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

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 :).

What are you on about? Which heavily overclocked CPU beats which stock CPU on the Romanian graph? The 8700k isn't overclocked on that graph, and yes it beats the (also stock) 1800x by a large margin. The GN graph doesn't even include a CL chip, so...?

ETA: After all the fanboy shens (that I made a point of staying out of), I can't believe I'm agreeing with Gavin haha. :p
 
lmao @Doobedoo trying to grasp at straws, they have a stock 8600K in there too, all of those CPUs are stock apart from the 5.1Ghz 8600K result which they did to show it's good value.

PS: If anyone needs anything translated from that article, @ me since I know Romanian.

So it doesn't say the 8600k is running 5.1ghz then? The 8600k and 8700k scores pretty much the same.
 
@Rainmaker they have a 'platforma de test' page (tl: test platform) where they list everything they used.

The GPU they used is a Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme
Apart from mobo (obviously), the only thing separating their test beds was a kit of 32GB GSkill TridentZ CL14 for Skylake-X that they set to 16-16-16-36 2T (like the other test beds).

Dude what are you arguing about? You need to be clearer and more concise in your posts. You didn't even list which two CPUs you were talking about in your first post, and you still haven't told us which the second one is. The 8600k was the only clocked CPU in that graph, and only because they discussed, incidentally, what good value it is. I'm more concerned with 8700k vs 1800x (and moreso in productivity and rendering), but no matter what you're looking at you need to compare apples to apples.

Ok, lets wait for gamers nexus to get hold of one.

No problem. I just think that chart looks dubious. Gamers nexus can't be that far off and I don't think the 8700k has gained that sort of a lead over the 7700k relative to Ryzen.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong and the 8700k is a beast of a chip.

No im not I'm just looking at the relative performance. That Romanian one doesn't look right

Sorry I just would have thought it was quite obvious. Maybe the chart is misleading. I'm not arguing just pointing it out.
If the 8600k scored 145fps @5.1 and the 8700k 1fps more then it's safe to say the 8700k is likely clocked the same.

The 8700K is doubtless going to be a beast of a chip. 6 modern Intel cores hitting 5GHZ? I have no doubts that'll +1 my Ryzen. But I always said if AMD can offer what I considered a viable processor I'd buy it. So I put my money where my mouth is.
I fully expect it to be coming up trumps in games, as core for core is still king. I do however hope to have a viable upgrade path with AM4.

Thanks Andrei. I mixed you up with DooBeDoo so I deleted my original message. Sorry for the confusion.
 
If Ryzen could clock to 5GHZ it wouldn't have the issues it does, its core clocks are just so damn poor, but this is hopefully something that will be addressed in a future iteration.

Once I finally get rid of my dying 290X, perhaps I'll end up disappointed in my Ryzen.

Ryzen is a decent enough platform and is a real bang for buck champ. Nobody can argue with 16 solid cores, and even at default RAM speeds and default clocks a 1800x is a beast of a workstation that wouldn't really spoil your games, especially at 1080p. Who can argue with that for a couple of hundred quid? First world problems and all that, and tbh it's nice to actually have this dilemma. Who'd have thought this time last year we'd have terabytes of anguished posts over which CPU to buy? haha. :D
