Intel Core i5 8600K processor review

We'll check out the more mainstream six-core proc from Intel as we put the Core i5 8600K through our benchmark paces. This $257 USD proc is again a six-core processor that you will need to seat on a Z370 chipset based motherboard. While it isn't fitted enabled with hyper-threading, it might, however, be one sweet gaming processor with its all-core turbo to 4.1 GHz and again it being tweakable to 5.0 GHz on all six cores.

This looks nice for the dedicated gamer. If I wanted to keep a gaming pc more then ~2 years or so without upgrading the CPU I think I would want more threads, but if you plan to upgrade every 2-3 years and don't play the smallish amount of games that actually use more then 6 cores/threads then this i5 8600K is a superb buy. For almost everyone else out there I'd get a Ryzen 1700.

I guess I missed this review. This looks like a good cpu for the future but don't see any reason to upgrade from my 6600k for now since I use a 4k 60hz display.
