Key Features
  • 6 Cores & 12 Threads
  • 3.7 GHz Clock Speed
  • 4.7 GHz Maximum Turbo Frequency
  • Intel UHD Graphics 630
The Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core LGA 1151 Processor provides six cores with each one operating between 3.7 and 4.7 GHz for editing digital content, streaming live gameplay, and running other types of intensive tasks. If you need more performance, you can overclock the cores to function above its maximum frequency. This 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8700K processor is built on Coffee Lake architecture and armed with 12MB of cache memory. The processor is compatible with motherboards that sport an LGA 1151 socket and an Intel Z370 chipset, so the CPU can provide up to sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes for NVMe storage drives, graphics cards, and other high-performance parts. Moreover, it comes with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which lets each core handle two instruction threads for running multi-threaded applications.

Moreover, it comes with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, which lets each core handle two instruction threads for running multi-threaded applications.

Intel has equipped the Intel Core i7-8700K processor with an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 chipset that outputs up to 4K visuals through your motherboard's DisplayPort and HDMI ports. When connected to a DisplayPort-enabled monitor, the Intel UHD Graphics 630 can produce 4096 x 2304 resolution at 60 Hz. Running under a 4K resolution lets you enjoy ultra high-definition videos as well as view more information onscreen when compared to working in a lower resolution workspace.

Aside from graphics, the Intel Core i7-8700K processor has an average power requirement of 95W and supports DDR4 2666 MHz memory modules, running in a dual- or single-channel configuration. For enterprise and any other data-sensitive environments, it supports Intel vPro, Intel Trusted Execution, and other Intel-based technologies.

I have an HP G4 800 motherboard. The HP specs indicate a 65w i7 8700. Will this work?
Asked by: George
Yes, the i7 8700k will be compatible with any board that the non-k variant will work with. However, upgrading to the k variant may not be very helpful, because the main advantage of getting the 8700k over the 8700, is better overclocking. So if you have a locked HP motherboard with an 8700, then getting an 8700k would make little or no difference. Your motherboard will be compatible with better CPUs as long as you get a BIOS update. A more reasonable solution would be to update you motherboards BIOS, and buy an i5 9400F, i7-9700F, or an i9-9900. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1550829- REG/intel_bx80684i79700f_core_i7_9700f_3_ghz.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1459562-REG/intel_bx80684i59400f_core_i5_9400f_6_core_2_90ghz.html

question

Why do you list it as an I7 8700k when it is an I8 8700k ?
Asked by: Steven H.
You are wrong. It is clearly correct, and it's an i7 8700k, Intel Core i8 was never released, and it never will be. Coincidentally, my friend also made this same mistake He also thought that it was an i8.. LoL.
