They don't have the Define C or the Meshify C which are things of beauty 

Oh, that is sad to know, hope someone sell it here.

This will give you the rough estimate of how much Coffee Lake will cost you in your region.

 

Pricing from PCHub Philippines:

 

 

Actual Conversion, Tax included:

• i7 8700 - PHP 17,620 = USD 343.30
• i7 8700k - PHP 20,950 = USD 408.18

 

Note:

This store sometimes priced their products higher if they are the only one who are selling it, for example here the price of Ryzen 1950x is USD 1169.021.

For me, right now, the pricing is not that good especially here, I am confident this price will decrease once other stores start to sell Coffee Lake too. The prices right now are not that competitive against the Ryzen offerings especially here where people always look for budget oriented builds, for example a Ryzen 1700 is just PHP 16,000 or USD 311.74. I do hope that the price will be the same as their predecessors but it may not happen. My opinion may change once the benchmarks are released.

 

given trends in india its gonna be about 40ish K INR , :'(

Like run my ram at JEDEC speeds for an entire month. 

Whoa, now!  Let's not get crazy here.

Damn. PHP4K+ over the R7 1700, and doesn't come with a sweet stock cooler that has RGB can cool even a mild OC.

 

Guess I'mma go stick with mah AyyMD. :V

 

But seriously, at least there's already 'the other choice' that's not a 4 core/8 thread CPU at the equivalent price bracket. At least...

Yes I agree. Hope motherboards will be competitive too and will have an long-term upgrade path like AM4.

I've never seen Intel do this in the decade+ I've been into this stuff outside of their HEDT platform, and even then it was only like 2 generations.

 

As is, we know Kaby Lake's platform is dead since Coffee Lake won't support it, so I won't be holding my breath.

Will 7700k CPU's work in the new boards?

 

If not, fuck Intel, I'm going AMD with my next purchase.

Price of 8600k is added.

Why would you upgrade the motherboard before the CPU? There's rarely ever a reason to.

New features would be one reason.  Upgrading in stages (get the motherboard now, replace the CPU later) would be another reason.  Also, motherboard failing and wanting to replace it with something newer yet not needing to upgrade the CPU at that time.  There's lots of reasons you may not have considered.

Eh, there aren't really any new features on the board afaik.

I've considered them all, and none bothered me. It's Intel as usual. People shouldn't be surprised.

I wasn't referring to any specific board.  You just said you didn't see any reason to upgrade the board first, so I gave you a few reasons why it might be prudent to do so.

I was referring to a specific one when I made the comment, thus your reply is a little out of context.

What specific board?  I don't see any specific board being discussed, just the new chipset.

Sounds pretty generalized to me.

I'm in my 3rd decade now, Intel have never really been interested in maintaining old hardware compatability.  In fact no one has.  That is why you can't put ddr 3 in a ddr4 motherboard or upgrade a phenom (AM2/3) to an FX (FM1/2). In fact you can't even put an AM2 CPU into an AM3 board.    AMD has traditionally had about a 3 year socket life for their gear while Intel has run with 2 years.    Nothing new here, so I don't really understand why anyone thought it would be different.   Even when the rumors first came out that CL was going to use 1151 people got excited at the thought of being able to whack a CF CPU in their current mobo (because it wasn't expected).

Though I do not necessarily agree with your comparison (FM1/2 and AM2/3/3+ are not the same type of platform, and AM3 chips were backwards compatible with AM2 boards), overall I do agree :).

 

I always felt like Kaby Lake was just a DOA type platform from the start in terms of value and an upgrade path.

 

Here we are, 10 months later, and it's already essentially dead. Part of that is thanks to AMD, of course.

Fair enough about the platform thing, however not all AM2 motherboards supported AM3 cpu's and that as an upgrade path wasn't really flash given the only real improvement you were getting from the the AM3 CPU was 1 extra core and some minor internal improvements (in most cases).  All the other advantages like ddr3 etc where not supported by the mobo.

 

I'm not trying to pull AMD  down here, just trying to show  that the concept of there ever being a straightforward CPU only upgrade path that is viable has never really existed, let alone banking on one in the future.

No, they won’t. Which is precisely why I am also moving to AMD… and I was holding my breath for support out of my Z170 board. It’s a massive waste.

 

All that’s left now is for a nice mITX board from AMD to come along… and I’m very apt to go all the way with Ryzen 7.

Same because the NZXT Manta is freaking awesome looking.

[koji]

Just wanna point out that in PH, PCHub is one of those who sell with the cheapest price.

 

But their online customer service is real shyt and their process for warranty claims are tedious. Well they're not scared of losing customers because of their competitive pricing.

i5 8400 and i3 8100 are added.

[pajpaj]

8350k is added.
