Intel launches the 8th generation Intel Core processors this time with the code labelled Coffee Lak . Basically, it is a very similar to the previous successful Kaby Lake series. However, Intel has worked on various optimisations, resulting in an Intel Core i7-8700K processor that delivers real-world performance while maintaining minimal energy performance.

The Coffee Lake architecture is once again based on a 14nm production process. At first, demanding manufacturing is being handled by Intel with utterly stunning perfection, offering the Intel Core i7-8700K processor a superb price/performance ratio. For the first time ever, the core i7 came in six of the powerful kernels. It is also accompanied by a higher working frequency, which moves up to the 4.7GHz limit in turbo mode.
Intel is using a fairly common heat conductive paste between the chip and the heat transfer. Local overheating of the processor during overclocking takes a matter of seconds. The result is a noticeable drop in temperature during the maximum load.
With the unlocked multiplier, this processor is suitable for games with further overclocking. All you have to do is install a high-quality cooler, have enough memory and good luck on the right piece of silicon. Access to data is greatly facilitated by a fast 12MB L3 cache that gives kernels enough time to instantly respond to all applications.
The Intel Coffee Lake platform contains quite a few changes, so Intel has decided to take a rather unusual step. Although this processor uses the well-known socket 1151, it will require a new motherboard. Specifically, an Intel 3XX chipset.
