Coffee Lake

Whaddup you beautiful suckers!

 

So Coffee lake right? What's up with that shit?

Is it going to beat the 7700k for gaming or what's happening?

 

I'm really not updated about them.

Likely will be faster given the extra cores and threads if they are utilised properly, IPC and clock speed would be pretty similar though I suspect.

Probably not since it's the same architecture with a slightly modified process. The only difference is core count.

 

Unless it's a game that scales well with multiple cores such as Watch Dogs 2 or the pseudo-benchmark Ashes of the Singularity, I'd expect the performance of the i7-8700K to be more or less the same as the i7-7700K for the most part.

With most games, no.  With most games in the future? Yes. Destiny 2 will like the extra cores

Yeah I've heard some things about them being pretty similar either way.

So we'll likely only see a bigger difference when it comes to games and taks that like more cores?

Hm alright, this has been interesting. Thanks guys!

PUBG has recently added support for 6+ cores.

Awesome! I've been keeping an eye on that game, since I'm using a 5820k that's good news!

Yep. What Coffee Lake essentially is is a refresh of a refresh that has more cores/threads.

 

Highly multithreaded tasks would see a boost in performance, but aside from a few outliers, gaming performance would roughly be the same.

That's good to know.

It sounds sliglty like the 5820k tbh. The 6700k and 5820k were trading blows back in the day when it came to gaming, the 5820k of course winning in miltithreaded workloads. So if all the cores are like the 7700k but 6 cores it'll probably wreck the poor 5820k. Hm.

Feel pretty sad about that, bought the extreme edition CPU for a reason, not to see it get beaten by the next gens consumer CPU's dammit!

Rumour has it it will launch somewhere around october and the price for the top end part should be about 400$. Overall pricing should be lower in comparison to similar performance parts from the 7000 series.
