[Styxes]

for the coming new intel processor. Will the Coffee lake work on Maximus IX Hero motherboard? Or will it needs a new motherboard in order to work?

No, Coffee Lake will require a Z370 motherboard.

I higly doubt that it will be avaliable in 1 month.

I'm expecting it in early 2018 at best.

I hope not, I desperately need to upgrade, i gott a replace this faulty 2500k system, but need to know whether to go 6+6(8700k), 4+4(7700k) or 6 (8600k) cores depending on pricing when launch.

 

and no, I'm not interested in Ryzen, I tried a 1600x and Strix B350, and couldn't get the thing stable, constantly crashing. Black screen.. couldn't even monitor temps without crashing!

To be honest I'm also interested in that 6c/12t CPU from Intel.

If it will be priced around 350€ price mark, I might even buy it.

 

Single core performance will be amazing, that much we already know. And when it comes to multicore ... It's wouldn't be that hard to beat Ryzen 7 8c/16t CPU.

i7 6700K and 7700K can score about 1000 cinebench when it comes to multithreading.

1000/4 core = 250 * 6 cores and we come to around 1500 score mark.

 

That's assuming that IPC won't increase at all.

 

So it will get very close to Ryzen 7 8c CPUs in multithreading workload, and it will dominate in single core performance (which I'm sadly lacking right now).

 

But as far as I know, it won't be released this year.
