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

So from that review the 8600K done 5.1ghz and hit 91c under stress with a Noctua cooler, not bad i guess, as its not been delidded and TIM changed i think theres room for that to go higher, still bodes well for the 8700K, i reckon delidded and TIM sorted it should hit 5GHZ on a decent cooler.

I run mine at 4 Ghz as it doesn't clock brilliantly despite really good Swiftech 240H AIO water cooling.

Doesn't HEDT just stand for High End Desktop? What features would I lose? A bit of memory bandwidth going from Quad to Dual channel? Not sure how much that impacts games really.

Memory bandwidth is Intel's biggest problem. Quad channel memory and higher bus speeds was the fix for 6 core ring bus chips.

Do you just trawl the internet looking for Intel news? If so see if you can find UK retail prices please.

I cant find any UK retailers price yet as all removed prices from list.

Here are Intel official price in US dollars and I converted it to UK pounds at $0.34 exchange rate to get rough idea what price look like on 5 October if exchange rate still stand at $1.34 or above as US dollars weaken.

i7 8700K $359 = £320 inc VAT
i7 8700 $303 = £271 inc VAT3
i5 8600K $257 = £229 inc VAT
i5 8400 $182 = £162 inc VAT
i3 8350K $168 = £150 inc VAT
i3 8100 $117 = £104 inc VAT

Lab501 review is the best one I ever see, damn impressive 8700K and 8600K games performance, overclocking and temp.

Look like Coffee Lake CPUs will be overclocker dreams, i5 8400 will be very interesting to read because it cost about £162 that could put expensive Ryzen 1600X, 1700X and 1800X to shame in games benchmarks. :)
 
id expect the prices to be at least a straight $1=£1 conversion before the retailers start tossing on another few quid.

I don't think anyone can describe a chip that can be clocked to 5.1-5.2 GHz an "overclocker's dream" when it boosts to 4.7 GHz at stock. I think you're right that the i5-8400 is positioned against the R5s since its stock clocks are about where Ryzen tops out when overclocking, negating that particular advantage. That leaves the R5 1600 with only one big advantage in that price bracket, which is SMT. Well, that and the fact that cheaper motherboards are available until January.

If these prices do end up being correct then I hope AMD has something up their sleeve for Pinnacle Ridge. I also hope that people don't forget that this massive increase in performance per dollar from Intel here is only the result of AMD being competitive again. Even if the i7-8700K ended being the best chip ever invented I am not sure it'd be worth buying one at a cost of another 10 years of stagnation.

I believe those prices are per thousand plus costs direct from Intel.

The 8700k looks very good indeed on this. It beats the 1800x on almost everything, except Handbrake where it was a mere 1fps behind. It also ran cooler(!) and drew less power unless I've gone full retard on interpreting the graphs. I guess that answers the question about my next system.

Looks like a cut back, but overclocked 6800K with a possible price bump.
 
Anyone have any thoughts or comments on the MSI godlike series? I think I’ve had Asus boards for many many years but quite like some of the features on this one - Good/bad/indifferent? I’ll be overclocking and have shall we say a lot of cooling...
