The 8700k has 2 cores less and only goes up to 4.3GHz on all cores. Anyway if all of that is still true then I will definitely going to get that one. Should be a gigantic update to my 6850k. |
It's a bit hard to believe those numbers given that there's no new node and the TDP will be the same 95W of their 6-core CPUs. But hey, they could be smart and weld the heatspreader again like AMD does, helping with the heat problem.
But I'm more interested in how much they're going to ask for it. The i7-8700K was $359, and I don't see this one being cheaper.
Please excuse my bad English.
Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070
