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

[DragonQ]

The 7900X uses TIM - Why would they solder their new range of desktop enthusiast CPUs?

I think the days of Intel soldering stuff are long gone. They haven't in 6 years now IIRC?

X99 was the last range of Intel CPUs to have soldered IHSs.

On Aug. 21, Intel will unveil the 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processor family on Facebook Live. Watch as two exciting moments align: the Great American Solar Eclipse and the unveiling of Intel’s most powerful family of processors for the next era of computing. Hear from those who are at the center of creating this technology and from creators who are using the power of 8th Gen Intel Core technology in new and exciting ways.

Eight Reasons to Tune In

1. Don’t be caught in the dark. Learn how the 8th Gen Intel Core processor family will offer blazing fast performance.
2. Hear directly from Gregory Bryant, senior vice president of the Client Computing Group at Intel, and others about the details on the latest processor family and what it can help you do.
3. Discover how immersive experiences will bring you from spectator to participant with 8th Gen Intel Core processor capabilities.
4. Don’t just take our word for it. See the power of 8th Gen Intel Core technology come to life in the hands of a VR creator and imaging technologist.
5. Get a sneak peek at some of the amazing system designs based on 8th Gen Intel Core processors.
6. Start planning for what new 8th Gen Intel Core processor-based device to purchase in the holiday season and even before.
7. Don’t worry, you won’t miss the solar eclipse. Tune in before it descends upon Oregon and the West Coast and then makes its way across the U.S.
8. See how the 8th Gen Intel Core processor is designed for today and what comes next.

When: 8 a.m. PDT, Aug. 21, 2017

Hmmm Coffee Lake-S CPUs will enter volume production on 21 August and hopefully benchmarks will leak, 8700K and Z370 motherboards pre-orders should be up on that day.

So this will be a paper launch then? I hope we don't have to wait long?

Looking forward to see if the Core i3 is 4C/8T as that is far more exciting for the average gamer than the 6C/12T CPUs if they are over £300.

Watch Intel change the naming tier for core counts but keep the same per core pricing.

Looks like the Core i3 is 4C:

Article on Reddit says i3 is a 4core 4 thread.
Edit* too slow.

to be expected imo. I would have bought that as a really cheap/good upgrade from my 2500k rather than a 6 core i5

After seeing the DF article of the Ryzen 5 1600 against the Core i5 7600K even when the latter was overclocked to 4.8GHZ,not sure even if the Core i3 8350K is £150,that once you add the cost of the cooler,it will be worth it.

Poor Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7.

Poor Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7.

Actually, I went and downloaded the same version of CPUz to make it fair.
The 8700k is not that impressive, it only provides a slight increase in single core compared to the 7700k and ryzen 1700 beats it in multi. Much of the same as we already have.
Looks like poor i7 to me. Ryzen loses 42 in single but mullers it in multi.

Do you believe that the 8700k has a 4.7x better single core score than the 7700k?

Look at the version of CPU-z. Reading the comments in the link it seems like you get higher scores with the older version

There is no doubt Intel will make it faster then 7700k. They have to if you want to bet Ryzen.

Correct,I have edited my post.

No doubt?

Looks like it cost £220 here though, price of previous flagships and same spec. 8700K at £350.. I just don't even ...

Oh Intel .

Not much they could do at this point when it came to Coffee Lake except drop prices and they won't do that until/unless sales are actually way down. But don't assume they will just continue on the same trajectory without adjusting for what AMD has done.

Is that speculation or from leaks?
