Having already launched 8th generation Core processors in mobile form (Kaby Lake Refresh), Intel on Sunday formally introduced its 8th generation desktop  lineup (Coffee Lake), among which are the first six-core processors for mainstream consumers.

Sitting at the top of the stack is the Core i7-8700K, a 6-core/12-thread chip that Intel deems its "best gaming desktop processor ever." Unlike the nearly $2,000 Core i9-7980XE Skylake-X chip that favors more cores and cache over clockspeed, the Core i7-8700K is a far more sensible option for gamers, and one that can hit up to 4.7GHz in single-core turbo mode, and 4.6GHz when engaging all six cores. It has a base clockspeed of 3.7GHz, and 12MB of L3 cache.
