No, no you don’t. My 8700k runs at 5Ghz straight out of the box as do many others. Idle temps at 28 degrees, load during stress tests low to mid seventies. Gaming in the 50’s
Okay that is with a predator 360

Is AMD due to release any CPU's that will be fast as an Intel CPU ?

In the old days, there were tales of a mythical beast... a 5Ghz monster (with small baws) that could eat a power station full of power and embarrassed a sun for heat.
This beast came from AMD, Angry Mental Dragons... or so they were called... anyway it died as it was *****.
MY 8700k does 5ghz at 62c with air cooling
What does an AMD 2700x cpu need for 5ghz ?
Do you mean the 2700x can do 5ghz with the stock cooler
You already have the 1080 or is that want you want to buy? if i was you i would get the Ryzen 2600 and use the money saved to get the 1080TI instead, the 8700K is not that much faster with a 1080TI, and only at 1080P or less, even then you get more performance than you would with an 8700K and a 1080.
I already have the 1080
Am not worried about what the cpu can run now, It what they can run in 5+ years time as due to be owning 4 systems some of them may not be upgraded for many years..
(I.E notice two my systems are very old E8500 & i5-2500 cpu's)

Overclock to it's max. 4.3Ghz
The way that you measure CPU performance in games is to benchmark at 720P, The 8700K is faster, not by a huge amount, Panos put up a 35 Game review, the 8700K when not limited by the GPU was overall 13% faster than the 2700X, game specific it varies from game to game, that will be the same in 5 years time because CPU's don't get faster over time.
IMO in a years time with Ryzen 3### AMD will be ahead, Ryzen 3### is a new Zen 2 architecture and it will have much higher clock speeds, clock speed is the only thing Intel have over AMD right now and Intel are only going to rename current Coffeelake chips because they are having a hard time getting their new manufacturing process running, AMD are already sampling theirs.
As a bonus Ryzen 3 will have 12 or 16 cores mainstream, we don't yet know which, but 12 with 24 threads at least, those you will be able to plop into existing 300 and 400 series motherboards.
The 2700x can only clock to 4.3ghz ?
I thought that was it stock clocks
Many CPUs these days have flexible "stock" clocks.
The stockest clock for the 2700X is 3.7GHz and it can boost higher while still stock.
Am also guessing if in say 5 years time if games uses more cores better then there a chance that the 8 core AMD cpu could be faster then intel 6 core cpu in games
No way of knowing what going happen in the future

That is a possibility yes. and yes again, there is no way of knowing.
