Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...

Abstract: Want one? 8700K Amazon: prourls.co/74Aw 1800X Amazon: prourls.co/riWO So you want to know which is better, the Intel i7 8700K, or the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (at stock clocks)? I've retested all my normal benchmark applications, and Player Unknown's Battlegroun...
Have we already said that competition is good for the processor market this year? Intel takes, enforced by AMD or not, the biggest step in performance since the Nehalem-generation. Back then, in 2008, we saw 6-core Intel-processors for the first time in t...
Huge six-core power, Highly overclockable, Stable and easy-to-use platform, Mighty single-core speeds and gaming performance, Cheaper than Ryzen 7 1800X
Doesn't compete with Ryzen 1700 or 1700X on price, Cheaper 8-core Ryzens offer similar multi-core performance, 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...
Overclocking only on K models, Requires new motherboard
Intel Core i7-8700K proves Team Blue is still the top dog in the processor world. Coffee Lake is a clear improvement over Kaby Lake with impressively higher single-core and multi-core numbers, and ever-so-slightly better gaming performance. What's more, t...

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...

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...
