10600k match. Intel core i5 10600k may be a very nice option for you in that case. You can choose it without any hesitation. Perfect choice for those who want to build a gaming-centric multitasking PC that is the main game, with occasional lightweight. The gaming performance equivalent to the Core i9 is really incredible with a processor of 26/30 thousand. There is no other competitor of core i5 10600k in this budget.

For the upgrade, you must keep in mind that if you are currently an 8700k or ryzen 5 3600 user, your FPS will not increase much. And keep in mind it has been tested with RTX 2080ti. If you test with 5600xt / 2060 / super, there will not be as much difference as seen here. And there will actually be a separate cost of buying your motherboard from the Raizen platform that you must seriously consider. In that case you may have to go through the hassle of selling old motherboards. Those who are using processors like 8400 / 7500k, i5 6th gen, i3 3rd gen, i7 6th gen, ryzen 5 1600/2600, if the budget is around 30 thousand, it may be the best choice for the upgrade.

However, 10600KF may be a better option.

Who will not buy/do not upgrade

Do light gaming with professional video editor / multitasking or gaming at all, just do all these other things. Or for those of you who have multitasking as the main purpose of gaming, there are other options for you. In multitasking, Raisen's all-rounder 3600, which is priced at Rs 16,000 (the price may be lower if the situation is normal) is giving even less performance than what you have seen from the benchmarking above. And its budget is far behind competitors like 3700x, 2700x, so it would not be reasonable to take it at all.

If you are not a heavy user, but upgrade other parts with ryzen 5 3600, it would be better to increase the RAM. Give extra 8/10 thousand rupees to GPU.

There is no question of upgrade. Because you will not get the expected performance, with the problem of getting a new motherboard. An upgrade is reasonable for an upgrade given the amount of improved performance from the current build

And you can wait for the AMD Ryzen 4000 series.

Last word

For ordinary gamers, hardcore professional gamers, the core i5 10600k is the best gaming processor of the tenth generation. Processors like the core i9 have taken this processor to another level in terms of price-to-performance gaming performance. Although multitasking did not deliver the expected results in the budget, the core i5 10600k has now taken a different place in the budget for gaming-based builds.
