The editors didn't like
Doesn't compete with Ryzen 1700 or 1700X on price
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
Cheaper 8-core Ryzens offer similar multi-core performance
Best gaming CPU, Impressive gains over previous gen, High overclock potential
Could have had more than 16 PCIe lanes, Negligible IPC gains, Still uses thermal paste instead of solder
Finally, we have a six-core Intel CPU in the mainstream segment. And the good thing about the Intel Core i7-8700K is that it's a 6-core processor that outdoes AMD's 8-core Ryzen 7 1800X in quite a few benchmarks. Given that its US pricing is lower than th...
Abstract: Looking at Intel's 8c/8t Core i7-9700K, I thought having 8 cores and high clocks would be great, even with Hyper-threading disabled… and I couldn't be so wrong.I had to test again and again to make sure what I saw was correct and sure enough it is, at a...

Closing the gap with RyzenOn paper, Intel's Coffee Lake chips may not seem very interesting. Okay, there are now two additional cores across the entire line-up, but what does that really mean? As it turns out, those two cores can do a lot, and Intel is st...

Tras todas las pruebas que hemos podido hacerle a este Intel i7-8700K queda más que claro que estamos ante el valuarte de Intel para el gaming en esta generación, dándonos un rendimiento magnífico para casi todas las tareas que le propongamos. Todo esto t...
Lo cierto es que en los tests más "sintéticos" (no sintéticos al uso) como pueden ser 3D Mark o VR Mark, la diferencia entre ambos procesadores es mínima, aunque de haberla favorece al 2700X de AMD. Cuando nos adentramos en los resultados de los juegos pu...

Ampliar tLos rumores de que Intel iba a llevar al mercado procesadores de seis núcleos para la gama generalista empezaron hace dos años. Era el paso lógico a dar por la compañía, y uno que llevaba preparando desde hace bastante tiempo. Sin embargo, la fue...

Excelente rendimiento con sus seis núcleos y doce hilos de proceso, Consumo aceptable, Todas las últimas tecnologías disponibles
Te obliga a comprar una placa Z370, El rendimiento de la memoria RAM está por debajo de lo esperado
Es cierto que la nueva plataforma Coffee Lake no supone una gran mejoría con respecto a la anterior generación de procesadores de Intel, y también es cierto que obligar a cambiar de placa base para actualizar es un factor que echará para atrás a muchos us...
Tal y como sospechábamos, las diferencias en juegos de los 5 procesadores Coffee Lake comparados es nimia. Solo los tests que son más dependientes de CPU exhiben la escalera típica que diferencia a cada modelo según su gama: por ejemplo en los tests de CP...
