I think it’s been some time since we covered some decent benchmarks of Intel’s Coffee Lake CPUs, especially the flagship Core i7-8700K. Well, the wait is over and we have a fresh set of benchmarks straight from Chinese sources. The latest benchmarks show Intel’s 6 core chip blazing past AMD’s eight core and even Intel’s 6 core HEDT processors.

The Intel Core i7-8700K will be an interesting processor for consumers as it is the first mainstream chip from the blue giant to feature 6 cores. The new chips will be marketed under the Intel 8th gen branding and will be featured on a new platform known as the 300-series. The 300-series platform will mean that the chips will not be compatible with older 200-series platforms although the 300-series is known to feature the same socket aka LGA 1151 (v2). While we have seen some benchmarks for the flagship chip, nothing has been conclusive or worthy to be compared to other processors. This leak however is different as it compares the new Intel chip to it’s 7th generation predecessors and also AMD’s 8 core Ryzen processor.
