Intel Core i5 8600 processor (65W) review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/03/2018 08:04 AM [ 16 comment(s) ]

Intel released a new six-core processor the Core i5 8600 (non-K model) through our benchmark paces. This proc is again a six-core processor that you will need to seat on a Z370, H370 or B360 chipset based motherboard. While it isn't fitted with hyper-threading, it might, however, be one sweet gaming processor with its low 65W TDP, a 3.1 GHz base-clock and an all-core turbo of 4.1 GHz.
