Intel Core i7-8700 3.2GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Proce

Product information: Core i7-8700 3.2GHz (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 i7 processors from the Coffee Lake generation offer six CPU cores, high clock frequencies and new Turbo Boost features - all with a mere 65 Watt TDP! The Intel Core i7-8700 at a Glance: 6 physical cores, 12 logical cores thanks to SMT! 3,2 GHz Base Clock with 65 Watt TDP 4,6 GHz Boost Clock with Turbo Boost 2.0 12 Megabyte L3 Cache Support for DDR4-2.666 (Dual Channel) Revised UHD Graphics 630 Only compatible with Intel 300-series chipsets Attention: Boxed version with CPU cooler! The Intel Core i7-8700: Hexa-Core Processor with Hyper-Threading The Intel Core i7-8700 comes with a clock frequency of 3,2 GHz which, using Turbo Boost 2.0, can increase up to 4,6 GHz when needed. 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 12 Megabytes, the Thermal Design Power (TDP) sits at 65 Watts and as a Core i7 this Hexa-Core processor comes with Intels Hyper-Threading technology and can therefore not only process six but rather 12 threads simultaneously. A fundamental difference compared to Skylake- and Kaby Lake generations lies in the fact that Coffee Lake only uses the fast and efficient DDR4 RAM. The quad-core processors support a maximum standard clock frequency of 2.400 MHz, while the hexa-core processors permit clock f...
