Don't the mobos need to support it? The Apex is only DDR4-4500. MSI Godlike is 4133. etc.
Why is that exactly? I know that Samsung b-die are good for Ryzen compatibility, however I did not think it mattered much for Intel.

Battlefield series has always been about multicore suport it looks like 6 cores and a higher clock speed works well. The i9 really lagging but well above most of the AMD chips.

At this point I think ill stick with my X5670. Basically this is exactly what I think it was, a 7700k with 2 more cores glued on (Just like Threadripper!). No IPC improvement, Might as well stick with your 7700k.
I hate to say it, but the 2600k is still in my eyes the best Intel CPU in a long damn time. I have regrets sometimes selling my 2700k that hit 5ghz.
Either way Like I said in the review thread. There are 2 people I know who have a lot of defending/excuse making to do now.

That is the truth. between the 8600k and the 1600/1600x I would almost lean to the 8600k just because of overclocking. 5ghz looks to be pretty damn easy to get!
All in all with Ryzen 2 coming out beginning of next year, this is going to make the battle between intel/AMD very interesting.
Bring on the price wars!
This is not clear by any means.

Only problem is the K doesnt get you as much as it used to, the techreport review althought not including temps that I could see says 4.8ghz on air for 8600k. Which is the other thing with the newer cpus they dont OC like the old ones, since they basically have just built in higher clocks. 19% OC was easy for ivy bridge on stock volts now your looking at 12% on air easy
I already had 2x16gb gskill rgb 14-14-14-34 3200 and i bought a second kit. I went with the board due to the 3 m.2 i will be raiding 2 nvme drives and i have a SATA. I do like thelook as well. REALLY hoping it will work with 4 sticks of ram and my Kraken x62 and allow me to fit all 4
Everyone pleased with the effective 8700k paper launch?
Most places around here had zero retail availability on launch. Newegg is projecting stock/backorder fulfillment into mid/late November.
At the very least, it shouldn't be hard to pick up the motherboard you want. Nobody has a chip to put in it.

Yup agree 100%.. My 6600k is OC'ed by 1000mhz... and its performance is pretty much identical to all the 4 core lake ( sky, kabe, coffee) CPUs... at the same clocks of course.

No so sure about that unless I just got a golden CPU. And this CPU did not come from Intel.

personally I think the 8700 with an H series Mobo will be a winner. Unless they allow multicore turbo to work on z370 which at least 1review it doesn't work with the 8400

Just stumbled across someone selling a 4790K for $80, parting out their old pre-built replacing it with a CFL rig. We'll see what happens.
Pretty sure he's saying that he got lucky with the CPU oc'ing so well.
Also is it recommended to use Windows 10 for the 8700k? I have one coming in either tomorrow or Saturday hopefully and I haven't left Windows 7 yet.
They say it only works with Windows 10 but I wouldn't be surprised to see it work with Windows 7 (as was the case with Kaby), some features will be missing though.
But really, just get Windows 10. It's still free. Just make sure you get the pro version so you can use group policies to manage Windows update and stuff.

Time for you to pack up your shit and move on! Windows 10 is solid.

I am saying that I have no reason to believe that the CPU I am using is much unlike any other. UNLESS, just by luck I got a golden sample, but I only have one so I have no idea.

It probably still works. You might have trouble during install with USB3 and you might have to go directly to Intel's site to get some mobo drivers.
Kaby Lake was fine, anyway.

December? That's not too bad. Only a few months after that will be a new Intel/chipset to buy!

And possibly Ryzen 2!!! Wow december......Well yea Intel just did a paper launch. Man TBH it really seems like Intel is worried about Ryzen sales indeed.
ikr. all thanks to AMD otherwise guaranteed milk for another 1yr on quads, as well as more refreshes and 10 more yrs on hexa mainstream.

Stock? Wtf does that have to do with anything?
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Ryzen 2 in 2019?

Likely yes, I think Pinnacle ridge and/or any update to RR will be the update through 2018. Maybe Q2 2019 for Matisse

That is a cheap move, if true and chips are delayed until November and December that would be a corporate low blow, not that Intel is averse to that.

TBH who knows. Like I said it was coming from a PR standpoint. So who knows

Assuming no issues with the 7nm then 2019 is the likely release, i think 2019 was a conservative push back in case of the aforementioned

Yea. I try not to take PR from any tech company period. I mean shit lets not even mention this current Intel release which is basically a paper launch.
Now IF Ryzen comes out with the 2000 refresh in Q1 2018....that will throw a wrench in Intel's plan.

A few months back pinnacle ridge was slated for Q1 say Q1/Q2 conservative it is a good time to realease early in a year.
PR has some low lying fruits to tweak, the ultimate challenge will be tosqueeze higher turbo policies, most ryzen out the box push like 3.5-3.5 allcores and 4ghz max which is to low

Yea 4ghz is kind of low. So hopefully they can refine the processor, and release Ryzen 2k with 4.5+ overclocks.
