Over the last few processor reviews Ive done, the conclusion usually boiled down to me stating that summing things up would prove to be a challenge. That wont happen this time because Intel made it pretty easy for me. Coffee Lake may not be revolutionar...
Integrierte Grafikeinheit für Spiele zu langsam, Etwas hoher Stromverbrauch unter Volllast
Die sechs Rechenkerne des Core i7-8700K zeigten im Test, was in ihnen steckt. Der neue Chip düste nur so durch die Tempomessungen. Dank geringem Stromverbrauch und integriertem Grafikchip bietet er ein wirklich gutes Gesamtpaket – sowohl für PC-Zocker als...
Ultimately how we judge the Core i7-8700K comes down to two areas: Performance and price.In performance, it's pretty clear Core i7-8700K is an impressive CPU. With its high clock speeds and efficient micro-architecture, it punches out of its weight class...
When you look at the results delivered by the Core i7 8700K and Core i5 8400, it's clear that Intel's new architecture has got a tremendous upside in performance. When compared to Intel's Kaby Lake and Skylake 4C/8T processors, the added core count of the...
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...
