About this deal

A hexa-core mainstream processor is a big step forward for Intel, who previously placed anything with more than four-cores within its high-end-desktop (HEDT) E- and X-series ranges. Or at least it does for general desktop tasks. When it comes to gaming, the Core i7-8700 is still very much in the race - if only just. Now, admittedly, testing any CPU's gaming performance is still rather difficult. As our friends at Digital Foundry have explained in the past, a lot of benchmarks either don't test your CPU properly, or simply aren't very accurate in the first place. Fortunately, a handful of gaming benchmarks have got a lot better at this recently, with the likes of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 4, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and more all providing an in-depth look at your CPU's performance as well as what your graphics card's doing. are draft specifications and are not final. If the final specifications differ from the draft specifications, it might affect the ability of the notebook to communicate with What’s even more impressive is Intel’s latest part beat the pants off its predecessor in all our single-core tests, too. Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS.

One of the main advantages the Core i7-8700 has over the Core i5-9600K is the fact it supports Intel's Hyper Threading technology, giving it 12 threads to deal with your PC's various tasks and instructions instead of six. This effectively gives it much better multi-tasking potential for when you're running CPU intensive applications such as photo and video editing software, as more threads a CPU has, the more hands it's got to stuff all that juicy data into the CPU's mouth, if you catch my drift. This chip soundly overtook AMD’s competing Ryzen 7 1700X in Geekbench 4, with a score several thousands of points higher – by extension, this makes the previous-generation Intel Core i7-7700K’s multi-core numbers look like a joke.

Include keywords along with product name. Examples: "LaserJet Pro P1102 paper jam", "EliteBook 840 G3 bios update" On the flipside, the 8700K is more than happy to soak up extra current and push itself beyond its rated maximum 4.7GHz frequency.

I've also focused a lot more on gaming performance in this review than I have on, say, application performance or media creation bits and bobs because, well, I'm not really interested in that. As you've already seen above, I've included some cursory Cinebench scores as a basic indicator of what each CPU will be like for general PC tasks, but really, my main goal here is to work out what CPU is the best for gaming and gaming alone.
