i7 or i9 for my needs?

Intel@hardware.watchEnglish · 1 year ago

I want to use it for gaming like the Sims 4 with expansion packs, mods, CC - games like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dead by Daylight and similar games. I also want to use it for personal things - some pictures/music/videos. Ideally I’d like to multitask while playing (Sims, other autonomous games). Which what suit me best do you think?

None of the listed games would benefit from an i9 (or even an i7 for that matter).
