After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which processor is better to buy for gaming Intel Core i7-8700 or Intel Pentium 8500.
Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| Pentium 8500 | 54% |
Core i7-8700 | 53% |
The number of this parameter shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, Pentium 8500 is 1% better than Core i7-8700. The data source is several popular tests. Detailed information can be found below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| Pentium 8500 | 53% |
Core i7-8700 | 53% |
The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a small game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the final table below.
List of other games in which CPU comparisons were performed: Control, League of Legends (LOL), Horizon Zero Dawn, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Metro Exodus, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Ghostrunner, Hitman 3, DOTA 2A, Forza Horizon 4, Battlefield V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Half-Life: Alyx, NBA 2K20, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 93.7 | 94.8 | | Valorant | 106.4 | 107.7 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 59.6 | 60.3 | | Apex Legends | 100.0 | 101.2 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 79.8 | 80.8 | | Overwatch | 86.2 | 87.2 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 73.4 | 74.3 | | DOOM Eternal | 53.2 | 53.8 | | Warzone | 83.0 | 84.0 | | Assassin's Creed | 89.4 | 90.4 | | Valheim | 88.3 | 89.4 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The tested computers not only did they have different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| Pentium 8500 | 369% |
Core i7-8700 | 64% |
To make a final choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Pentium 8500 is more energy efficient than the Core i7-8700 as it consumes less power: 9W vs. 65W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksLet's say you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, machine learning, video editing or video rendering, streaming, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum performance, the processor uses all threads and cores that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Core i7-8700 is 68% better than Pentium 8500 in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Core i7-8700 has 1 more core than Pentium 8500. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Pentium 8500 is better: 9
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i7-8700 is better: 25
However, it should be understood that all the data in the table above do not mean that taking them into account you should fully trust a simple quantitative comparison. Be sure to watch the testing video and read the reviews of of people who bought Intel Pentium 8500 and Intel Core i7-8700 before deciding which of the CPUs to buy for gaming.
