Kaby Lake is the third generation of Intel's powerful 14nm processors after Broadwell and Skylake. This brings higher working frequencies with the same or even lower energy demands.
Intel launches the 8th generation Intel Core processors this time with the code labeled Coffee Lake . Basically, it is a very similar architecture to the previous successful Kaby Lake series. However, Intel has worked on various optimizations, resulting in an Intel Core i7-8700K processor that delivers real-world performance while maintaining minimal energy performance.
The Coffee Lake architecture is once again based on a 14nm production process. At first, demanding manufacturing is being handled by Intel with utterly stunning perfection, offering the Intel Core i7-8700K processor a superb price / performance ratio. For the first time ever, the core i7 came in six of the powerful kernels . Coaster gain is also accompanied by a higher working frequency, which moves up to the 4.7GHz limit in turbo mode.
Thanks to the unlocked multiplier, this processor is suitable for games with further overclocking . All you have to do is install a high-quality cooler, have enough memory and good luck on the right piece of silicon.
Access to data is greatly facilitated by a fast 12 MB L3 cache that gives kernels enough time to instantly respond to all applications . The Intel Core i7-8700K processor is guaranteed to serve as a reliable building block for playgroups. However, performance is literally on hand, so you can even plunge into virtual reality or into demanding video encoding.
The Intel Coffee Lake platform contains quite a few changes, so Intel has decided to take a rather unusual step. Although this processor uses the well-known 1151 socket, it will be necessary to buy a new motherboard - specifically a model with the Intel Z370 chipset .
Intel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor circuits and related components, powering a large share of the world's computers, devices, and machines with their powerful and reliable processors. One of the most established and successful companies to come out of Silicon Valley, they've been a driver of the technology revolution ever since.
Intel employs over 96,500 employees worldwide and is one of the biggest and richest companies in the world. For decades, their slogan was "Intel Inside"; however, they replaced with the more dynamic "Leap ahead" in 2005, signalling a renewed commitment to innovation.
