Delidded Core i7 8700K Processor Spotted

Delidded Core i7 8700K Processor Spotted

And the die is roughly 151mm2 in size, which is a good amount bigger compared to say the Core i7 7700K. Not at all surprising with two more cores eh?

The photo was just posted at hkepc on FB. Tomorrow reviews of the Core i7 8700K Processors will go live. The new six-core part will get 12 threads and an all-core boost up-to 4.3 GHz. The processor size itself is of course as wide as the "Kaby Lake," but the die simply is longer. Roughly 151 mm² with 126 mm² for "Kaby Lake." 

  • 6 Cores / 12 Threads
  • 12MB L3 Cache
  • UHD Graphics 630 (GT2) IGP
  • Ratio Unlocked
  • 95W TDP

How is that GPU crap? It can display 4k. It's not intended for high end photo and video editing. It's not intended for gaming. But it damn sure can display a excel spreadsheet, PDFs, word documents and email.

I feel some of you guys have no understanding of the world outside of your own bubble.
And how many of those office workers need six cores? (for typical office workers, a simple dual core would suffice) A CPU with lots of cores is better suited for heavy computing work, but as a professional computer programmer I would gladly take two more cores over an integrated GPU.

BLEH!

Can be used for *light* gaming, too, transcoding (assuming Quickthingy is still a thing), watching 4K on utub. Useful to have, just not for us "power users"...

Elaborate Excel spreadsheets, multiple VM's running. My wife works in the mortgage industry and all of their computers are i7's and still run sluggish in some instances.

I use a Core i7 3770 in my work machine and it's sluggish every day. I would kill to have two or more additional cores in my system, which would be possible if it wasn't for the crappy iGPU.

The crap iGPU (Yes it is really crap) can not just be switched out with 2 ekstra cores, the IGPU generally does not run full power when the CPU runs full power, so therefore they dont eat up the TDP budget at the same time.
If you put on 2 more cores you will end op with a Core i7-7820X or something like that and get a TDP of 120-140 because of the ekstra cores.

To state that you need a i7 because you have a high load at work is not saying much about the processor speed needed.
The Laptop or small desktop i7 processors are barely faster then a full speed i3 in some cases.
The i7 name is used for CPU´es with 2-10 cores or more
