It is overclocking, just the mobo doing it for you.

yes but you know what I mean, it doesn't require manually setting up voltages or changing clock speeds.  It's about as close to the turbo button as we have these days

Also even though you're technically pushing it beyond the stock config, you're not making it run any faster than it already could, you're just making more cores do it at once.

5GHz on 1 core sadly .

 

Watch how some OEMs are gonna try to enable Enhanced Multicore Turbo for it.

I thought the latest turbo boost tech was for 2 cores?

the only real benefit is free Floatplane

I wouldn't call that a benefit.

MSI's game boost is closer.

[NumLock21]

Turbo to 5GHZ, means you can probably OC beyond that. 6GHz would be nice.

Wasn't that more of a "slow down" button? It would be nice to have a button that would 1 press OC or back to stock for stability.

Will it use Mayo or solder as TIM?

Actually tho it would've been cooler if it ran at 4.77GHz just as the icing on the cake

Who knows, maybe it will have an all core boost of 4.77GHz and a single core boost of 5GHz.

How is that not a benefit?

Habe you not read my opinion on LTT's content?

I'd say Bitwit's quality is petering off as well.

@NumLock21 The 8086 wasn't their first CPU though, the 4004 was

Fun fact, as you correctly stated the 4004 was Intel's first CPU but it wasn't the world's first. That accolade goes to the Four Phase AL1 which released 2 whole years before the 4004.

 

The thing with CPUs this early is they were literally calculators compressed into one chip, I know that sounds odd as all CPUs are calculators but you know what I mean. They were designed to run calculators of the time period without the need for multiple chips handling different parts of the logic array.

 

Pretty much everything from the AL1 to the Intel 8080 were designed to power calculators, it wasn't until the 8086 when Intel moved to 16 bit and introduced the X86 architecture that CPUs became what we think of today and IMO Intel owe much of their huge popularity to IBM, if IBM hadn't used Intel 8086 CPUs in the original IBM PC things might have turned out very differently.

Coffee lake doesn't support Intel Max Turbo 3.0 though unless I'm mistaken.

 

I think  it's only supported on X299 Skylake X.

[Fasterthannothing]

Honestly even if its like $200 - $300  more than a normal i7 8700k I'll buy it for two reasons one a siliconlottery i7 that can do 5.2ghz is $659.99 and two its a 40th anniversary chip that alone is worth the price considering the resale value will be high.

It will use this

@AluminiumTech Only their Core i9 has Turbo Boost 3.0. On X99 their Broadwell-E also have Turbo Boost 3.0.

The history of CPUs is always one that's fun to actually learn about Too bad they don't teach it properly in most schools.

Yeah, I love the history of tech in general. That and obscure tech are 2 subjects I spend hours reading about or watching videos about.

Nah, they get it custom made

Fun fact, that's fry sauce and the west coast has had it for decades, so Heinz can go fuck themselves for trying to claim that they invented it.

-snip-

 

or OC just when you need it. (i.e. playing a game where you want every ounce of performance)

and then turn it off when your done/just doing light use to increase lifespan of chip.

With the 8700k specifically as far as I know it's actually pretty easy to get that

>Pretty easy

 

There's the problem.

 

With all the normies running around plastering their 5GHz 8700Ks all over the show it hasn't became special anymore. Now any pleb can do it. Instead focus must shift to HCC CPUs achieving such a marvelous result. Only the enthusiasts can save us now from complete normie takeover.

Doesn't reaching 6GHz require LN2? Would be nice if you can now do it with just air cooler.

[Clanscorpia]

Id get one just for that sticker

Absolutely. Nobody is going to go near that clock for a while. Even with phase/cascade it'll be quite difficult.

I'll entrench forever on the idea of prehistoric PCs being superior to current PCs until I can switch between stock and an OC profile with a push of a hardware button.

Booting to BIOS? Loading preset? Save & restart? Ain't nobody got time for that!

(I can settle for a knob flipping through increasingly aggressive profiles. Just so that I can "turn it to 11". Once, most likely.)

Well, it was in the sense that there was no reason not to have the highest speed enabled, so typically pressing it would imply switching turbo off from its normal on state.

In the end, the button switched between a slower and a faster mode, so what to call it is a matter of conventions
