Intel Core i7 8700K 6-Core Coffee Lake And i5 8400K Spotted in SANDRA
Intels upcoming Core i7 8700K 6-Core Coffee Lake And i5 8400K processors have been spotted in the SiSoft SANDRA database, meaning we have some new numbers to compare.
The scores spotted by hothardware are the Core i7-8700K with its 6 physical cores and 12 threads shows its scores against a Core i7 7700K:
- Processor Arithmetic: 217.98 GOPS (versus 149.99 GOPS)—45 percent increase
- Processor Multi-Media: 658.57 Mpix/s (versus 447.76 Mpix/s)—47 percent increase
- Processor Cryptography: 10.47 GB/s (versus 9.34 GB/s)—12 percent increase
- Scientific Analysis (Single Precision): 61.41 GFLOPS (versus 48.51 GFLOPS)—26 percent increase
- Scientific Analysis (Double Precision): 32.11 GFLOPS (versus 24.40 GFLOPS)—32 percent increase
Then there is the Core i5-8400K, also a 6 physical cores processor but lacking Hyper Threading (compared to a Core i5 7600K).
- Processor Arithmetic: 145.05 GOPS (103.66 GOPS)—40 percent increase
- Processor Multi-Media: 420.54 Mpix/s (279.69 Mpix/s)—50 percent increase
- Processor Cryptography: 9.78 GB/s (8.45 GB/s)—14 percent increase
- Scientific Analysis (Single Precision): 71.68 GFLOPS (51.38 GFLOPS)—39 percent increase
- Scientific Analysis (Double Precision): 31.35 GFLOPS (26.72 GFLOPS)—17 percent increase
Coffee Lake shows around a 32 percent improvement die top the two extra cores.

Well that is opinion, because fact is those processors are selling. Cost or not. No sides here just looking at facts from Newegg and Amazon. Would I? No. But those people who did have bought future-proof systems. There is nothing wrong with the 7740X or 7800X. They will eat up games. Gotta realize....a gamer will want what performs best in games. Gotta know whats under the hood like a car. Ryzen can handle games sure, but 7740X will still eat up Ryzen in Games alone. So if that is what someone will do, they will buy it.
Myself, I am looking at the i7 8700K. Mainstream 6 core like that? Yes, I'll take it. That performance is what we have been wanting. It can achieve a 50% increase over the i7 7700k or more OC'd. Intel was able to make something happen in response to Ryzen with the 7700X etc. That is competition, that is what we needed in the CPU segment.
So hopefully AMD and Intel both can still do just that in the coming years. AMD finally has something going, as long as they stick to it and not try something crazy for a while that nobody supports through architecture and Instructions.
Way to go Intel you have made redundant your i5 7640X, i7 7740X & your i7 7800X before they even get into peoples hands since they processors are more expensive and on a significantly more expensive platform. Coffee lake wasn't due out till 1st half of 2018 and has been pushed up nearly half a year. Looks like the original delay was due to lack of competition and not because the product wasn't ready.

Mate, the delays companies in such scale as Intel push make them million or billions. When they don't need to release the best they got, they departmetalize it and slowly releasing it while milking people. This can't be more obvious. You would do the same. By the way, can't wait for the legendrary i5 8600K with 6C/CT. Fortunately never cared about hyperthreading. Also, leaked prices -if true- say the 8600 at 350$... A bit expensive. Only the i5 8400 will have 215$.

I don't plan to build another PC till March 2018 so this just makes me super excited for how good Ice Lake is gonna be. That's where Intel should truly try and go for the kill against AMD

Its the first time i am running Sisoft sandra in a couple of years, but if my numbers are right, these new chips are still up against the R7 1700 Ryzen.
If correct this is far from legendary.
