Intel to launch 6 core Coffee Lake-S CPUs & Z370 chipset 5 October 2017

Any news on h310 motherboards?

Now a h310 motherboard with a clockgenerator paired with the entry level 6 core would be interesting. Maybe Intel would turn a blind eye to bus overclocking as the platform has such a short like span. Or is that wishful thinking?

Not a chance, this is intel lol. Milk for all you've got.
 
That's the only thing we have to go on right now, besides cinebench is AMDs favourite benchmark :)

Nah ah, Cinebench was Intel's favourite benchmark. Anyone with more than a week under their belts as hardware observers knows that. Relatively Ryzen does much better in games.
 
I know you can't say too much and you will probably be looking at this from a slightly different position than me but erm... Any bridge between quad and dual channel performance?

You've just described yourself perfectly. Observer. I still don't know why you haven't got a ryzen already, your always singing it's praises.
It's AMD that has been banging the cinebench drum lately.
They do better in GPU limited games, in older titles and early access like arma etc it shows it lacks clockspeed.

Aren't AMD the ones that use an i7 to show off the Vega GPU? That speaks volumes in itself.

Anyone on a haswell k series i7 should wait for icelake or zen 2.
 
We have most of the pricing too. :)

EDIT: And we know that mainstream Coffee Lake isn't out 'til Q1 '18, along with the cheaper H370/H310 chipsets etc.

What do mean by mainstream? Dual quad cores or the lower end Hex?

6 months is a long wait for the H chipset, though I supose it gives Intel time to work out the Coffeelake bugs on the Z370 beta testers.

Or AMD used a lot of DX11 games.

I...... yeah that's frustration, a lot of angry foot stomping..... but i guess the one thing of any value in that rant is your proposition is that everyone with a Haswell i7 should wait for CoffeeLake. i think that depends if they want to spend near £400 on a 12 thread CPU or near £200 on a 12 thread CPU, i mean, you obviously didn't think of it but don't you agree most people have a budget and look at what they can get with it?

They might also have other concerns like power consumption, cooling costs...

Read it again, I said icelake. You get what you pay for. I cheaped out and I got stuck with x8 haswell cores that cannot clock as high as haswell so its actually slower than haswell lol.


So mostly DX11 games that need a single fast core. Makes total sense to use an overclocked Kaby chip. I would have ordered the fastest 7700K 8 pack could get me if the task was to show off a GPU under DX11.

Actually both have dx12 options and doom has vulcan. Which, If I were AMD I'd be using dx12 as thats where vega is stronger.
 
Yep, I was stupid. Never pre order a CPU is my lesson learned here.



You told me you could only get it to 4.4Ghz, so core for core it was 5% faster, with half the cores.

Do you see why no one but your own friends take anything you say seriously? i mean, you're talking a lot of hyperbole and whle you keep saying why the facts don't add up to that hyperbole.
