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

I'll wait for the benches but I'm not anticipating a reason to get excited over my 4790K. I've had it just over 3 years and I can feasibly see me having it for 3 more after given people are still rocking 2600K's now. Hopefully AMD's recent advancements will push Intel to make actual gains with their new chips and AMD can build on the back of Ryzen and be even more competitive at the top end next release (I'm talking purely for premium gaming here, I appreciate AMD gives great B4B and TR is no slouch in other areas too).

The 7700K is only marginally faster than your 4790k, the 8700K is basically the 7700K in single threaded stuff and faster in Multithreaded, its good that Intel has now moved its i7 to a 6/12 rather than the old 4/8. We can all agree we can thank AMD for that.

My biggest gripe with the 8700K is aimed at the Z370 motherboards, it seems that they will be short lived, unless manufacturers can get a work around to put previous gen chips into them.

Im upgrading over my 4770K as ive had it for ages now and i just fancy a change, i was going down the AMD route, but the 8700K seems like a happy medium, i gain the 7700K gaming perf and close to the 1700 multithreaded performance.

Interestingly, rumors are that AMD's Zen refresh is due in Feb 2018, 12nm LP i believe, all AMD need is a 10% performance increase and those chips will be awesome.

Intel has been working on the 6 core years before Ryzen. It was already coming, but Intel pushed it forward because of zen.

Lol if AMD had not released the Ryzen stack we would still be looking at 4/8 i7's from Intel... fact is AMD has shaken up the CPU industry, 2 core i3, 4 core i5 and 4/8 core i7 are no longer acceptable when you can get 90% of the performance and twice the cores for 2 thirds of the money.

If your too stubborn to admit that, then well i cannot help you :)

Wasnt bulldozer 8core? Didnt see intel releasing any 6cores then... Hmmm.. it must have to do with intel having planned to release a 6 core for ages. Way before ryzen o;!

Threatened by what? Someone on a forum has a faster cpu in some situations? People need to get a grip. Makes no sense at all. :)

I guess your not on forums much then? That's all people do here, redit everywhere. Maybe you're very sheltered? lol Why would anyone need to go all out like Humbug does to defend AMD so hard? I like everyone. could care less if it's Intel or AMD. I go with who ever has the best performance.

Seriously mate you need help, i already stated numerous times in this thread im buying an 8700K, i own a 4770K... so umm yeah im a massive AMD fanboy of Ryzen /boggle... i am a fan of their GPU's, or should i say *was* a fan of their GPU's, Vega has killed that, was considering replacing my 1070 with a Vega 56, im probably just going to sell my Freesync Screen and buy a 1080ti and a G-Sync screen now, so yeah, i guess i am a massive AMD fanboy...

If anyone in this thread feels threatened, its clearly you mate.

If you have the money 8700k if not then a i5 8600 or AMD 1700 which is going for £269

brand new build minus a gpu, so mobo, case, psu, memory, cpu and a nvme drive to boot from and a fresh copy of windows 10 because need that dx12 loving finally lol. so got £1k so have to see whats what when them reviews hit and start crunching numbers as i have a feeling ryzen may drop a tad again as you can find 1700's at £245 now, so who knows come next thursday.

Damn you need everything. I would go with Ryzen tbh. You'll get a lot more for your money. This coffeelake release isn't going to be cheap.

yeah thats what im thinking just wanted to see if its worth going for the 8700k or if its going to be too much of a stretch compared to ryzen, i could go a bit more but dont want to go down the rabbit hole of saying "well its just a bit more" been there done that a few too many times :P

With Ryzen you'll have a upgrade path. Not so sure with Intel?

If AMD gain 10%, it will have the same IPC as kaby. However it needs to be able to have the same clockspeed to be able to keep up.
