Review on Intel Core i7-8700K: Unleash the Power of 6 Cores, Turbo Boost up to 4.7GHz – Perfect for LGA1151 300 Series Desktops! by Kiril Veronikov ᠌

Before that, I had 6700k @ 4.9GHz 1.48v. It's still hot. This is where things get a lot better. You can safely put 5.0 GHz "permanently". Got pros: 6 cores, good overclocking. My results of stable work in links with avx: 4.8GHz 1.33v 4.9GHz 1.37v 5.0GHz 1.41v 5.1GHz 1.47v Its cons: 1. New chipset. 2. I had to scalp. 3. Absolutely no difference in games compared to i7-mi 5-6-7 generations, that is, with all that are at 14nm. Stagnation on the face. On the other hand, at least they threw in a couple of cores. Only the sense of them will be in 5 years, by which time you will change a couple more generations.
