WEBVTT

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:28.279
so

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.399
get it

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:00.480
a coffee lake yep oh like the CPU we're

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.280
reviewing yup oh yeah well you know what thanks

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:10.000
for that and while we're at it thanks to tunnelbear tunnelbear makes it easy to

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:13.280
privately and securely browse a more open internet try telebear for free go

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:20.659
to tunnelbear.com LTT

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.600
the core i7 8700k and core i5 8400 cpus

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:34.400
that we're reviewing today are members of Intel's eighth generation core series

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.640
code name coffee lake

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:43.759
they're built on the improved 14 nanometer plus plus

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:47.520
process and they fit in the same socket

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.680
as 6th and 7th gen processors but

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:54.560
for those of you rejoicing in the streets that Intel is supporting the

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.360
same socket for three generations of desktop chips for the first time in a

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:05.600
decade think again neither 8th gen chips nor the 300 series

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:09.840
motherboards that go with them are backwards compatible trust us

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.280
we tried Intel has an excuse though at least for

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.640
the new cpus to not work in the old boards because the new z370 chipset even

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:27.120
though rumors indicate that it's fundamentally a retooled z270 supports

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:30.319
higher speed ddr4 2666 out of the box

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.959
and offers improved power delivery both

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:37.280
things that required some tweaks even to hardware

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:39.360
and so i don't know like maybe this is

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.080
worth making a video about like coaching people on how to watch for this stuff

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.280
because anyone who was expecting a 200 series

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.959
board to get a CPU upgrade hasn't been following Intel's pattern over the last

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.599
10 years now AMD's announced long-term support of

00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:59.920
am4 might bring about a change in this

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:06.000
behavior from Intel but that remains to be seen AMD's history is to sure support

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.800
a socket for a long time but with cpus that nobody really wants to

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:17.200
upgrade to with all of that said i totally get why

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:22.080
the people who invested in fancy z270 boards are mad right now

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:28.480
architecturally coffee lake is more or less just kb lake which itself was more

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.040
or less just sky lake no avx 512 no

00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.360
rebalanced smart cash i mean damn we're not even getting a new hd

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.680
graphics chip not that i cared about that although hooray for hdcp 2.2 i

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.440
guess so that doesn't sound very compelling but

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:52.879
what is is that we are finally getting a six core Intel chip on the mainstream

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.799
platform and at mainstream prices

00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.080
but there's more it's not just a six core chip which is

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:07.120
kind of what i would have expected them to do the entire core i7 and core i5

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:12.159
lineup are getting the hex treatment complete with additional cash and this

00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:15.840
is all at roughly the same TDP as the previous generation

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.600
so if you're upset about that

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:26.400
then i'm glad because this is a good thing

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:29.520
we all used to get upset about every new

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:31.360
hardware generation but it's okay salt

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:34.960
can taste good you know it's like

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.320
oh like this is what it feels like when oh

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.320
that's awful ah oh

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:53.680
why is this even in here okay i'm sorry

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:59.759
so this this is what it feels like when

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:01.919
technology is actually advancing just

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.160
oh now there are new core i3s too but those

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:10.400
are kind of boring and we didn't get samples so let's get to performance of

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.560
the chips that we have we are going to be doing a lot of

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:20.320
testing this time around because this is potentially a huge single generation

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:24.880
leap in performance so we cracked open our previous generation

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:30.080
Intel rig our current gen ryzen and threw in core i9 and Threadripper for

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:33.360
good measure so get your yee haws ready

00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:35.280
because it's gun be one heck of a

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:42.080
shootout and the core i7 8700k comes out guns

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:46.160
blazing in our 1080p gaming tests it predictably trades blows at the top of

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:51.360
the heap with its predecessor depending on per game multi-threaded optimization

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:55.199
curiously it seems to fare slightly worse overall

00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:01.320
but it's nothing to cry about more interesting is the core i5 8400

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:09.840
riding into town with 7700k like performance at an i5 price

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.800
as for our 4k gaming tests well

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.960
these are some super boring if beautiful and high resolution graphs

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:22.080
there is a reason that Anthony coined the term the great equalizer for 4k in

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.479
the core i9 extreme edition video everything performs the same when the

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:32.720
GPU is the bottleneck synthetic gaming benchmarks tell a similar story

00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:35.280
moving on to productivity oh boy

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.400
the core i7 8700k kills it here easily surpassing ryzen in

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:45.840
multi-threaded tests and even approaching the core i9 lineup thanks to

00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.720
its higher core clocks and it even

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:53.759
decisively snatches the single threaded crown from its predecessor thanks to its

00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:58.400
higher turbo and extra cash as for the core i5 8400 its lack of

00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:04.160
hyper threading does hurt it here compared to its competitor the ryzen 5

00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:06.560
1600. and since rise and chips are

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.240
unlocked that gap could widen with overclocking

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:14.960
thermals are not that great for the 8700k

00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:19.120
although this seems to be at least partially a firmware bug since when

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.160
overclocked we actually got lower readings

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.080
and power consumption is higher than the last gen but

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:31.520
nothing like the hedt and workstation chips that we've been reviewing recently

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:35.520
let's talk overclocking it's pretty simple and there's plenty of

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:39.680
fine control including per core over clocks

00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:42.639
at five gigahertz yes my friends five

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:48.240
gigahertz six cores we managed a pretty decent improvement in performance on our

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.280
8700k giving it similar headroom to our

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.919
7700k across the board

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:58.720
though as always your mileage may vary bringing us to value and it's here that

00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:04.240
coffee lake shines when system cost is accounted for

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:07.520
compared to kb lake the core i7 8700k is

00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:09.919
on par for gaming so it's good but

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:16.160
at over a hundred dollars less than that the core i5 8400 is the one that's going

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.879
to be really disruptive be it for gamers

00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:25.120
or entry-level content creators in productivity the two actually switch

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:27.520
places the 8700k takes the crown here

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:30.879
while the 8400 sits in the back seat next to ryzen

00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:36.080
overall though both of the new Intel chips sit pretty

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.440
at the top of the pile so

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.120
was coffee lake a last minute response to ryzen

00:08:40.719 --> 00:08:47.760
in some respects uh pricing not to mention the decision to move the i5 line

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:51.839
up to six core it might be

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:56.480
we don't know how good Intel's you know corporate espionage is you know maybe

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:59.360
they knew ryzen was going to be good a year and a half two years ago when

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:04.240
they would have had to start working on this or maybe they didn't

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:09.279
whatever was the case this release is a major performance win for the consumer

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:13.120
and you know what else is a win for the consumer joining dollar shave club

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:17.839
