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

And intel did it again, another whole system change lol, and now they says "40% higher performance" @50% more cores? that´s less IPC or less Base clocks? lol

R5-1600 is the way, RYZEN is the choice
Another Ryzen to get an R5 1600/X.

This will require a new motherboard as well. And judging by AMD past it is highly unlikely that Zen+ CPUs will be compatible with AM4/TR4 motherboards.
Still, unless there is pinout difference, it is highly likely to work on selected motherboards if BIOS is upgraded by manufacturers.

Yup, same. From what I recall you had Ryzen 1700? Planning to get same one for home rig, with x370 Taichi and 16gb 3200ram.
Recently made a Ryzen system at my work with 1800x, it is fantastic bang for the buck.
