![]() Again, the 8700K outperforms other CPUs by a significant margin, except in pass 2 where the Ryzen 7 1700X trails by less than one frame a second. X264 is the most demanding CPU-focused test that simulates video encoding and consists of two separate runs. This is an example of more cores at work, but also the higher efficiency of Coffee Lake. And the Ryzen 7 1700X is neck and neck with its score of 1528. It also beats out AMD's cheaper six-core 1600X, which scored 1179. CPU Benchmark Results Cinebench R15Ĭinebench R15 is a common CPU benchmark to indicate how well your system handles image rendering. System Specifications CPUĪll systems ran on Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. AMD's Ryzen 5 1600X is equipped with the same core and thread count but it's much cheaper, ranging from $220 to $250. AMD's Ryzen 7 1700X (which costs between $300 to $400) is similarly priced as the 8700K but rocks 8 cores and 16 threads. The 7700K released earlier this year and it's equipped with four cores and eight threads with a base clock of 4.2GHz that can boost to 4.5GHz. We're going to compare the 8700K directly to three other CPUs: the Core i7-7700K, AMD Ryzen 7 1700X, and Ryzen 5 1600X. For consistency's sake, we used the same or similar specs to previous builds: 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 2133MHz from HyperX, a Samsung 850 PRO SSD, NZXT's Kraken X62 water cooler, and a reference GTX 980 GPU-which can still hold its own in contemporary games. To benchmark the CPU, we built our testbed around the Asus Maximus X Hero Z370 motherboard. Like Kaby Lake processors, Coffee Lake CPUs are built with the 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. It has more memory built into the die with 12MB of 元 cache, but takes on a 95W TDP, which is slightly higher than its predecessor's 91W TDP. Like all "K" models, it comes unlocked for manual overclocking. It can also automatically boost one core to 4.7GHz, two cores to 4.6GHz, or all cores to 4.3GHz through Intel's Turbo Boost technology. That means you'll have to shell out the dough for a new motherboard.Īs for technical details, the 8700K sports a base clock speed of 3.7GHz across all cores. All past motherboards, including ones with the Z270 chipset that released earlier this year, are incompatible with Coffee Lake CPUs, even though they all use the same LGA 1151 socket. All 8th-gen Coffee Lake CPUs require a motherboard with the Z370 chipset. Now Playing: Intel Core i7-8700K CPU Review The Core i7-8700K CPU alongside a penny for scale.
