Intel have offered 6 core chips at this price or less for a long time. Coffee Lake is just more of the same.

So my findings with a binned 5ghz chip -

Loaded up 1.350v and a few other settings and boom straight in, stable in gaming and benching, I can't believe how cool this thing runs under a 280mm AIO, 15/20c cooler than my [email protected] (not delidded). I'm able to get 5.2g @ 1.450v but things start getting a little hot for my liking - tested with 10 loops of Cinebench, Prime95 Small FFT's for 10mins and 15 mins BF1 max temp core 91c, so that's a no no really. However I ran it just so I could top the boards in our Firestrike single GPU scores :cool: beating Kaapstad for once.

Comparing my [email protected] with my old [email protected] I ran a few more tests:-

In PUBG I'm seeing nice gains, before I upgraded my chip I use the most intensive part which I believe is the spawning lobby (with the crashed plane), here standing on the rear tail looking backward towards the crowd with roughly 50/60 people running around with guns and smoke I benched 3X from a 30 seconds countdown giving it time for everything and everyone to load ingame. Here are some of the lowest average fps I witness playing PUGB 1440p 21:9 Ultra settings. I stand in the same spot each time facing the same direction.

My [email protected] saw an average of 54/52/53fps
My [email protected] saw this increase to 63/66/62fps
So gaining over 10FPS on average at the bottom end of PUBG performance - 22% increase

Who said 1440p is bottlenecked by GPU?

Firestrike scores:
[email protected] - 23940
[email protected] - 26033

I'll continue testing some other titles, other than prime95 blend not benching for some reason, really enjoy my new chip, and the gaming 7 looks so pretty.

I got a random retail one L729 which does 5.2Ghz 1.404v cb15. Pretty average so I'm happy at least I'm not losing to the SL. :D
