The editors didn't like

  • Still only 16 PCIe lanes on the CPU
  • Platform needs voltage tweaks to run at its best
  • Coffee Lake is the third "optimisation" of an existing architecture with no IPC improvement
  • The 8700K runs very hot and pulls a lot of watts
  • You can overclock to over
  • New motherboard needed
  • Sort of upsetting if you've bought an i7-7700K recently
  • Zseries motherboard requirement
  • Overclocking tax
  • Higher MSRP than Core i7-7700K
  • Requires a new motherboard
  • Despite Z370 chipset offering no substantive new features
  • Requires New Motherboards
  • Despite Using LGA1151 Socket
  • Not All Unlocked
  • Temperatures high on launch
  • Little change except core count
  • Doesn't compete with Ryzen 1700 or 1700X on price
  • Cheaper 8-core Ryzens offer similar multi-core performance
  • Not compatible with older motherboards
  • New motherboards required
  • Only small improvements in gaming
  • Relatively expensive compared to Ryzen. Expect to spend $550for the chip
  • A motherboard and a nice cooler

  • Best gaming CPU, Impressive gains over previous gen, High overclock potential
  • Could have had more than 16 PCIe lanes, Negligible IPC gains, Still uses thermal paste instead of solder
  • Finally, we have a six-core Intel CPU in the mainstream segment. And the good thing about the Intel Core i7-8700K is that it's a 6-core processor that outdoes AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 1800X in quite a few benchmarks. Given that its US pricing is lower than th...

  • Abstract:  Looking at Intel's 8c/8t Core i7-9700K, I thought having 8 cores and high clocks would be great, even with Hyper-threading disabled… and I couldn't be so wrong.I had to test again and again to make sure what I saw was correct and sure enough it is, at a...

  • Closing the gap with RyzenOn paper, Intel's Coffee Lake chips may not seem very interesting. Okay, there are now two additional cores across the entire line-up, but what does that really mean? As it turns out, those two cores can do a lot, and Intel is st...

  • Tras todas las pruebas que hemos podido hacerle a este Intel i7-8700K queda más que claro que estamos ante el valuarte de Intel para el gaming en esta generación, dándonos un rendimiento magnífico para casi todas las tareas que le propongamos. Todo esto t...

  • Lo cierto es que en los tests más "sintéticos" (no sintéticos al uso) como pueden ser 3D Mark o VR Mark, la diferencia entre ambos procesadores es mínima, aunque de haberla favorece al 2700X de AMD. Cuando nos adentramos en los resultados de los juegos pu...

  • Excelente rendimiento con sus seis núcleos y doce hilos de proceso, Consumo aceptable, Todas las últimas tecnologías disponibles
  • Te obliga a comprar una placa Z370, El rendimiento de la memoria RAM está por debajo de lo esperado
  • Es cierto que la nueva plataforma Coffee Lake no supone una gran mejoría con respecto a la anterior generación de procesadores de Intel, y también es cierto que obligar a cambiar de placa base para actualizar es un factor que echará para atrás a muchos us...

  • Tal y como sospechábamos, las diferencias en juegos de los 5 procesadores Coffee Lake comparados es nimia. Solo los tests que son más dependientes de CPU exhiben la escalera típica que diferencia a cada modelo según su gama: por ejemplo en los tests de CP...
