The European prices of the upcoming Coffee Lake processors have surfaced for the entire range of products, in this news item an overview. Of course Canadian prices already had been listed, but in the EU the pricing model differs quite a bit due to taxes and exchange rates.

Looking at the differences we see that Coffee Lake will be a bit more expensive compared to the current Core i5 and i7 lines. The Core i7 8700K with six-cores and one thread will cost €389,- the 8600K with six cores and threads €273. Below an overview of prices, cores and frequencies. The prices listed will differ here and there a bit basically due to differences of VAT per country.


Processor	Cores / Threads	Base Clock	Turbo (6c)	Turbo (1c)	L3	TDP	Price
Core i7 8700K	6/12	3.7 GHz	4.3 GHz	4.7 GHz	12 MB	95 W	€ 389
Core i7 8700	6/12	3.2 GHz	4.3 GHz	4.6 GHz	12 MB	65 W	€ 327
Core i5 8600K	6/6	3.6 GHz	4.1 GHz	4.3 GHz	9 MB	95 W	€ 273
Core i5 8400	6/6	2.8 GHz	3.8 GHz	4.0 GHz	9 MB	65 W	€ 192
Core i3 8350K	4/4	4.0 GHz	NA	NA	8 MB	91 W	€ 189
Core i3 8300	4/4	4.0 GHz	NA	NA	8 MB	65 W	-

That video review was one of the best and most comprehensive reviews I have ever watched and it paints ryzen in a much better light. It's a shame that on it's own it's hard to take it 100% seriously though as no other review showed ryzen to perform that well really. Looks like other reviewers focused too much on gpu limited games and average frame rates only.

I just subscribed to that channel too.
Actually that is not true. Techpowerup and Guru3d also made nice reviews, the former showing 6% difference to 7600K and 12% to 7700K in 1080P gaming. That is just a tiny disadvantage if you take prices and performances into account together. 1500X/1600/1600X costs much less than the 7700K for minimal gaming peformance loss, and getting the same or more amount of cores and threads. Comparing the same Ryzens to the 7600K, you get even less performance loss in FHD gaming, but for the same money (1600 and 1500X are even cheaper than the 7600K) you get more threads and/or cores, meaning that you can easily run other applications in the background without having performance loss. And of course the same is true when we compare 1600/1600X to 7700K. More cores-threads, much more versatile CPU for 120$ less (+ cheaper mobo). That's a lot bang for the buck.

The problem is most sites do not make enough benchmark for proper averaging. Benchmarking 3-4 games is simply not enough. You need to do at least 10 different games, even 15-20 to get a proper result.

So, Now i5's sport 6 cores rather than 4 and people change their mind? "Yes, Now that intel does more than 4 cores, 6 core cpu's are perfect for gaming, Games love 6 cores" lmao Last week people said "Ryzen is awful, Games don't use more than 2 cores, if that" Good god people. Fanboyism much?

People criticising ryzen criticised it's low max clocks and ipc as a result of the focus on cores. No one said more cores won't be benificial, and anyone who isn't insane did 't expect a 6 core non hyperthreading cpu to somehow be magically better for gaming than a 4 core 8 thread i7....I don't know how you are combining those 2 separate things into one.

The argument is that Ryzen will perform worse in the games not using the additional cores/threads, whereas the Coffee Lake CPUs will perform well in both the single threaded and multithreaded games
