Intel 7th gen or 8th gen

goromsuman · Nov 16, 2017

I want to buy an i5 7500, but intel has launched its 8th gen processors already. But the problem is, there are no cheap motherboards out there in the market. Should I just buy the 7500 or should I wait for cheap motherboards to hit the market?

I'd wait as the 8400 is better then the 7500 and if you can save up more then maybe you can get something like the 8700 paired with a B370/H370 motherboard or at least maybe some more RAM or a SSD.

concur with Wildcard. Wait for the cheaper boards.
The z prices are high, and RAM prices are insane.

fredfinks :

any idea on how long I would have to wait before the prices drop?

Id say Feb or march for the cheaper boards. RAM who knows.
