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.
