Wait for coffee lake?

[Naretto95]

Hi ! I'm going to buy a new pc, and i'm wondering if i should wait for coffee lake (with the 6 cores). I only want to play games, i don't render or anything (so please no "GO RYZEN") and i play on 1080p 144Hz, so that's why i choose intel. There's the question : should i buy a I7 7700K or wait for I7 8700K?

If you can wait, then obviously wait.

yh but i'm wondering if it's going to be a real jump in the cpu market, not like what they do since 5 years, because there'll be 6 cores. And if i wait, i still dunno if it's gonna be worth since all the 6 cores cpu from intel are worse in gaming than the 7700K.

You obviously should wait, it's just 2 more weeks tops and you'll be paying the exact same for those extra 2 "free" cores that games WILL take advantage of.

No the i7 8700k is literally an i7 7700k but with extra 2 cores, your single core performance will still the highest in the market, I sold my old i7 3970x in anticipation to buy this CPU in particularly, it'll be a gaming beast.

Okay thanks i think i'll wait too, just hope they wont fail like the skylake X.

if you dont need to upgrade right now do let the dust settle and see what happens

just go x58 and a hexacore Xeon, and you'll be fine....see there's your six cores......and more than dual channel RAM....it could be triple channel
