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

I like the look of the Asus Maximus Hero, Asrock Taichi boards, will have a proper look at the Gigabyte offerings.. always steered clear of MSI boards as i have heard numerous reports of bad boards and even worse RMA's.

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. :)

You know OCUK and other UK etailers will put on the UK crazy tax on top of that so expect near or over £400.
 
From a complete pleb watching this thread in anticipation for an upgrade for a 6 year old PC. Those results don't look like a great improvement over the 7700.......from a gaming point of view.
Really am waiting patiently as current PC has crapped itself. Well the graphics card did.
 
Adding a pair of cores to the current design always had a limited scope of performance. It's not a bad chip but we've already had very similar chips and probably for a lot less money.

GPU bottleneck being hit by the looks of it (they shouldn't be testing at extreme settings).
 
RIP Ryzen?

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.

It's faster in handbrake too, "mai putin = mai bine" translates to "lower = better", so it did their encoding workload 1 second faster than a 1800X, which is really impressive given that it's 12 threads vs 16.
Quite a bit faster in Blender too, which was Ryzen's forte, impressive stuff.
 
haha cant believe some arent impressed. 7700k is the best all round gaming chip now you have a better all round gaming cpu with extra cores aswell close to 5ghz.thats ryzen stomped.

So a 8700@ 5.1 scores less than a [email protected]?

Lab501 left the advanced streaming on (or w/e it's called), which is fairly demanding on the CPU. I don't think GamersNexus have it.
Comparing results from two reviews using different settings is silly to begin with.

Lab501 is an old Romanian outlet and the reviewers are a pretty well known group of overclockers, they're as legit as it gets. Based on their conclusion they have no love for Intel, but they can't deny the test results.
 
Lol no I get that but posting a benchmark chart that shows a heavily overclocked cpu beating a stock cpu by nearly 50% is really quite misleading.
The gamers nexus one paints a more realistic picture :).

Look at the 8700k, not overclocked. Its the 8600k that is overclocked.
And the 8700k is slapping ryzen about in games.
