Intel Core i5 8600K processor review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/13/2017 12:14 PM [ 96 comment(s) ]

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.

Well, with 6 real cores, the argument for spending extra on the i7 for gaming has been massively reduced with the 8600K.

In quite a few games there was a real, tangible difference in framerates between the 7600K & 7700K, but that's no longer the case with the 8600K & 8700K.

If all your after is a CPU for gaming, then the $100 saved and put towards a better GPU, is by far the more sensible option this time.

Thank you very for lower reso benchmarks, clearly shows how well this CPU can push frames compared to ryzen.

This is indeed very nice CPU to get for gaming with high refreshrate panels.
Shame games cant properly utilize cores and still rely heavily on IPC.

Well since the availability is still close to null, this product is borderline vaporware.

no i5 7600k in the benchmark is mistake in my opinion as it is it's predecessor and was (is ) very popular CPU. Also the prices here a not that terrible , you can get i5 8600k for 300euros. I would take it tomorrow if not the fact i have to replace motherboard, i wish intel would change that ...

Overall it seems like a king CPU for gaming vs price ?
