Intel Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Proc

Product information: Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail Coffee Lake These codenames belong to the eight generation of Core CPUs which follow on from Kaby Lake and Skylake, although while they still share the 1151 pin socket design, due to the variety of optimisations to Coffee Lake CPUs they will not be compatible with older chipsets. Instead these processors will require Socket 1151 motherboards bearing the 300-series nomenclature. The Intel Core i5 processors from the Coffee Lake generation offer six CPU cores, high clock frequencies and new Turbo Boost features - all with a mere 95 Watt TDP! The Intel Core i5-8600K at a Glance: 6 physical cores with plenty of power 3,6 GHz Base Clock with a 95 Watt TDP 4,3 GHz Boost Clock & Turbo Boost 2.0 Unlocked multiplier for overclocking (OC) 9 Megabyte L3 Cache Support for DDR4-2.666 (Dual Channel) Updated UHD Graphics 630 Only compatible with Intel 300-series chipsets Attention: Boxed version without CPU cooler! The Intel Core i5-8600K: Powerful Hexa-Core Processor The Intel Core i5-8600K offers an unlocked multiplier and can therefore be overclocked. Yet even without overclocking the Core i5-8600K offers a clock frequency of 3,6 GHz which can, when needed, be increased up to 4,3 GHz via Turbo Boost 2.0. However, it should be noted that the boost clock rates vary depending on 1-core, 2-core, 4-core or 6-core operation, which means that the optimum performance can always be obtained from the Coffee Lake CPU, allowing the user to determine what performance is available for games or applications. The L3 cache has increased to 9 MB and the thermal design power (TDP) is 95 Watts. A major difference to the Skylake and Kaby Lake generations is that Coffee Lake is only designed for fast and efficient DDR4 memory. The quad-core processors therefore support a maximum standard clock rate of 2,400 MHz, whereas the six-core processors support up to 2,666 MHz as a standard clock rate. The LGA 1151 so...
