Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

If you look at the line before this one, you'll see that adding two cores or increasing power by fifty percent represents good development. If one considers the market's other options, however, purchasing an I7-8700K would be an exceedingly unprofitable endeavor. The difference between Ryzen 1700 and Ryzen 1600 will not be noticeable in games (unless you are a fan of running the game at a resolution of 720p or higher), but the price difference is significant. And in addition to that, you are going to require extremely reliable cooling, and even cooling that is cold won't rescue you from temperatures ranging from 80 to 95 degrees, in contrast to Ryzen, where you may limit yourself to a cheap cooler and the temperatures will still be low. Additionally, if you consider previous processor models manufactured by Intel, you'll notice that the company has a great deal of 6+ nuclear models. The identical I7-5820K that has solder behind the cover has a total of six cores. The I7-8700K features memory that operates on four channels, however the price is increased by a factor of 1.5 times. The reasoning is beyond my comprehension. The processor is available for the red price of 18,000, and no more. And despite the fact that it costs 18 thousand dollars, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of purchasing a Ryzen or an i7-8700K.

Pros
  • - Intel has finally shifted, since previously they had been providing the same percentage every year since 2022.
Cons
  • The performance is inferior to that of competing products, but the identical Ryzen 7 1700 costs half as much and produces more in multi-threading. - A significant amount of warmth as a result of an inadequate thermal contact. If Ryzen can be cooled using any cooler that falls between 1000 and 1500, then the I7-8700K need a cooler that falls between 3000 and 10000. - The significance of the scalp. If you don't use a scalp cap, you can't even hope to achieve a frequency that's higher than 4.7. Even with the stock removed, the processor gets really hot. - A price that is exorbitantly expensive. The price of our competitors' products is half of what we charge for the same level of performance. -A chipset developed by Stillborn. The Z390 is currently in the planning stages. - There are insufficient processors. Because Intel was in a rush to release its product, they did not produce a sufficient number of CPUs.
