Yeah, the 8600k choice was easy for me as I was 96% sure I wasn’t going to use HT.

Where did you get the info there was no HT?  My ASUS BIOS has it enabled by default and I have to go in and make sure it is disabled.  If you want the blurries, turn on HT.  If you do not want blurries, turn it off.  I was amazed when I turned of HT.

Good choice.  I'm amazed with this CPU.  Have 4 - 5 MegaSceneries enabled at one time plus all of the Drzewiecki Design photosceneries, ASP4, and UTLive at 80% and get 40-70 fps with no blurries.  I think most of the current CPU's can handle almost anything thrown at it by FSX/P3DV4 and X-Plane.  What I'm worried about now is the developers see the performance improvements and throw in even more eye-candy bringing our systems down again and in wait for an even better CPU/video card.  I heard HT would be eliminated by Intel - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/leaked-benchmarks-show-intel-is-dropping-hyperthreading-from-i7-chips/

To be sure I'm talking the i5 8600K not the 8086 Jim. Before the I7 9700k the I7's were 2 threads per core (with HT enabled) while the I5's are 1 core one thread - no hyperthread, HT not an option..

Okay Ken.  Should have looked at your system specs in your signature first.  Thanks for the explanation.
