I am with you bro I got the same processor its still rocking. I just needed to upgrade my graphic card because my old one die now I am using RX 480

-U and -Y are the low-power
-U and -Y are the low-power models for laptops/NUCs/etc. You rarely if ever see socketed versions (and if they do exist in theory, getting your hands on one at retail is another matter). -S has been replaced by -T, which are the not-quite-as-low-power-but-you-can-have-them-socketed CPUs, but are similarly hard to acquire in practice.

Yes but for how long before
Yes but for how long before things become throttled and clocks are forced lower?

Don’t know if there will be
Don’t know if there will be thermal limits on longer runs, but Intel says all core Turbo is 4.3GHz.

Also, their budget CPU cooler might be fine for a i3 or Celeron buyer but give the people buying i5’s and i7’s some love, and include a modern heat sink for high CPUs with some decent headroom.

I was definitely leaning towards an Ryzen 1700 (and overclocking it) for my next build because something about the “MOAR CORES!” speaks to me, but I’m not so sure now.

Considering that the only demanding thing I do on my PC is game, the 8700k will probably be faster.

Hopefully, as more cores become the norm, developers will start optimizing in that direction.

Why would they panick, seems
Why would they panick, seems like they are doing fine in this market.

You think were are finally
You think were are finally back to having just the locked and unlocked (K) models only again, or are we gonna keep seeing the U, S, and Y jazz still?

While the chips are still manufactured on the 14nm process that Kaby Lake, Skylake, and Broadwell were produced on, there’s more on them.

That’s not true?

Broadwell & Skylake = 14nm.

Skylake-SP/X & Kaby = 14nm+.

Coffee = 14nm++.

My GPU is an R9 290X, so it picks up the slack of my aging CPU.

Fixed, thanks!
