Disgraceful withdrawal from the Intel Core i7-8086K
The first tests were completed, we finally got an accurate picture of the processor.
The newcomer, who made his debut recently, pays homage to the company’s first Intel 16-bit processor (Intel 8086, aka iAPX86), which was the first copy of the x86 architecture by the way. Because of its unique nature, the Intel Core i7-8086K hasn’t even become a bargain, exactly $ 75 more expensive than its Core i7-8700K, which is considered its immediate predecessor. This in itself would not be a problem if customers were to receive substantial extra performance at a significant premium, except that the German Computer Database according to his investigations, this is out of the question. After testing, the portal came to the conclusion that the novelty is only 1% ahead of its predecessor, which, to put it mildly, is not much. What could be the reason for this? You can see the answer in the table below.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | |
| Core i7-8086K | 5,0 GHz | 4,6 GHz | 4,5 GHz | 4,4 GHz | 4,4 GHz | 4,3 GHz |
| Core i7-8700K | 4,7 GHz | 4,6 GHz | 4,5 GHz | 4,4 GHz | 4,4 GHz | 4,3 GHz |
Not surprisingly, the Core i7-8086K is featured in terms of its ability to maintain a higher operating frequency than a Core i7-8700K with just one processing unit. So the thing seems, this processor can really only be of interest to fans, although they should also keep in mind that they are paying a significant amount for the product name alone.
