So, you guys hear about this? New i7 for the 40th anniversary of the 8086. Looks good, but not necessarily great, from the reviews I've read so far. Limited edition, 50,000 units only.

still waiting on intel to send me an email letting me know i've won one.

Old news.

It's just a binned 8700k. And 8086 of them Intel is giving away in a giveaway.

It's not worth the $50-$200 premium.

Same here.

[Prbtt]

Not worth, don't bother.

[tacoshy]

yeah not worth it. The 8086 garuntees to run at 5.0GHz with Turbo Boost (2 cores rest idle). Both 8Pack and Der8auer who delidd an bin hundrets of CPU for Caseking stated that all 8700K could OC to 5.0GHz at least (all 6 cores). So the 8086 is nothing special. just a normal 8700K with another name printed on it and sold more expensive as the name printed on it is limited.

[Arya]

Not impressed. A regular 8700K would match it easily. And for the extra cost of the 8086K, you could upgrade an 8700K with a copper IHS and liquid metal treatment. And that would blow an 8086K out of the water.

I was about to ask if the hardware security bugs had been removed but now are guessing no?

The "turbo boost" is 5GHz...on all cores...Which means the i7-8086K can easily OC to 5.5GHz without a sweat...or voltage changes. The i7-8700K's "Turbo Boost" is 4.4GHz...and requires voltage changes to OC to 5.4GHz.

Suffice to say it's the Devil's Canyon of Coffee Lake. It's more than just a "rebranding".

Incorrect.. The i7 8086k has a all core turbo boost of 4.3Ghz.

The 5Ghz boost is only for single (and maybe dual) core workloads.

Check Intel Ark..

And where people are getting "it's only under dualcore or single core" seems highly unreliable. Nobody provided any links proving it.

Max turbo boost. These is a reason they refer to it like this.

If you click on the ? Beside max turbo frequency this is what it will tell you...

Max Turbo Frequency

Max turbo frequency is the maximum single core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating using Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. Frequency is measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion cycles per second.

Have you read your link? Its clearly written there that you're wrong:

Processor Base Frequency: 4.00 GHz
Max Turbo Frequency: 5.00 GHz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4ryOzIZvpQ

where is your proof that Turbo Boost is on all cores?

[tacoshy]

Messaggio originale di The Spoopy Kitteh:

So 5.GHz is suddenly somehow worse than 4.3GHz in that regard?

yes it is. watch the link and you might udnerstand. The 4.00 GHz are on 6 cores. To reach 5.00 GHz on a single core the CPU has to put 4-5 cores into idle state to being able to transfer the TDP to the last remaing 6th Core to boost it to 5.00GHz. YOu CPU does that if it realizes that you depending on single core eprformance and giving you that eprformance for sacrafising currently unneeded multicore performance.

ANd thats also the amjor difference between overlocking to 5.00 GHz and Turbo Boost to 5.00GHz. Overclockign always works on all cores and not just 1 incl. the lost of the remaining cores.

Keep in mind too that I actually have my Core i7-6700K clocked/locked at 4.4GHz for both base and turbo. So if that's possible with Skylake or newer, one could easily lock both turbo boost and base clock frequencies of the i7-8086K to 5.2GHz or even 5.4GHz without a sweat.
