12 years later – Intel Core i7-860 compared to Intel Core i7-11700K

YouTuber from the popular Testing Games channel decided to find out how good the 12-year-old Intel Core i7-860 is in modern games. He compared it to the brand new Intel Core i7-11700K.

The test PC configuration is as follows:

• OS: Windows 10 Pro
• Motherboard: ASRock H55 Pro for i7-860 and ASUS ROG Z590 Maximus XIII Hero for i7-11700K
• RAM: 32 GB
• Cooler: Zalman CNPS10X Performa
• Video card: GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB
• Power Supply: CORSAIR RM850i 850W

The results are below:

• Call of Duty: Warzone – 61 fps (i7-860), 199 fps (i7-11700K)
• CYBERPUNK 2077 – 36 fps (i7-860), 128 fps (i7-11700K)
• Death Stranding – 75 fps (i7-860), 198 fps (i7-11700K)
• Project Cars – 51 fps (i7-860), 135 fps (i7-11700K)
• The Witcher 3 – 70 fps (i7-860), 198 fps (i7-11700K)
• Battlefield V – 73 fps (i7-860), 201 fps (i7-11700K)
• Hitman 3 – 73 fps (i7-860), 189 fps (i7-11700K)
• Microsoft Flight Simulator – 35 fps (i7-860), 88 fps (i7-11700K)
• Red Dead Redemption 2 – 44 fps (i7-860), 148 fps (i7-11700K)

It is obvious that even a powerful video card, a large amount of RAM and other top-end PC parameters are not able to compensate for the backwardness of an ancient processor.
