As I said, its too old and generalized, it was a join mod decision. If you think something is missing, please create a new thread. SPECIALIZED PLEASE@Markfw Why lock the other thread?! There should be a thread for Skylake-X discussions. Just remove "Coffee Lake" from that thread's title and you can open it.
I understand the need for specialized threads, but since you chose to create this one are you going to update the OP with new info? The idea was already being touted and I believe someone even offered to create and maintain it iirc.And the coffeelake builders thread is a good start to specialized threads in this area, not even my idea, but a good one.
So...does anyone know if major review sites have got their cpu's and mobos yet?
If updates to the thread are not enough, and have to be in the first post. I will approve you PMing me to update the op.I understand the need for specialized threads, but since you chose to create this one are you going to update the OP with new info? The idea was already being touted and I believe someone even offered to create and maintain it iirc.
So you;re fine with the OCed performance numbers but not the power or thermals at those clocks? As it stands the 8700k & 8600k are perfect at their stock clocks, OCing is mainly for enthusiasts anyway, most people do not OC their pc.You should mention that the 8600k results are nonense and that they tested with OC, likely with 4500 Mhz @6C. This also explains the higher power usage.
With a couple of review leaks and some sites saying they will have full reviews on Oct 5, I am betting they have their gear.

Strong performance but concerning thermals. Although of course we don't know the cooler used.
Anything above stock is overclocked. Pretty simple, imo.as I said on VC's comments , I7-8700K:
3.7 GHz Base
4.3 GHz 6-core Turbo
4.4 GHz 4-core Turbo
4.6 GHz 2-core Turbo
4.7 GHz 1-core Turbo
Idk what's exactly the meaning of stock? Turbo means increasing clock ,on other hand, "OC".
What's OC ? by Users or Processor ? some even believes OC means User because You're increasing clock.so those guys think If OC is done by Processor,It's not OC, rather It's turbo.What if you see crazy result? do you believe OC or Stock?
~30-40 watts more than a 7700K under heavy/medium load is amazing if true, imo.It has 50% more cores than a 7700k. Why would anyone think it would not run hotter and not use more power? The red power usage bar is obviously in an overclocked state but we don't know how high the OC was.
The red bar is the total system consumption while gaming. The green bar is the cpu at full load in a benchmark. The yellow is idle. All are platform numbers.It has 50% more cores than a 7700k. Why would anyone think it would not run hotter and not use more power? The red power usage bar is obviously in an overclocked state but we don't know how high the OC was.
Asrock Z370 Taichi and Extreme4 on the web, pdf manuals ready.

Taichi is hot candidate for me.
