Ready to push the button on 8700k...
I have spent hours reading over 370Z/390Z, CoffeeLake/CFL Refresh, Cannon Lake, Ice Lake rumors and articles. I have come to some conclusion that there will be nothing released very soon that is of any significant advantage over the 8700K.
There may be a Coffee Lake 8 core but I cannot see how this could be a better gamer than the 8700K. The 8700K already beats Skylake-X 8 core's in every gaming benchmark. I can appreciate an 8 core on newer architecture may have some advantage though. How Intel will release an 8 core mainstream chip in a mainstream price bracket is another matter.
Furthermore some people predict it will not be until 10nm++ that we see a significant increase in high end desktop chips. Can any 8700k users or any other users for that matter share their experience/opinions to help me make a final informed decision despite all of the rumors? :)
