Not compatible with older motherboards
Z370 fails to be a major update to the chipset
Not backwards compatible
Requires a new Z370 motherboard
“Many may be on the fence with the whole Z370 motherboard upgrade
But if you’re looking to build a new system right now
Or upgrade one that’s got a few years on the clock
The i7-8700K is a killer piece of hardware for a
Z-series motherboard requirement
Overclocking tax
High price

Abstract: It's Intel's turn to disrupt the mainstream market with SIX CORE Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs… But can they disrupt like Ryzen?Thanks to our sponsor Dollar Shave Club, new members get their 1st month of the ‘Sh*t, Shower, Shave' Starter Set including the Exec...
Over the last few processor reviews Ive done, the conclusion usually boiled down to me stating that summing things up would prove to be a challenge. That wont happen this time because Intel made it pretty easy for me. Coffee Lake may not be revolutionar...
When you look at the results delivered by the Core i7 8700K and Core i5 8400, it's clear that Intel's new architecture has got a tremendous upside in performance. When compared to Intel's Kaby Lake and Skylake 4C/8T processors, the added core count of the...

This is a question I keep mulling over. If you're building a brand new PC and investing in a new motherboard then the 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake processors are worth a look. Particularly if you game o...
The i7-8700K and i5-8400 are a step in the right direction. That direction is the move towards more cores, and what the industry needed was for both sides to release mainstream 6-core parts. While 6-core parts have existed for many generations, they have...
Ultimately how we judge the Core i7-8700K comes down to two areas: Performance and price.In performance, it's pretty clear Core i7-8700K is an impressive CPU. With its high clock speeds and efficient micro-architecture, it punches out of its weight class...

Stable performance, Looks slick, Good overclocking support
Too few rear USB ports, Multi Core Enhancement on by default, Pointless RGB LED positioning,
In the wrapup to our Core i7-7700K review, we expressed the hope that AMD would force Intel into a fight, and cited rumours of six-core Coffee Lake chips that would take a year to make it to market. Nine months later, and here we are - AMD did exactly tha...
