all good for my wallet... this plus 'delays' of next gen gpus...
Don't worry, Intel will have their 115x 8-core soon...plus the ram prices atm...
14nm yet again. Pathetic.
Yep, the reason I’m not buying another 14nm revamped skylake product from them. New arch, new node, new platform or bust. It’s not even funny at this point.So basically the Z170 generation boards could be running these chips but Intel likes chipset revenue.
Notice how 9000 series i7s are omitted from the spec sheet?And just like everyone said the 8-core rumor was just bull

9th iteration, still 8th generation apparently. At least they admit its not new but they'll require a new motherboard to run it!
Meanwhile someone just broke the SuperPi record using an 8700K on a Z270 FU Intel

Tiny little bumps, just like the 8086, to try and combat the Zen refresh.
And just like everyone said the 8-core rumor was just bull.
Would be nice if Intel could come out with a core architecture to replace Skylake, but I guess that would be asking too much after three fucking years?
Well, that's because they already did that. The 8086k is the i7 refresh.
And they really can't bump the 8700k up any higher. That was an emergency Factory Overclock to counter the 2700x before it was even released, and until they actually build a new core the frequencies will not be traveling much above five.

im worried.. so is 8 core on 14nm++ really coming this yr?
Doubtful.
But that's what the 8086k is there to combat. So no, it's a tight battle, but not critical enough to rush out another core rev.
If you need Moar Coars, that's what Threadripper and Skylake-E are for.
The 8600k will match the 8700k in pretty much all games except maybe Civilization. So what is the point of the 8700k? Same gaming performance with better productivity. Why not something with the same gaming ability with even MORE productivity. It would be an attractive option over simply 15% better gaming.
What will be interesting is if Intel implements an AMD-like precicion boost into their new 8-core. Even with great cooling, it is hard to imagine the 8-cores going much over 4.5 ghz due to thermals. It would be really solid if they have the chips boost closer to 5.0 ghz on lower thread workloads so as not to lose the advantage to the 8700k in those scenarios.
Last time I checked, the i5 8600k is a factory-overclocked Intel 6-core. I mentioned this in my post (overclocked 6-cores exceeded all AMD parts in games).
The 8700k only exists for bragging rights, and to give you a reason to not buy the 2700x if you do more than game. But for whiny post going fishing for an Intel 8-core, I had to touch on it as the top-end part.

What an odd post.
The 8700k is a beast.
I'd be mildly interested in a 8-core non-HT variant to replace my poor 8600K sample doing 4.75GHz at little over 1.3v.

also i'd get 8 cores with HT just to turn off HT and get the extra cache.
Please run benchmarks first. Things which can use 8 threads can almost always use 16 threads even better, even if they share execution units. It is workload dependent which is why I say run benchmarks, but it's actually pretty rare HT isn't a very good thing on heavy loaded anything.
You would pay extra for 8 cores no ht over a 6/12 setup? Seems like they would perform similiar at similiar heat levels.
yea the benefit aren't too great but imo 8 core with HT turned off with more cache should perform higher than 6c/12t. threading only gives 10-20% in some cases, where as 33% more cores always gonna be there along with more cache.
