bolc Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Hi all, not sure if this is the right place but the question comes down to the league in the end. So i thought it might be good here. I was thinking buying a 9900K ans was proposed a piece based on a cpu-z screenshot, telling it is ES hardware. Then I took a look at the latest subs on Hwbot for 9900K and I see ES everywhere, for folks in the Extreme and Elite leagues. Is cpu-z mislabelling retail as ES? Or are Extreme benchers using ES while they should be Elite (or need to be promoted Elite) ? Before I buy, I'd like to know. Thanks Edited October 24, 2018 by bolc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolc Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) that was my understanding, current ES = elite (current = 9xxxk, but also the other 1151?) is cpu-z 1.86 telling the right thing (Es or not) regarding 9900K, or we should wait for 1.87 ?

bolc Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) this screen answers it cpu-z reads well won t buy Es then and few folks here will have to become Elitehttp://hwbot.org/benchmark/cpu_frequency/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_5773&cores=8#start=0#interval=20 Edited October 24, 2018 by bolc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
