The Intel Core i7-8086K has better single-core performance than the Intel Core i7-8700K, but once more cores are being used it has identical performance. This is the fastest CPU for the Intel Z370 platform though, so look no further if that is what you ar...
Technically speaking, the Intel Core i7-8086K is Intel's fastest mainstream desktop processor released to date. Its 5GHz peak, single-core turbo frequency gives it the edge in single-threaded workloads over any other x86 processor currently available. The...

The 40th-anniversary Core i7-8086K is appealing to collectors due to its limited-edition status. It's also a solid choice if you're on the hunt for the utmost in gaming and overclocking performance (and are willing to pay a hefty premium for it).8...

Intel launching the Core i7-8086K as a 40th Anniversary part took us by surprise. The processor on paper is a slightly higher binned version of the Core i7-8700K, with a +300 MHz bump on the base frequency and the single core turbo frequency, allowing Int...

Abstract: Whilst I've seen commemorative coins and stamps, I've never seen a commemorative CPU.Intel's Core i7 8086K is exactly that. The special edition chip celebrates 40 years since the launch of the original 8086 processor and 50 years since the founding of Chi...
Fastest gaming CPU money can buy, Overclocking options, Power draw
Expensive, Limited supply and availability
I'm thoroughly happy with the 8086K and am rather pleased with what Intel has delivered. I do wish there was a matching or companion 8085K or some such thing without hyper-threading at a slightly better price, but for what's being offered, this is a soli...
