So guys, where do you expect Core i7-8700K to land in terms of clock speed? Might give you a surprise later today.
Stock or Overclock?
Im expecting 3.7/4.2/4.4 stock with 80% of chips capable of 4.8ghz.
And I consider that an aggressive expectation, so if Intel beats that props to them.
That's not hard considering how CPU-Z works. Try it yourself too.
Example from my own I just took.
These should be real world clocks, these CPU should be really close to launch this leaked.If I am not misguided those are clocks of current engineering samples.
4.7Ghz ST, more than 4Ghz all core.
This is on the latest node though so will have certain improvements, just comes down to whether Intel decides to create some artificial barriers or not and the difference between official clocks and good sustainable overclocks on the K model (could be important for this product range this time round).Isn't the max for the 7700k 4.5 ghz sc? I can't see even the sc clocks being higher due to the greater complexity. Also, it would be strange for Intel to have the 8800k that much faster than the 7800x.
Besides Intel PR, do we actually know what the "new node" can do?This is on the latest node though so will have certain improvements, just comes down to whether Intel decides to create some artificial barriers or not and the difference between official clocks and good sustainable overclocks on the K model (could be important for this product range this time round).

Thank you, so sick of people claiming it is some kind of magic. End of that day, it's still 14nmBesides Intel PR, do we actually know what the "new node" can do?

SHows 14nm, 14nm+, and 14nm++
14nm+ (Kabylake) did improve clocks about 20% at the same power in ULV form factor (i.e. ~ 3 GHz). but only about ~ 8% at desktop clocks. 14nm++ looks pretty health on this. "It's only 14nm" isn't true.

Kaby Lake was already having heat problems I wonder how they will add on two more cores without telling consumers to buy water.I heard 15% 14nm++ was a total of 30% better than regular 14nm. Kaby had a 400mhz better max OC over SKL. 5.2ghz vs 4.8GHz and lower voltage IIRC for that so 8% but also better voltages IIRC.
The overall average chip on Kaby was much better than 8% though.
the heat per square mm is the same so no issues.Kaby Lake was already having heat problems I wonder how they will add on two more cores without telling consumers to buy water.
Maybe we are approaching a time when overclocking an Intel chip comes with a pre-requisite of delidding.
Might have trouble fitting the iGPU on that one - if you want 8 core, x299 for you.Here is me hoping that Ryzen will keep up the pressure and maybe see an 8C/16T i7-9700k?
Zen+ or Zen2 might force that if AMD start to introduce 10+cores for mainstream lol. I. Can't. Wait.Here is me hoping that Ryzen will keep up the pressure and maybe see an 8C/16T i7-9700k?
Don't particuarly care too much about the lack of iGPU, chances are I'll probably have a few spare GPUs lying around the house if the current GPU dies.Might have trouble fitting the iGPU on that one - if you want 8 core, x299 for you.
(You might not like the iGPU, some of us do and it is part of the 1151 platform)
For the higher core count parts, Intel can strip the iGPU down to next to nothing- it doesn't have to play games, just spit out a display for the spec. I even use them on my gaming system, and that's as much as I need. Free outputs for extra monitors either way.

That is Intel PR though. Im not saying there wont be improvements, but I need to see it before I outright believe it.Relevant chart for 14nm++ benefits:

The entire lineup is aggressively clocked and competitive, people will be positively surprised.
Extreme AMD Fanboys are annoying, yes. But Ryzen is a great option for a lot of builders. A 6 core / 12 thread processor for $219 with a cooler that will allow you to take it to 4GHZ is pretty absurd.Except for the AMD fanbois that will already insist 6 core and clock frequencies & IPC is a thing of the past and despite real world tests showing a different result. Emulators that I'm interesting in, is particularly funny scenario where you can get linear performance boost with clock frequency scaling.
