Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Best I7 for gaming... 8700k or 8086k?

Solution
i would choose 8700k,
8086 and 8700k is the same chip, and stock performance is identical except for 1 core turbo boost.
overclocking results should be similar you might be able to squeeze 100~200 mhz more out of it) , but it's more related to the silicon lottery.

8086k is just a better binned 8700k with higher clocks. It has .3ghz bump over 8700k for an additional $50 approx.
If the costs justifies you, then there is no better gaming chip out there.

Any game utilizing >1 core should perform the same out of the box - they're the same chip, ultimately.
Not worth the 10-20% price increase. If prices were equal, I'd opt for the 8086K but otherwise, pass.
For strictly gaming? Or gaming+streaming, or other workloads? Perhaps an i5-8400 or i5-8600K would be sufficient?

That's only for single core turbo, which rarely occurs in the wild. All other turbo levels are identical to the 8700K. Basically, you're paying $50 to get an extra 0.1 GHz of OC headroom (on average). And even that still has an element of luck, and may not even come into play unless you're doing hardcore overclocking (i.e. delidding).

My point was that it will still give you a few FPS extra in some games due to the higher clocks. But the cost doesnt justify those few FPS, and you wont even notice it probably.

Out of the box, unless you're only running single-core applications, it won't. Multi-core boost (stock, before OCing) is identical to an 8700K
It should be easier to enable 5GHz all cores though.... in which case yes, you'd probably see a couple of FPS gains.

Really depends on what you want to do.
100% of 8086K's will do 5 GHz on all cores at reasonable voltage... All you have to do is enable MCE (Multi Core Enhancement). MOST 8086K's will do more than 5 GHz easy, not so much with 8700K's however. It's a gamble with the silicon lottery.
With my 8086K I am running 5.0 GHz MCE, but all I have to do is type in 51 (Tested it) and it will run stable at 5.1 GHz and likely more (Haven't played with it yet to see how far it will go).
My 8700K however....
Won't do more than 4.7 MCE at reasonable voltage.... Needs almost 1.4V to run at 4.8 GHz.
