Intel has announced the discontinuation of its  8th Generation Coffee Lake Desktop CPU lineup including the flagship Core i7-8700K. A total of 31 desktop parts and 3 mobile CPUs featured in Intel's 8th Generation lineup will reach EOL status this year.

Launched back in 2017, the Intel 8th Gen Desktop CPU family was the first response from the blue team against the first generation AMD Ryzen CPUs codenamed Pinnacle Ridge. Intel launched its Core i7-8700K as the flagship CPU, offering 6 cores and 12 threads, the first major core bump in almost a decade. Currently, Intel offers its mainstream processors with up to 10 cores & 20 threads while AMD has gone with 16 cores and 32 threads on its Ryzen 3000 CPUs.
