If they're showcasing budget boards with the new chipset features then that basically all but confirms Z390.

The current Z270 rebrand alias Z370 chipset is then degraded to the worse equipped subject, because Q370, H370, B360 and H310 can theoretically more (native USB 3.1 Gen2, integrated WLAN). But on the Z370 is no passing when it comes to the topic of overclocking, only from the second half of the Z390 will be a chipset with the same feature set as the rest of the family available.

Uhm so what would z390 for? Considering Intel 9th gen won't be coming till 2019 and correct if I'm wrong Cannonlake are for laptops.
 
8750H vs 7700HQ in Geekbench 4, not locked at the same speeds since I have neither of the chips(and they are locked), but they are both the highest scoring for their laptop model and OS version(Razer Blade and Windows). Scores used here

Well z370 was highly anticipated and still the thing right now. was it really needed though not really...why I didn't wait a little while longer and build that...there's people buying it and shit and won't even clock it how it should be....

An 8 core Coffee Lake SKU?

i thought z390 will be with ICL. so z390 will have 8 core CFL and z470 will be ICL?

cause if ICL 8 core coming end of 2018 and early 2019, thats about 1yr from 6c CFL. its hard to think intel will release 8 core CFL just 6 month after 6c CFL is released.

Honestly Intel's desktop roadmap is quite unclear so i am not sure
 
Assuming Z390 launches in the 2nd half of 2018 this either means there's an 8C CFL coming and/or Ice Lake is pushed back even farther. I can't see Intel going only 6 months between chipsets. Or something else entirely (Z390 is an Ice Lake chipset, womp womp).
All of the new features are already showing up in the upcoming non-Z boards, and those are backwards compatible.

Intel's back is against the wall with 10nm at this point, who knows what kind of crazy shit they're capable of. Nothing will surprise me anymore.

Well I just hope if there will be an 8 core CFL it'll be backwards compatible so they can finally be consumer friendly.

i know, i got z370 & 6c, sucks if still on 14nm++ but can't upgrade, i'd want this socket to last at least till 8c CFL if theres one.

thats the thing we never had a z370 and z390 chipset like this, it's kinda weird. still wish they'd bring out 8c consumer as soon as possible but intel knows once they're out, they can no longer go back, thats probably holding them back. good thing we have AMD giving more and more pressure for that intel 8c consumer chip.

I continue tied to what I said in #4321
 
8600k rig running in windows 8.1 now, no issues.

I even used my existing install, but the process of switching drivers etc. was shaky.

On the new board AVX is stable at higher clocks and much lower voltages than the defective board.

---

System is stable at 4.8ghz AVX, so 0 offset is good, I tried 5 ghz with an offset of 2 to keep AVX at 4.8ghz and the PC rebooted during realbench multitasking test, I am not prepared to use obscene voltages to hit 5ghz so have dialled back the voltage and settled on 4.8, the vcore under AVX load peaks at 1.312v. 1.28-1.29 non AVX load. Things also seem better for me on the bugged LLC bios which I am using now.

On the previous board when I was testing getting parted magic to boot at 4.9 or 5ghz I had to increase the vcore massively to over 1.37v. So on my chip is a massive voltage jump required from 4.8 to 4.9.

Also my board coil whines at voltages under 1.0v, so I disabled all the C states except C1E.

Only problem I've had so far on Win7 is that I can't get my mobo's bluetooth to detect devices. Same issue with two different USB adapters, so who knows.

That is weird- W10 with an ASRock Z370, no problems with Xbox 1 controllers and a Fitbit, Ubuntu with an ASRock Z270 synced up with a Logitech Bluetooth mouse without issue.
 
I use a xbox360 controller on my asrock z370 also. All my usb devices work fine including old usb2 ones.

Intel redesigned its 8th-gen processors to patch ‘Meltdown’ flaws
The new chips should start rolling out later this year.

Meanwhile for updating Intel’s consumer chips, this is a bit more nebulous. While Intel hasn’t shared the complete text of their announcement with us ahead of press time, their specific wording is that the changes will be included in 8th gen Core processors “expected to ship in the second half of 2018.” Intel hasn’t said what processor family these are (e.g. Cannon Lake?), or for that matter whether these are even going to be traditional consumer chips or just the Core HEDT releases of Cascade Lake.

Found on Reddit, pretty interesting. Someone a week or two ago was reporting similar temp results and I shrugged it off.


I was expecting to have to delid my new 8600k as I've delidded my previous Intel CPUs. I've got it overclocked to 5.1 avx offset -2 at 1.32v and stress testing with Corsair h100i GTX I'm maxing at 63c
Click to expand...

I got my 8700k last week and some people have been telling me the new ones have a different TIM to the earlier production models. I have a h100i also and OC'ed to 5Ghz at 1.33v, no avx offset and mine is at 68c, since we have very similar stats i'm guessing mine is hotter because of hyper threading. I guess Intel has just fixed the TIM issue finally, i won't be deliding (already have my 5ghz OC) and to get to 5.1Ghz i need 1.4v which increases temps to 77c, i rather keep it low as it is now then get close to the 80's. To answer some other comments, i don't know about OP (but i'm guessing not since his results are so similar to mine) my vrm is not power throttling. Perhaps others can post results and when they purchased the CPU?

Helped a buddy build up an 8700k with a Noctua NH-D15S inside a Define C with a Gigabyte Gaming 5, default fan layout with default settings aside from setting the GSkill 3000C15 to XMP, and it's dead silent.

Haven't bothered to check fan speeds and temps with the CPU bursting to 4.6GHz on stock settings. He's upgrading from an i7 860 and tends to keep his stuff for a good long while.
 
Yea but that 1270-1288 cinebench score. That's probably 3.7-3.8 on all cores. My xeon1505mv6 gets 800 @ 3.6.

Apparently the other two chips were unlocked to 200w while the 8950HK was limited to 45w TDP, explains differences in scores.

That explains a lot. That said what competition do they have in the upper end mobile? No one, absolutely no one. It's not like 1083 is slow or anything.
 
The 7700k still does like 1100 at 5ghz in CB, still respectable and plenty...I see no real reason mostly why you would need better than that right now....

honestly 4 cores and 8mb L3 cache is way too little. i'd prefer 8 cores and 16mb instead but i'll settle with 6cores 12mb for now
 
Looks like Wal~Mart has the Intel i5-8500 and Celeron G4920 listed online with both prices and availability date (no word on clock speed).


The i5-8400 is listed at $221.36 (save $3 with in store pickup) with an availability date of 3/21.

The Celeron G4920 is listed at $65.75 (save $1 with in store pickup) also with an availability date of 3/21.

I've been waiting for Intel to release the i5-8500 (as well as the cheaper itx motherboards) so I could decide if it would be worth picking up over an i5-8400 for the secondary rig. If Wal~Mart is pricing the i5-8500 correctly, and not gouging... At $40 more than an i5-8400 the price of the i5-8500 is rather disappointing to me. There's not a lot of wiggle room between the i5-8400 (2.8Ghz base, 4Ghz turbo) and the i5-8600k (3.6Ghz base, 4.3Ghz turbo) for Intel to add both an 8500 and 8600 (non k) so I don't expect to see anything more than a couple hundred mhz boost on the i5-8500 over the i5-8400. I just don't see how that justifies an extra $40. Most sites were expecting a $10 - $20 increase over the i5-8500 which would make a lot more sense.


Here's hoping the lower cost H370, B360, and B310 motherboards will be released at or around the same time.
