Canadian etailer publishes Intel 8th Gen Desktop CPU prices
If all pre-announcements and rumors have been right, tomorrow Intel will announce their 8th gen Core desktop processors. In Canada at an etailer called PC Canada, the prices have leaked.
It seems that prices are going upwards a bit, the Core i7 8700K would be roughly 5% more expensive, the i5 8600K nearly 8%. The rest stays under a 5% margin. Website videocardz spotted these results:
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I7-8700K PROCESSOR [BX80684I78700K]: $484.44
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I7-8700 PROCESSOR [BX80684I78700]: $407.73
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I5-8600K PROCESSOR [BX80684I58600K]: $338.00
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I5-8400 PROCESSOR [BX80684I58400]: $237.58
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I3-8350K PROCESSOR [BX80684I38350K]: $233.41
- INTEL BOXED 8TH GEN INTEL I3-8100 PROCESSOR [BX80684I38100]: $152.51
The release tomorrow should be a paper launch as there are no processors available or stock to be found anywhere. For more info on the specififcation of these coffee lake processors, have a look here.
| Processor Line | 7th Gen | 8th Gen | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core i7-x700K | $462.41 | $484.44 | +4.8% |
| Core i7-x700 | $406.35 | $407.73 | +0.3% |
| Core i5-x600K | $313.95 | $338.00 | +7.7% |
| Core i5-x400 | $235.87 | $237.58 | +0.7% |
| Core i3-x350K | $241.82 | $233.41 | -3.5% |
| Core i3-x100 | $149.08 | $152.51 | +2.3% |
Mind you these are CAD prices not listed at USD. So the 8700K at 484.44 would be 389 USD and 329 Euro. These prices would be exclusive of VAT. PC Canada has not delivery ETA yet mentions that the procs are estimated to arrive on 2017-09-16

Not that I'd need Intel to confirm that: I assume that for every "new" CPU they release.
I'm not sure I understand your question, the tittle says: "Coffee Lake will not work on current motherboards"
Lmao
Intel is disappointing me since 2012 and after 2017, it will be hard for me to ever go Intel again soon.

Wake me up when they start making them 8 core. At this rate the competition will hit 16 core mainstream before they do 8
