51% increase on multi-core performance?

 

Dayum....

If you increase your core count 50% why would you not expect your multi-core performance to increase by 51%?

 i7-8700K priced at 384 USD... not bad stopped me from ordering a 1700 for now.....

Any mobile news?

Only one was that 8500U, I need news about them mobile HQ.

Yeah, all I could find on mobile news for 8th generation is this video:

 

 

However, I think some of the earlier news regarding Coffee Lake was about mobile processors.

No one called KLX a new arch though.

Don't worry, just making a terrible joke .

Does my back count when I broke it trying to "handle" the water-cooler "with care"?

I'm still processing Lead's "joke," I'll get back to you on that.

Personally I think they should go for xX-Kaby-Lake-Xx-360-No-Sc0p3-Xx

Will be upgrading from my beloved 6 year old 2600K to an 8700K =)

You have lived a hard and thankless life my dear 2600K, but now it's time step away and become a server (or HTPC).

My vote goes towards HTPC.

These U cpus are crap. Pathetic base clock and when shoved into a thin ass laptop. The fan screams for mercy, even when it's idle. I need power beast of mobile cpu, them HQ!

Revenge... when AMD caught em off guard with Ryzen and whatnot. The whole naming scheme and Intel is just a mess in general right now. I'm still waiting for the 7980XE to see what'll happen.

What do you mean "see what'll happen" The 16c intel chip already whoops threadripper around lol.  Obviously it costs more and the price to performance is worse, but you get what ya pay for.

[Orangeator]

The 6 core 12 thread chip @$400, even though faster, is going to have a really tough time "competing" with the very aggressively priced 6 core 12 thread 1600 chip @$200... I mean seriously, for %50 more dough, it better be %50 faster than the 1600.

But to professionals, is a little less performance (were talking seconds in video editing, maybe a minute or two with larger exports) worth the hundreds of more dollars? Not to mention that's hundreds more just for the CPU, not including the well Intel taxed motherboards...

That i5 8400 pricing looks damn good. if the clock speed comes close to 4ghz man it'll be a hard decision between this and the 1600x

[Grinners]

I checked a couple of Canadian shops and 7700k was $480. ( http://m.bestbuy.ca/defaultpage.aspx?lang=en#/catalog/productdetails.aspx?ajax=true&lang=en-ca&pcname=&sku=11184060 )

 

So that would imply the 8700k is the same price as the 7700k ($5 more).

 

Difference in price is probably just Canada tax companies charge for the extra work of exporting.

Intel stealing the B360 name from AMD just screams petty.

AMD took X370. Maybe Intel's just getting revenge.

It would have been hilarious if Intel had picked B370.

[themctipers]

$500 Cad

 

So like, a 1700 is only $350

[Nicnac]

Interested to see the i3 price. Might be relevant again

[MyName13]

Nobody mentions the most interesting CPUs?i3 8100 and i5 8400? 6 cores for 180$ will be insane.
