The 8700K is my next CPU, mhmmmm
From what I understand, they've changed the socket alignment notches.I haven't been following Coffee Lake. Why do you have to go to a new mobo if it's using 1151? Could they bios flash 270s or something like they did with Kaby?
299 euro for the i5, what does that translate to in USD?
Seems damn high, but I guess what should I expect from Intel.
Don't European prices include VAT plus additional markup for Nordic countries? US prices don't include taxes which could be over 10% depending on location.I wouldn't compare them directly to USD, prices in Nordic countries tend be high. For instance, the Switch launched at around 400 here (~$480).
I think the takeaway is that it doesn't seem to launch at a significantly higher price than the 7700K did, though the obviously the latter can be found cheaper now. But we'll see once we find out USD/GBP etc prices.
I'm not sure 8700k will be better than 7700k for emulation.I sure hope the rumored number are true, I badly want to upgrade for emulation ( Cemu ) my 2500k overclocked at 4.7 is showing it's age, and while a 7700K is already tempting, the 8700k would be a little more 'future proof'.

Better than a 2500k and as good or at least close to a 7700k is really all I want, I don't really expect it to beat the 7700k for emulation.I'm not sure 8700k will be better than 7700k for emulation.

See the notches on the left and right sides? Those have been moved, so even though the socket is the same, the Skylake/Kaby Lake processors won't fit, and likewise the Coffee Lake ones won't fit in older boards.
Lets hope they don't use cheap TIM again.
60hz.
Hell to the no. If you got a 7700K, don't even think of upgrading till the next CPU cycle after Coffee Lake.Sigh, I would really want this but realistically- if I just made my build with a 7700k, does it make sense to upgrade right now? 😩
It doesn't, I'd wait a couple CPU cycles after Coffee Lake to upgrade, maybe even wait until DDR5 unless you really need more cores.Sigh, I would really want this but realistically- if I just made my build with a 7700k, does it make sense to upgrade right now? 😩
7 years old, so 1st gen Core architecture (i3 300 / i5 700 / i7 800~900 series)?Every part of my current PC is 7 years old. If I were to put together a new build soon do i want Coffee Lake?
Unless Intel screws up the pricing or availability of these parts, yes, probably.Every part of my current PC is 7 years old. If I were to put together a new build soon do i want Coffee Lake?

Yeah, you would need a new MB. With a 6700K, I think I would wait a couple CPU cycles before upgrading, unless you need more cores.So if I currently have a 6700k and I am interested in a 8700k, would I need a new mobo even though its a 1151 socket?
My Ryzen 1600X was 70€ cheaper than the i5. I really don't regret this purchase.

If you're a PC gamer, yeah, I would upgrade to Coffee Lake.

Edit:
This seems incredibly dumb, is there a reason to move the notches?
Like yourself my PC is 7 years old, I'm still running an i7 920, 6GB with a Nvidia 670.
It's upgrade time for me before Destiny 2 releases and I'm leaning more towards Ryzen at this point even though it looks like Coffeelake will maintain the gaming crown, Ryzen 5/7 cost vs performance is just too good to ignore.
I've got a 5820k at 4.4Ghz right now.
Worth the hassle to upgrade to 8700k purely for gaming?
Running Titan XP playing at 4k/60hz. Planning on switching to Volta Titan day one, but that still seems pretty far out.
So Intel's partners can make *new motherboards that customers wanting to upgrade to 8th Gen have to buy, thus making their partners money?So if I currently have a 6700k and I am interested in a 8700k, would I need a new mobo even though its a 1151 socket?

The 8700k would be the successor to my 2500k if my house renovations hadn't bled me dry. Being an adult sucks.
I mean... have you hit a situation yet where the 6700k isn't fast enough? I have a 2600k and only from upgrading my GPU to a 1070 a couple of weeks ago have I FINALLY had my CPU become a bottleneck, and even then only in CPU intensive games that are poorly optimised like Fallout 4. I'm always confused when I see people with still very recent CPUs talking about upgrading. What do you guys use them for?So if I currently have a 6700k and I am interested in a 8700k, would I need a new mobo even though its a 1151 socket?
Wondering if these new CL mobos will have PCIe 4.0. I hope they do at least.
Futher confirmation on locked to 1151 chipset and full details on base clock speeds - https://videocardz.com/72448/asrock-confirms-coffee-lake-s-on-1151-socket
Also you can check videocardz for a bunch of leaks of Motherboards.
Not fully sure. But I want 4.0 regardless haha.Does anything saturate 3.0 yet?

Seems like current rumors have the i5 8400 with a 3.8GHz all core turbo and 4.0GHz 1 core turbo?i3 8100 4cores/4threads @ 3.6ghz for 150$ paired with something like gtx2060(cca 200$) will be killer budget pc for next 3-4 years on 1080p on medium/high setting at 60fps.
I wish if they would put i5 8500 6c/6t @ 3.5ghz. i5 8400 seems way too low at just 2.8ghz.
Still hope they will release i5 8500 at at least 3ghz+ for 210-220$
As far as I remember all Intel mainstream socket CPUs always used "cheap TIM". I don't expect this to change for CFL.
