hello guys

should i wait for coffee lake or buy kaby lake instead?

JUICEhunter · Aug 9, 2017

It'd be smart to wait at this point, who knows what pricing is going to be like.

JUICEhunter :

so i should wait until 21 of august ?
basically i dont think intel will drop the price down because of amd

JUICEhunter · Aug 9, 2017

If you're looking at high end yes. I hope the new i7 isn't more than $450. The i5 should be $250.

JUICEhunter :

but hexa core isnt for gaming right?

dimaszz :

Games have started to go for more than 4 cores now. The old i5 have trouble in some games so the new 6 core i5 will be a good option. And if it sucks you can just go ryzen or something else.

jaslion :

Do you know when the new cpu's will be available to buy them? im sure at 21 of august it will not be available to buy it but they will announce them.

Shouldn't be more than a week, I was able to get the 7700k within a week of launch.

is it fake or?

"Leaks" are popping up, the closer we get the more accurate they will be and the day is coming, but to answer no I haven't seen that just the typical charts talking about the 6 core setups, they seem like they are going be beast!

JUICEhunter :

Thanks again i will wait to see if it is worth to wait but 7700k will be more cheap than now and im thinking to buy 7700k i will see

I have zero complaints about mine paired with a 1070 on 1080p 144hz, it's really nice.

It's less than 2 weeks away from launch. I'd regret it if I didn't wait. The Core i7 8700K and Core i5 8600K are going to be a much needed step toward a more multicore design. Finally the Core i5 will be king again for gamers. You won't need more than a Core i5 8600K for gaming anymore.

Usually within a month of the anouncement

CPUs don't suffer from the same availability issues as GPUs at launch.
