Review: Intel Core i7 8700K processor

Review: Intel Core i7 8700K processor

It is time to check out the new six-core proc from Intel, yes the Core i7 8700K will be put through our benchmark paces and yes this is Coffee Lake. The processor does a good job and manages to make a sturdy impression, as well as it being tweakable over 5.0 GHz on all six cores.

I think 720p results are a lot of work for little added information. Perhaps on a for cpu views for those wanting to know. I really like the way your views are ran presently. I find them to be very relevant in actual gaming, which I think everyone really wants most.

I would prefer minimun fps information in the current tested resolutions (or just 1080p) instead of 720p results.

More info is never a bad thing.

Pure minimum is not a good indication as it can falsely flag a runt frame as a minimum. 99 percentile should be used.

It would be fact, if it were real.

As i stated, and will continue to state since i have an FPS counter that is enabled in all games that allow, Ryzen processor + 1440p + 144hz + 1080 ti = 144fps+ in the majority of games that a 1080 ti would be capable of getting 144fps, and the games that it doesn't, intel generally doesn't get 144fps either since it's the GPU, because they are either too demanding even for a 1080 ti at the highest settings (or unoptimized), or they have an FPS cap on them and at that point, it really doesn't matter.

I'm not saying that that intel doesn't get better FPS in some games, that is fact, but it's by no means the majority, it's only in some (@1440p, 144hz, 1080 ti, highest settings possible, etc.), and most of the time when that happens, it's a very small difference, or its above 144fps either way, so who cares.

The only people who refute this are elitist intel fanboys that will hold onto one, two, MAYBE three benchmarks showing that their lord and savior performs better as to why "you'd get a better experience with Intel vs AMD at 1440p" as if somehow those 1, 2 or 3 benchmarks = all of gaming.

So my point still stands as to my reply: I don't know where this "bottom line" is that typhon6657 speaks of, since it doesn't exist.

"two, MAYBE three"

I could pull out dozens of benchmarks that refute that statement.
But one would say "oh that's a bad engine, it's an older game, who cares it's above my refresh rate" etc.

Nothing elitist about wanting a high min FPS; clearly you play different games than I.
Even BF1 8700k is significantly faster than ryzen in 64player servers, a game that's known to be well threaded.

For me, 100 vs 144fps is easily noticeable.
Ryzen is a good choice for refresh rates up to 100hz generally.
Past that, there are many games that it will not keep up.

You are rigth. I was thinking in 1% and 0,1% lows.
