Six cores and high clock speed equals high performance, Intel IPC is superb, Simple overclocking with Z370 Aorus Gaming 7, Prices have been held steady from 7th. Gen
CPU cooling is hindered by TIM. Again, 8th Gen. CPU requires a Z370 motherboard
Wow. Just wow. Intel's new Core i7-8700K is fabulous and performs like a champ with those six cores and 12 threads showing that the time has come to move beyond quad core. It is painful to consider that if Intel soldered the package and allowed it to cool...
Huge six-core power, Highly overclockable, Stable and easy-to-use platform, Mighty single-core speeds, Cheaper than Ryzen 7 1800X
Doesn't compete with Ryzen 1700 or 1700X on price, Not compatible with older motherboards
The i7-8700K doesn't ship with its own cooler on account of its overclockability. You'll need to pick an all-in-one liquid cooler or a powerful air cooler to ensure it can cope with a proper overclock. Also, remember to buy a proper set of DDR4 memory; de...
Big step forward in price/performance, Impressive power efficiency, Temperatures remain under control, Solid overclocking potential
Z370 fails to be a major update to the chipset, Not backwards compatible
So, Coffee Lake is real, it's here, and you can buy it; but should you? Let's start wrapping things up.First we should address the elephant in the room: the proximity to Kaby Lake's release, and indeed the Core X enthusiast platform. It is absolutely regr...

One of the fastest consumer CPUs to date, 6 Core 12 Thread design, Easily overclocks to 5 GHz on air, Can break 5.2 GHz on enthusiast cooling, Incredible 1080p gaming performance, Competitive 4K gaming performance, Powerful performance for productivity,
Requires a new Z370 motherboard, “Many may be on the fence with the whole Z370 motherboard upgrade, but if you’re looking to build a new system right now, or upgrade one that’s got a few years on the clock, the i7-8700K is a killer piece of hardware for a
Well, that's opening up a can of worms, isn't it‽ When it comes to outright performance, it's a great option for any system builder right now. It shows that 6 cores is enough for most tasks, even more so thanks to the ability to easily overclock it to 5 G...
Intel has finally been moved into taking a long, hard look at its mainstream enthusiast PC chips and motherboards. Such re-evaluation of the product portfolio has been largely instigated by the arrival of AMD's Ryzen processors, though that is certainly n...
We could have written a much shorter review today, which essentially covered just a few key points. The Core i7-8700K is not compatible with older motherboards, it has two more cores than a Core i7-7700K, it's very fast, even faster when overclocked (whic...
Intel finally expanded the core count of its mainstream processors, facilitating solid all-around performance from the Core i7-8700K. Aggressive Turbo Boost bins ensure great performance in lightly-threaded workloads, while six cores cut through demanding...

Abstract: Want one? Amazon: prourls.co/74Aw This killer chip from Intel is the new i7 8700K. It's a 6 core, 12 thread, 3.7GHz CPU aimed at filling the gap between the mainstream and the high end desktop platform (HEDT), so how does it do? Let's take you through the...

Intel's Coffee Lake lineup has been created with a very clear objective: beat AMD's Ryzen processors and do it quickly. To that end they've pulled in the launch date of this 8th generation of their Core architecture so they arrive before the end of the ye...
Stable performance, Looks slick, Good overclocking support
Too few rear USB ports, Multi Core Enhancement on by default, Pointless RGB LED positioning,
In the wrapup to our Core i7-7700K review, we expressed the hope that AMD would force Intel into a fight, and cited rumours of six-core Coffee Lake chips that would take a year to make it to market. Nine months later, and here we are - AMD did exactly tha...
