Strong performance in games and productivity applications, Lower priceperthread than competition, Overclocking headroom
Zseries motherboard requirement, Overclocking tax
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 deman...
Abstract: It was just nine months ago when we said the Kaby Lake flagship was the chip we've been waiting for. Now, just three quarters later, Kaby Lake has effectively been wiped off the map. The king is dead. Long live the king!The Intel Core i7-8700K, formerly k...
50 percent more cores and threads (and higher boost clocks) than previous-gen mainstream chips, Best gaming performance we've seen at 1080p, when paired with a GTX 1080, Consistently tops AMD's similarly priced Ryzen 7 1700X
Higher MSRP than Core i7-7700K, Requires a new motherboard, despite Z370 chipset offering no substantive new features
With high clocks and hexa-core design, Intel's top 8th Generation/"Coffee Lake" desktop CPU impresses as a mainstream "do-it-all" processor. It's an excellent gamer, too, when paired with a high-end video card (though Coffee Lake Core i5s can be a better...

Great for highend gaming and competent at productivity. Offers better allaround performance than the 7700K. One hell of an overclocker
Relatively expensive compared to Ryzen. Expect to spend $550for the chip, a motherboard and a nice cooler
Intel's new mainstream flagship Core i7 processor is a beast. For gamers seeking the ultimate solution there is simply nothing better than the Core i7-8700K. Out of the box performance is incredible, overclocking is even more incredible, power consumption...
