https://www.facebook.com/TotalWar/videos/1550661891675672/

FOUND HIM!
https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/196850/skulls-for-the-skull-throne-krell/p1

The game just updated over steam. 191MB. Krell is in the game and can only be summouned during battles. Expect a skill tree for campaign uses alongside the Norsca DLC launch later this year, amongst other things

Intel Coffee Lake 6-core CPU-Z screenshot

Intel Coffee Lake 6-core CPU-Z screenshot

The data reveals LGA1151 socket support and TDP of 80W. The engineering sample has a base clock of 3.5GHz with a maximum multiplier of 43. It may all just be a wrong reading by CPU-Z utility or early engineering sample which may not necessarily represent the final product. Howeverit’s yet another proof that Intel’s 8th generation series will feature 6-core processor.

Earlier rumors from CPC Hardware suggested that Core i7-8700K would feature 3.7GHz base frequency, while i5-8600 a clock of 3.6 GHz. This sample is likely a different SKU.

The original source was already taken down.

My guess is that this is the 8700 (non-K) (which would make sense with the 80W TDP, unless CPU-Z read it wrong, which is also a possibility). I call a 4.6GHz boost on the 8700K (although I expect a 4.5GHz boost actually, but I think -Sweepr_ said it clocked higher(?) so I can see a +100MHz token).

If it really is socket 1151 then current 1151 boards will probably only need a bios update which would make a nice change from the usual changing of sockets for Intel customers.

T'will sell like hot cakes ��

Nope, probably CPU-Z reading it wrong/data thingy in the CPU needing updating; all indications still point to 1151 v2. :mellow:

I want to be wrong so bad though!!

I SOOOO much hope Ryzen have done something to the price. This thing at Ryzen 1700 price = Love

I wouldn't get this specific thing, though - wait until you see the K part

You're grabbing one then?

If i get one it will be the K-part. And it depends. My watercooling is going WAY over budget But if its Q1 2018 then i might.

Budgets are meant to be stretched But yeah, I hear you. You could always wait until Q1? I'll likely snatch on up on release day (if they don't pull a 6700K price hike from day 1 for 9 months here).

I have lost track, but i'm more than 50% over budget Or it depends on from witch point i count. I think my first look was around 550€ And i'm closer to 1000€

The 7800X is 390€. If they can make it at 350 or below, it think they have a winner.
But it will more likely be 390€ as the bigbrother.

Ouch that is fairly over budget! No regrets?

Well personally I don't think they'll price it above the 7800X. I think a bit below it but at this point in time I can only guess and that's irrelevant.

I'm the type that will regret not doing it right form the beginning

I don't think it will go above 7800X, but close to it. But then again, 350€ or 390€, not that big a deal. Hopefully the MB will be cheaper, and ITX

Coffee Lake Core i7-8700K Flagship 6 Core Specifications Leaked – 4.3 GHz Single Core Boost, 4.0 GHz Six Core Boost, 95W TDP

http://wccftech.com/intel-coffee-lake-core-i7-8700k-6-core-cpu-specifications-details-leak/

CAUTION: the article contains a few mistakes. For example; the Z390 board won't launch until next year, it's Z370 that launches alongside the first CFL batches this year.

Update: like I said, WCCFTech is incorrect once again.

While the document looks legit (I know where WCCFTech got it from) it most likely refers to earlier engineer samples. The info I have is from qualification samples (closer to retail) and clocks are higher than that.

Qualification samples are generally the "final" parts being tested for qualification for sale. So if you have QS info, those are the final clocks.

Mark, please don't make an article out of the WCCFTech rubbish, would be bad to have erroneous info online.

Too late, somebody already posted that two days ago. Besides, the article is incorrect. Guru3D, as of late, copies everything without a single thought, regrettably.

Intel Core i9-7920X 12 Core CPU Full Specifications Detailed – 2.9 GHz Base Clock, 4.0 GHz Boost Clocks

https://www.purepc.pl/procesory/intel_core_i97920x_12rdzeniowy_przedstawiciel_serii_x

Not sure where you got the 4GHz boost clock from, though the screenshot does suggest a Turbo boost 3.0 (on two cores) of 4.4GHz.

Will look further into this info, as they do not reference the screenshot etc.
