For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...

Intel's 6-core 8th generation Core i7-8700K CPU is the reality check to high-performance, high-priced CPUs like the $2,000 Core i9 and $1,000 AMD RYzen Threadripper. The real battle for the desktop and consumer's wallets is with this amazingly affordable...
Ultimately how we judge the Core i7-8700K comes down to two areas: Performance and price.In performance, it's pretty clear Core i7-8700K is an impressive CPU. With its high clock speeds and efficient micro-architecture, it punches out of its weight class...

The day has finally come, Intel has increased the core counts of their mainstream processors, and added two extra cores to their Core i3, i5, and i7 lineup. For roughly the same price as a 7th Generation i7-7700K, you will get 6-cores and 12-threads of pr...
The i7-8700K and i5-8400 are a step in the right direction. That direction is the move towards more cores, and what the industry needed was for both sides to release mainstream 6-core parts. While 6-core parts have existed for many generations, they have...
