A Spanish website just posted a near full review of the Intel Core i7 9700K processor, the review includes a fairly wide selection of benchmarks including some CPU tests and games.
The guys from El Chapuzas Informático have been able to test a dozen or so benchmarks of which nine are games. In the end, the Core i7 9700K is pretty much on par with a Ryzen 7 2700X, aside from Cinebench. As expected in gaming it’s a notch faster thanks to games having few threads and the Core i7 benefitting from higher clocks.

For the money, it’ll probably be a good gaming processor alright. What’s a little odd to see is that the i7-9700K really isn’t a third or so faster than the Core i7-8700K despite it having two more cores. But that would/could be the direct result of the lack of HyperThreading. When trying to overclock they reached a pretty familiar 5 GHz, they did so on 1.40 Volts.
