Linus Tech Tips: Proof that you could mess almost anything up, and still somehow be okay.

Source: http://wccftech.com/intel-core-i7-8700k-cpu-benchmarks-leak/amp/http://wccftech.com/intel-core-i7-8700k-cpu-benchmarks-leak/amp/ Anyone else think Intel has been a little too quiet during AMD's comeback? Well, judging from these benchmarks and rumoured CPU lineup for 8th generation chips, I'd say they listened to what AMD had to say, and now are ready to reply. The i7-8700k looks like a very capable chip with 6 cores and 12 threads, but what honestly interests me is the i5-8600k, with 6 cores and 6 threads (rumoured, I should point out). Curious to see how it'll stack up to AMD's lineup, as the Ryzen 7 is still offering more cores, but as Intel always seems to get right, I'm sure single-core performance will be excellent and the chips will clock to higher frequencies. Let me know what you think. My biggest concern for Intel is everyone who had a system that was a few years old switch/upgrade to Ryzen, and I'm not sure how many people are left in that category who would be heading in Intel's direction. Just food for thought. ***Note: The attached image(s) are screenshots of the referenced website's chart(s), and are not my intellectual property.
