8 core coffeelake on Z370 ?

Bigger numbers = better life. I might buy two 9900Ks so I can carry one around and be happy all the time.

Make sure to keep it in a location where other people can see it. It would be awful if nobody knew you had a spare 9900K.

Could you imagine? You'd be the talk of the town with only 8 cores to your name.

When is pre-order time?

Leaked slides state all 300 series chipsets are compatible with 8-core.

6c/12t vs 8c/8t ??

How viable will the 8700K be at that? Better for multitasking or will the "real" core addition make HT irrelevant?

There will be a few applications that work better on 6c/12t but not many. For multitasking, who knows.

An application would need to perform more than 33% better with HT enabled in order to outperform the 2 extra cores. Real world applications typically get a 5 - 20% boost from hyper-threading.
