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

I will compile a video on this Cpu prior to launch for launch day to show many things others don't cover. I am already way ahead in testing.

Any topics I may not have thought of you want covering. Put them here.

Even my chest routine.... No problem...
 
I want to know core for core performance at the same speed type comparison. Important to know for those apps and games that do not utilise all cores, that these new chips would offer improvements or actually be worse due to scaling ect.
 
I'm still on an i5 750 from 2010... Assuming it's good, I'll probably be getting the 8600K, or maybe I'll stretch to the 8700K. Along with a 2K monitor from my current 6-year-old 1200p one, an M2 SSD etc. Pretty exciting upgrade :D



Extremely late edit: Oops, didn't know about prices for these, or rumours. Thought it would be priced much better in response to Ryzen. Hmm...

The 7700K new is £240 in Switzerland, drop in price is probably in preparation for the 8700K release.

I have my money saved, was close to getting a 7700K until I heard about the 8700K.

Would like to know if the standard 7700k delid tool fits an 8700k since I have one ready. Would obviously like to know standard and delid temperatures are various speeds.

So tempted to buy a 7700k at that price as it's idea for Flight Sims.

Get a 4k ;)

Oh, I'm tempted! I just think 2K / 144Hz is still the sweet spot (for me). I've read about 4K monitors on the horizon that tick all the boxes I want except they're only 27" which I think is too small, whereas I want 32"-36". Part of me says to wait for such a monitor, yet I think it's best to "settle" for a 2K one currently, enjoy it for a good while and then comfortably move to 4K in 2-3 years. Yeah, that's not long to have a monitor, but I just gotta enjoy the time I have.

I have had a 27" 4k for a few years now, it's a little too small text wise, but amazing none-the-less. My friend bought a 43" 4k, and thats a little too big. I think your range will be perfect.

I've coupled it with a BenQ 240hz XL2540 - highly recommend this monitor also.
 
Thanks for the further confirmation. And yeah I'm sure I'd still quite enjoy it at 27". I should've clarified but I would also want 100Hz+ with 4K, and I can't afford to properly run that now. Actually, can anyone afford to properly run that? :p

You got a list of those you are covering already? Probably already covering them all but you never know... Memory speeds on platform with the 8Pack sticks maybe, impact they have on results to find the sweet spot.

Yeah, it would be really interesting to compare single core performance on a 6700k, 7700k and an 8700k all at 4.4Ghz (or whatever).

I went from i5-760 to Ryzen 1700 due to Intel being poor value for money at the time in my budget. Runs much faster in comparison.

Already doing memory speed completed testing. For that one.. Thanks for the suggestion.

Are you able to drop say the 7700K in the Z370 board, and do a clock for clock comparison, keeping the same memory and timings etc? It would be good to see the differences that the 14nm++ process has actually made, alongside the newer Z370 chipset.
