G.Skill are thrilled to announce new Trident Z and Trident Z RGB specifications for latest 8th Gen Intel Core processors built on the Coffee Lake microarchitecture and Z370 chipset motherboards, manufactured with ultra-high performance Samsung B-die DDR4 ICs. G.SKILL Releases New DDR4 Specifications for Intel Coffee Lake Platform One of the bigger etailer for example decided to test and bin the procs they had, and have pre-binned 5Ghz versions for £500, 5.1Ghz for £600 or 5.2Ghz for £800 in-stock. In the UK some shops are hugely milking the procs they can actually sell. In the USA the 8700k is also out of stock, I did notice the 8600k on Newegg though. Meanwhile checking some price engines, the stock availability in Europe has run dry. Intel supplied a dozen or two of the high-end specced processors to distributors, and that's it. We did some rounds here in the Netherlands and availability is dramatic. The Z370 motherboards are available alright, the processors however now. Intel yesterday released their Coffee Lake generation processors.

But considering that is just one thread, it really runs 4.3 GHz on all six cores. So a Core i7 8700 is now being listed as a 4.7 GHz processor ( click the link and look at the ARK info). All Turbo frequencies are opportunistic given their dependency on system configuration and workloads.” We’re aligning communications to be consistent. Intel only specifies processor frequencies for base and single-core Turbo in our processor marketing and technical collateral, such as ARK, and not the multi-core Turbo frequencies. “e’re no longer disclosing this level of detail as its proprietary to Intel. Turbo listed on their packaging a bit better for marketing and thus sales? I mean, it’s not unthinkable right? The guys from eteknix have a quote from Intel on this: what would be the most probable? Might it be that Intel likes that highest It might be a legal reason as they cannot guarantee the all core turbo on all processors.However, the longer I think about this, then an old routine kicks in. As to why this is, remains uncertain, however many scenarios pop into mind. Intel from now on will only list the base and (1) and Single thread (3) turbo.

Here’s the thing, the recent generation processors basically have three main frequencies. You might already have noticed it, Intel is only listing the highest Boost frequency, and not the rest. In yet another unexpected move Intel has made is clear that it will not be sharing any details anymore on the multi-core Turbo clock frequencies of their processors.
