Intel's Core i7-8700K sports the same high frequencies as previous-gen mainstream flagships, but incorporates two more cores to challenge AMD's Ryzen CPUs.
It even beats an eight-core Ryzen in many content creation apps—but boy does it run hot.
Intel’s hexa-core processor rises above Ryzen
Intel Core i7-8700K - Day-old coffee, or freshly brewed espresso?
Intel's best ever gaming CPU is here and it's awesomely fast in other tasks too - read all about the Core i7-8700K
Intel adds a new 6-core Core-i7 processor to their Mainstream portfolio. Can this Coffee Lake 8700K offer any clear advantages over the 7700K?
With high clocks and hexa-core design, Intel's top eighth-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.
Intel strikes back! The Core i7-8700K comes with six processor cores, plus HyperThreading, for a total of twelve threads. Overclocking potential is excellent, reaching 5 GHz on all cores, with ease, on just air cooling. Pricing is also extremely reasonable, with just a small increase over the previous quad-core 7700K.
It is time to check out the new six-core proc from Intel, yes the Core i7 8700K will be put through our benchmark paces and yes this is Coffee Lake, Intel's new mainstream processor that you will ne... Introduction
Intel today takes the covers off its newest desktop processors, the Core i7-8700K and i5-8400 Coffee Lake CPUs. Strap in as we check them out.
The rumours are true. Intel's new Coffee Lake-S represents the biggest generational leap we've seen since the classic S…
The top Coffee Lake CPU right now, and the first Intel response to AMD's Ryzen. So, how does it compare?
Intel Core i7-8700K Both Intel and AMD have been locking horns over the last few months, something we haven't seen on a competitive level for years now. We've had Ryzen and Threadripper go head to head with Intel's previous/current gen, as well as their new X299 platform chips like the 18c 16t thread 7980XE. Now Intel is back again, this time with their Coffee Lake Z370 CPUs. These are what I would call mid-to-high-end consumer processors, unlike the more enthusiast and professionally focused X299 platform. We kick things off for today with the high-end Intel Core i7-7820X, one of the first
Intel's aptly named Coffee Lake Core i7-8700K offers a frenetic amount of performance at prices unheard of from the chip giant.
