This new family introduces the first-ever 6-core Intel Core i5
desktop processor and first-ever 4-core Intel Core i3 desktop
processor. The family offers a wide range of performance options
for consumers with unlocked1 “K” processors that deliver maximum
tuning flexibility at each brand level and up to 40 platform PCIe
3.0 lanes for system expandability on graphics, storage and I/O.
These processors are supported with new Intel Z370 chipset-based
motherboards.
The top of the product stack – the Intel Core i7-8700K – is
Intel’s best gaming desktop processor ever.2 It is capable of 4.7
GHz maximum single-core turbo frequency, the highest frequency ever
from Intel thanks to Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, making it a
performance powerhouse for both single and multi-threaded
applications.
“We are laser-focused on giving the enthusiast community the
ultimate desktop experience, from chart-topping performance to a
platform that can flex with their needs,” said Anand Srivatsa,
general manager of the Desktop Platform Group at Intel. “Our 8th
Gen Intel Core desktop processors deliver tremendous improvements
across the board and – for gamers, in particular– offer an
unbeatable experience.”
Powerful, Fluid and Vivid Gaming
Gamers will revel in the powerful and fluid experience of
gaming. Compared with 7th Gen Intel Core, gamers gain up to 25
percent more frames per second3 on popular and demanding games like
Gears of War* 4. As gaming continues to expand to include a social
audience while playing, performance while mega-tasking is critical
so game + stream + record is now up to 2 times faster5 compared
with a 3-year-old machine.
Advanced Content Creation
Save time and create more. The 8th Gen Intel Core desktop
processor family positions Intel as the choice for speed, accuracy,
power, format compatibility, and high-quality graphics creation and
consumption. Edit 4K 360-degree videos with ease – up to 32 percent
faster6 compared with the previous generation – plus, edit content
up to 65 percent faster4 compared with a 3-year-old PC.
Better Overclocking1
Performance matters with overclocking. The 8th Gen Intel Core
unlocked1 “K” processors will overclock to higher levels than prior
generations. Intel has added new features to enhance the
experience, including per core overclocking, max memory ratio up to
8,400 MT/s, real-time memory latency control, extended PLL trim
controls, enhanced package power delivery, and updated Intel®
Extreme Tuning Utility and Intel® Extreme Memory Profile.
Enhanced Platform
For the platform, the new Intel Z370 chipset provides improved
power delivery needed for the new 6-core processors to reach their
maximum performance as well as enhanced package power delivery for
overclocking and memory routing support. More than 50 new
motherboard and system designs will be available from a variety of
leading providers.
Launch games and load media projects faster. Add Intel® Optane™
memory to desktop computer with an 8th Gen Intel Core processor to
gain additional accelerated system responsiveness, up to 2.1 times
faster7 compared with a 5-year-old desktop with HDD alone.
8th Gen Intel Core desktop processors will be available
beginning Oct. 5, 2017.
