Processor for new PC

[contraretro]

Hi! Now I have a computer running on an Intel Core i5 8600k processor, but I want a faster processor. I found the Core i7 9800X, but it is 2 times more expensive

Help me, is it worth overpaying? I've seen test results in benchmarks, but they don't tell me much. Here's what I'm interested in, i7 has almost 2 times better memory bandwidth, so the question arises – how will this affect the overall performance of the system?

What are your use-cases that require all this extra performance?

If you don't have a solid state boot drive in your system, that would be the big improvement vs. a processor or memory upgrade. What are your computer specs and as mentioned, what do you do with the computer. Most people don't need an i7.

Your review link indicates that they have different sockets, which are incompatible with each other; that would seem to be a show stopper
