Abstract: Intel's 6-core 8th generation Core i7-8700K CPU is the reality check to high-performance, high-priced CPUs like the $2,000 Core i9 and $1,000 AMD Ryzen Threadripper. The real battle for the desktop and consumer's wallets is with this amazingly affordable...

The best CPU for gaming, Strong out-of-the-box clock speed, Intel's six-cores beat AMD's eight-cores in many production tasks, Offers substantial gains over Skylake and Kaby Lake in multithreaded apps
Still only 16 PCIe lanes on the CPU, Platform needs voltage tweaks to run at its best, Coffee Lake is the third "optimisation" of an existing architecture with no IPC improvement, The 8700K runs very hot and pulls a lot of watts, You can overclock to over
6-core in a mainstream Intel chip, 36% multi-core performance improvement over the i7-7700K, Can easily overclock to 5.0 GHz, Single-core performance improvements, Beats Ryzen in gaming performance, Platform has 40 PCI-Express 3.0 lanes
New motherboard needed, Sort of upsetting if you've bought an i7-7700K recently
As you can see from our results on the previous page this is not an ordinary processor update from Intel. The 8th Generation Core Desktop series is bringing with it increases in core counts finally! We are going to see 6-core i5's and i7's and even quad-c...
It's hard to know where to start here. Besides the exciting times of finally seeing more than 4 cores on the mainstream desktop platform, all 6 cores come out swinging. Intel's i7-8700K consistently placed at or very near the top of all of our benchmark r...

It's time to condense all of our test results into our famous value scatter plots. We use a geometric mean of all of our real-world results to ensure that no one test has an undue impact on the overall index. First up, let's look at gaming performance. T...
What to take from Core i7 8700K?That power draw with the 5 GHz overclock + overclock preset RX 580 8G is brilliant! I used the preset which pulled 1.30v for the 5.0 GHz. I am sure this can do better since its an ES chip, but I wanted to see how it will pe...

The performance story surrounding the 8th Generation Intel Core processors codenamed Coffee Lake is straightforward. Take the Kaby Lake parts that were already damned good, increase the core count in Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3 families, and also increa...
The Intel Core i7-8700K was an exciting processor to benchmark and overclock as Coffee Lake drastically improves performance at a minimal price increase. For $20 more than a 4-core, 8-thread Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake processor you can now get a 6-core, 12-t...

Abstract: The 8th Generation Intel Core processors, codenamed Coffee Lake, are the first Intel processor family to garner so much interest in recent history. Thanks to the Ryzen Effect, Intel is finally increasing the number of processor cores across the board...

With the enormous sales figures that the mainstream Intel processors achieve it is always going to be in everyone's interest when a new model appears.Given the number of cores and performance that we saw when the Ryzen 7 processors appeared there was a si...
