For now, the 8086K is the best CPU for the Z370 platform, and it's the best overclocking CPU I have seen from Intel. Overclocking is really the strong point of this CPU if you are looking at practicality. You are basically guaranteed a 5GHz OC on all core...

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...

Overclocks like a champ
Benchmark scores equal to Core i7-8700K, Slightly pricier for small speed bump, 5.0GHz boost clock refers to single-core Turbo Boost
If you pick up an Intel Core i7-8086K expecting it to be the fastest Coffee Lake processor ever out of the box, you'll be sorely disappointed. This limited-edition processor performs no better than an Intel Core i7-8700K, so you're better off saving the e...
The end result is probably the one most of us were expecting - yes, you will probably see a marginally higher overclock compared to the Core i7-8700K, but the high price is not worth paying regardless of whether you'll be running the CPU at stock speed or...
Rare moments of 5 GHz operation are exciting, Highest-quality Coffee Lake silicon, A bit of available overclocking headroom, Limited-edition piece of history, Fastest gaming processor
Imperceptible performance gains vs. -8700K at stock settings, No bundled cooler, High price
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).8/10$425A...
With a 4 GHz base clock frequency and a maximum turbo clock frequency of 5 GHz, the Core i7 8086K is the world's fastest processor for single-threaded applications, or applications that only utilize a limited number of CPU cores. This also means that the...
First consumer Intel CPU at 5GHz, Overclocks to all-core 5GHz easily, Potent Coffee Lake architecture, Limited edition
20 per cent premium over 8700K, No cooler in box
The limited release of the Intel Core i7-8086K is more of a marketing push than real-world benefit over the readily-available Core i7-8700K. Plumbed in with the same frequencies on all but a single core, this new chip is a speed-binned version of the Coff...
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...
The Intel Core i7-8086K is a nice way for Intel to mark the occasion of the 40th anniversary of their x86 generation. Being a better-binned chip, the Intel Core i7-8086K is like one of those golden batch CPUs that overclockers die to get their hands on. W...
