Computex: Intel Core i7-8086K Announced - 5.0 GHz turbo

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 8086, Intel is launching the Core i7-8086K (6 cores / 12 threads) with a 5.0 GHz turbo clock (4.0 GHz base).

No word on pricing just yet.

--BONUS--

Intel also announced an unnamed 28 core / 56 thread processor coming in Q4.

Cinebench R15 Multi 64-bit score of 7334 with all cores running at 5.0 GHz:

So, what super saiyan level is this?

base form when not overclocked

Did Nvidia start this new LE fad?

I wonder what premium they'll be charging for such a binned chip.

@knight-k: The highest

More paper launch chips?

*Pats i7 8700K*

Stay strong my i7 8700K stay strong :)

I'll take two. j/k

@davillain-: I just got the non-k since I wont be OC

@freedom01: To be honest, I didn't know you game on PC! Congrats to getting the non-k chip.

same here, 4.3ghz across 6 cores and 12 threads is fast enough.

No interest yet. My 7700K will be serving me just fine for a few iterations.

7700K is a really great cpu, you are totally fine for years to come.

For sure. I haven't even overclocked yet, and I doubt I will for a while.

I had an 8086. Kicking it OG yo

Sickest gaming laptop ever

28 cores...

It’s like they know I enjoy buying stupid shit I don’t need

28 cores @ 5Ghz?

WTF

Damn and I thought my Cinebench Score of 1880 was good

Outside of editing live 4k, this shit is pointless.

That's a monster but I still don't have any reason to upgrade my i7 6850k, it's running all 6 cores happily at 4.3Ghz with room for more and nothing is putting it under pressure.

600 TDP

Anandtech had a sneak peak of that unnamed 28 core processor:

This type of technology has barely evolved in the last 5 - 10 years.

That said, a 6 - core @ 5ghz would tempt any gamer!

Phase Change Cooling lol

Lamo, wouldn't doubt that it crashed soon after that benchmark then. Absolutely pointless.

still 28 cores at 5ghz for 300 euro's would have been nice. Once can only dream.

we've been there for a while

6 cores/12 threads is way more then enough I'll ever need since all I'm really doing is just heaving gaming on my PC.

Heck. I'm thinking of a mere i5-8400 as my CPU replacement. I think 6 cores/6 threads is adequate enough.

I'm assuming this thing will be ridiculously expensive and hopefully they soldered the heat spreaders on instead of using paste. Else, Threadripper 2 or even 1 would be better with thermals and more pocket friendly. Actually no one should touch these kind of chips unless you're a content creator, edit video, etc.

@jun_aka_pekto: 6 core 6 thread is good. pu must have a 4 core from some gens ago? its a good upgrade :)

You'll never get an small Intel CPU die soldered to the IHS any more, there's a technical reason for this and most people an't understand it.

Wouldn't go for a 6 core solution with 6 threads, thing has no legs.

Dat necro

i7 8086k can go to 5ghz stock speed and has 6 core. yet people are saying it has no legs or its bad? wow

they must be using threadripper

Meh, I probably don't have to upgrade for a while since I just got my 8700k build ready. It lacks a GPU, but the machine is not for gaming, for now anyways, maybe in the future.
