Intel Core i7 8086K confirmed

[NumLock21]

A while back there has been talks about Intel releasing a anniversary CPU called the Core i7 8086K. Information from the web has confirmed Intel Core i7 8086K is indeed real and can be pre-ordered. Intel Core i7 8086K is to celebrate their 8086 processor which came out 40 years ago. Intel 8086 ran at a clock speed of 5 to 10MHz. The new Core i7 8086K comes at clock at speed of 4GHz, turbo to 5GHz, 6 cores/12 threads, and runs 300 series socket 1151. Pre order time is around June 8th, 2018.

June 8th marks 40 years since the introduction of Intel’s most famous processor — the 8086. The 8th Gen Core series launched last year are the perfect opportunity to celebrate this occasion with a special edition named Core i7-8086K.

Some retailers have already started listing the new SKU on their websites, indicating 70 USD/EUR premium over i7-8700K (~480/470 EUR).

Not much is known at this point, but the CPU is rumored to be 5.0 GHz chip out of the box. It is, however, still expected to be a 6-core SKU.

Sounds like a special edition 8700k.

On one hand, this chip makes me want to upgrade from Kaby Lake just because it is special.

 

On the other hand, 4c/8t is doing just fine for me and I'd rather funnel the money into another PC considering platform costs (damn you Intel)

Another pc with this cpu. Then you get the best of both worlds.

Now that you mention it, that's actually not a bad idea. I'd be downsizing my 7700K to mini-ITX, but Z270 boards should be relatively cheap since they only just went out of support. I kind of want a Zen chip, but I could get a really nice ITX board like a Maximus VIII Impact.

Doubt they'll be that cheap in reality.

It's possible that they will be. It doesn't seem to be limited production, and the Pentium G3258 (Intel's last Anniversary Edition chip) didn't get price gouged. That being said, the fact that this is an i7 could change things.

maybe if the plan is to completely obliterate AMD.

you can try finding a mod online for your board to work with the coffeelake cpu, the guys over at taobao have done this with H110 boards already.

So its a binned 8700k with 8086k printed on it?

Devil's Coffee

  I usually find it hard to believe people actually cough up the dough when companies do this,  but given I was using the 8086 and actually worked on pc's using them at the time. I find myself one of those morons looking to buy it just for the name and marketing.

[Droidbot]

this was leaked weeks ago.

 

some dude bought QN8G (8700K ES) and got 8086K ES with higher clocks.

 

 

clocks were the same too

 

[Froody129]

The stock clocks are fine and all but I wonder if the binning process makes them viable for even higher overclocks. Maybe someone on chilled water will get a 5.5 chip going

It's a lot cheaper than buying a binned chip that gets the same results. This would be perfect for people wanting even higher performance without messing around with overclocks.

Assuming the leaks/rumours are true, you get 300 MHz lift on base and turbo, for some extra cost over the 8700k. I do wonder if they're copying AMD here, in that by selling a "better binned" CPU, you don't necessarily get any more overclocking headroom as you just get something closer to the limit to start with. Maybe 100 or 200 MHz more than a lesser binned CPU, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

Having missed out on catching the 8700k hype train, I do wonder if the 8086k is a time to bite. I'll await street pricing and overclocking reports before deciding.

Be interesting to if silicon lottery sees any difference in their ratios of 5.0 GHz chips and above or if this is strictly a marketing gimmick with base clocks just lifted.

I've never owned a single Intel system in my life (save for my Atom-based cell phone), but I'm quite tempted to buy this just to have.

I mean... you should really give it to them. This market strategy works! Now you only need to give it a special name (“aniversary edition”) and say there is not a lot of stock (“limited edition”) and unfortunate people will buy it anyways:

'cause it is 

[Princess Luna]

Yeah my brother is extremely pissed at Intel trolling us, he "needs" the 8 cores Coffee Lake for his work build as he is unsatisfied with the Ryzen 7 1800X build and now that Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas can further boost its performance using the iGPU the performance gains makes HEDT completely useless to people like him.

 

You see the i7 8700K with iGPU hardware acceleration is actually performing almost as good as TR 1950X / i9 7900X in his applications while having the best single thread performance all around and all on a much cheaper platform.

 

For someone like him who has needs and use for more cores and power but has no use for much PCI-e lanes and 64GB of RAM manages to suffice for the daily workloads the 8 cores coffee lake is by all means the ultimate value for money, he sold the i9 7900X and the x299 board in anticipation for the z390 and it.

 

So he has the money but trust me is lacking patience for this delayed release... Intel wants to milk it's costumers as much as possible with the 6 cores model before finally releasing the 8 cores one and that pisses both of us.

 

Been waiting months already for something that already exists and is confirmed and when Intel finally releases something it was nothing but an idiotic binned i7 8700K for a premium price tag.

Why would you care to this chip? it IS an i7 8700K, like literally who didn't manage to lock it at 5ghz with sufficient cooling? makes no sense get one of these just keep waiting for the 8 cores variant that there's still good chance will run on our z370 boards.

Not all 8700k will do 5 GHz all cores at sane settings, which is realistically what you'd target. Of course, there's no guarantee that a 5 GHz one core turbo CPU will do any better in this.

 

I don't need any of these... but need and want are different things. I want a 2700X. I want 8086k. I want whatever the 8 core will be. I want an i9. If I bite at any point depends on a lot of factors. Biggest one should be selling off some older systems to make some space...  Maybe I should finish the 7800X build some day... which BTW was another contributing factor in not getting 8700k.

base 4.0 ghz turbo to 5.0 ghz I am wondering why don't they just bump the base up at this point
