Intel Core i7-8700K Cinebench CB 15 Benchmarks
Tech Youtuber Karl Morin ran a Cinebench with Intel Core i7-8700K on a HP Omen PC. Intel's six core and twelve threads processor scored 1230 points in the multicore test. And that number is good enough to use in a bit of an overview.
Morin was attending at an event showcasing the HP Omen PC with the new Intel processor. Karl recorded a thing or two, however with an incredibly poor quality video. So, the PC did not have a monitor active yet Morin got ballsy and disconnected another monitor and closed it on the PC, then ran Cinebench. Below the multi-core result, I placed them into on of our own charts to compare with:
So I took that score and placed it into our own chart. If the Omen test system was setup right, the scores should be pretty final. The Core i7-8700K sits smack-down in-between the Ryzen 5 1600 and 1600X
Single threaded then, Intel has a Turbo 3.0 mode that will allow one application that utilize one core, to clock very high, ergo the single thread performance is rock solid, see above.

389$ Intel CPU barely beats vanilla AMD R5-1600 with a 220$ price

GG Intel!

Something isn't rigth with that multithread score.
8700K can go to 4.3GHz (6 cores) with good cooling. Maybe that HP system isn't good at that.

I got my 1600X for about 290EUR.
Then again, this is still just a leak. Until we get the numbers from The Man HH, it's too early to judge.

I rather wait for proper reviews before judging it, though all I want from the 8700K is gaming performance, don't care if its general multithreading performance is just Ryzen 5 tier.

"Coffee Lake offers 50% more performance"
Right, however according to this leak it's not even close to that. Manages to lose to Ryzen 1600 (which is cheaper mind that) in Multi-Threaded, and Single threaded performance is due to 1 core boost.
Plus it's non-soldered. Looking forward to see how tooth paste coupes with temperatures.
