Finally a cpu upgrade on the consumer level. The new i3-s are basically last generation i5-s so a mayor value in them. The z370 chipset is a bit of a letdown but still a decent upgrade on the cpu part. Finally ordered a 8700k a replacement worthy for my i7 3770k. The 3770k ran for 5 years without any problems on 4.4-4.5ghz and continues so as a second pc. looking forward to run some good overclocks on that new chip if i get a good silicone. Who else is seeing this as a good upgrade? We can all thank amd for pushing intel to this. * +

The lack of pcie lanes will not affect me as i run 1 gpu and a m.2 ssd. Would be a problem with multiple gpu-s and add in cards tho for many ppl. It has x16 for pcie and up to 24 thru the chipset for the m.2 etc. * +

I was looking at going coffelake but the jump isnt that large over my 4790k for gaming so going to wait for icelake . You was very lucky to get the cpu as the biggest seller here in the uk only got 8 cpu's . It was a rushed release due to ryzen and intel did not make enough of them . * +

Intel really fu*ked up with the fast release of both platforms . The HEDT platform is a complete mess and threadripper is a thousand pounds cheaper and matches it and z370 is a dead platform from the go . Ryzen has really kicked them into touch and they will sh*t bricks if ryzen 2 matches their IPC ,yeah intel single thread is way ahead but that will change with the revisions in january * +

The core usage in games is still very little thats why i went for a 6 core. Rumors are intel will drop a 8 core in 9 months. I think 6 cores is good for many years to come seeing how slow games are taking on extra cores. The 8700k has a very high single core performance compared to others thankfully. Its funny the 7700k costs 350 euros here and my 8700k was 380euros so it was a easy choice. Only one store here has the 8700k in right now and has 2 more left after i sn*tched mine as they were still ordering them. * +
