The Intel Core i5-8400 is going to be a popular processor due to the price point and the fact it has six physical cores running at 2.8GHz base and up to 4.0GHz with Turbo Boost. The Intel Core i5-8400 is $182 and the unlocked Core i5-8600K is priced at $257. That means you will only get 6-core, 6-thread performance on these processors, but they are affordable. Moving up to the Intel Core i5 series you’ll find these to be 6-core processors that Intel has enabled Turbo Boost 2.0 technology on, but they still lack Intel Hyper-Threading technology. Prices start at $117 for the Core i3-8100 and goes up to $168 for the Core i3-8350K unlocked processor. The Intel Core i3 series now consists of true quad-core parts that without Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost technology. Intel has kept things simple by releasing only six parts and we like that there is a locked and unlocked ‘K’ sku option for each series.



The six new processors that came out today are the Intel Core i7-8700K, Core i7-8700, Core i5-8600K, Core i5-8400, Core i3-8350K and Core i3-8100. This is great news as AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors have done pretty well in the market due to how many cores they have and Intel needed to bring more cores to market. Today we are able to show you the benchmark results for the Intel Core i7-8700K and Core i5-8400 6-core Coffee Lake processors! Many enthusiasts have become accustomed to the incremental 5-10 percent speed bump that comes with each new processor generation, but this time its different as Intel increased the core count on the 8th Gen processor series.
