Intel Core i7-8700 3.2GHz CPU Processor 6 Cores for Socket 1151 Tray

The Intel Core i7 8700 processor is based on the Coffee Lake (8th Gen) microarchitecture (2017). It has 6 cores with 12 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster.

Description

The Intel Core i7 8700 processor is based on the Coffee Lake (8th Gen) microarchitecture (2017). It has 6 cores with 12 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 4.6 Ghz.

The Cache memory it incorporates is 12 MB. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time the processor requires to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly increasing performance.

It has the 1151 Socket and will need to be hosted on a motherboard with a corresponding Socket. Finally, a cooler is not included. You will need to purchase a separate cooler for the processor, which is necessary.

The Core i7 8700 is usually chosen for demanding applications such as CAD, image editing, video, and audio processing. It is ideal for gaming, multitasking, and 3D editing. It also has integrated graphics that can be used for light gaming if your system does not have a more powerful dedicated graphics card.

Family
Core i7

Family

Core i7
High-performance and high-speed Intel processor family for increased productivity and demanding applications (e.g. video editing) and gaming.
Microarchitecture
Coffee Lake (8th Gen)

Microarchitecture

The code name of the generation and internal organization of the processor. A common indicative element is the nanometers (nm) of the microarchitecture; the smaller, the better. The latest and most recent generation of Intel, named Arrow Lake, includes the “Core Ultra” models without the "i" prefix. The latest and most recent generation of AMD is Zen 5.

Coffee Lake (8th Gen)
Intel processor architecture based on 14nm technology that started in 2017.
Socket
1151

Socket

The processor socket type.

The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

Type
High Performance

Performance

Cores
6

Cores

The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.
Threads
12

Threads

Threads are virtual versions of processor cores. They allow the processor to serve multiple tasks in parallel.
Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)
3.2 GHz

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.
Max Processor Frequency
4.6 GHz

Max Processor Frequency

The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)
Cache memory
12 MB

Cache memory

Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.
Unlocked
No

Unlocked

Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).
Thermal Design Power (TDP)
65 W

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

The TDP shows how much heat the processor generates during typical use.

The cooler used should be capable of handling this amount of heat.

Features & Functions

Embedded Graphics
Intel UHD Graphics 630

Embedded Graphics

Processors with integrated graphics processing unit. A motherboard that supports this function is required.

With such a combination, the need to purchase a graphics card can be eliminated. It is recommended only for simple use.
Includes Heatsink
No

Includes Heatsink


The processor requires cooling in order to operate. If the processor does not come with a heatsink, you will need to purchase a suitable CPU heatsink or a separate water cooling system.
