The Intel i7 8700K has amazing IPC and single threaded performance when compared the the i7 5960X. However with the Intel i7 5960X being the 8 core 16 thread CPU, it should surely have the advantage with highly threaded workloads such as Video editing and Rendering. The Intel i7 8700K will be clocked at 5.1GHz with no AVX offset. While the 5960X will be clocked at 4.4GHz which are both decent overclocks for both Coffee Lake and Haswell E. Cyberlink PowerDirector 16 will be the video editing software of choice as I use it to edit all of my videos.
