You can see the price of the new Intel Coffee Lake processors, quite restrained and that aims to be a tough competitor to the AMD Ryzen processors, also in price.
One of the most unknown factors of the new 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake processors is the price, which points to be somewhat higher than the current Kaby Lake, this would be due to the number of extra cores. The problem is that Intel cannot allow itself to launch excessively expensive processors either, because it has the competition of the AMD Ryzen, which would mark the price limits. Well, the German retailer LambdaTek has published the prices of the new processors, which are a good reference.
The most powerful processor of this new generation, the i7 8700K would be priced at € 389 and the i7 8700 is priced at € 327. If we compare them to Kaby Lake, the [amazon_textlink asin = 'B01LTI1JEM' text = 'i7 7700K' template = 'ProductLink' store = 'hardwa028-21 ′ marketplace =' ES 'link_id =' fdb99a3e-96d1-11e7-931f- e39a8c0d15d4 ′] is priced at € 349 and the i7 7700 is priced at € 313. We move on to the Core i5 8600K, which is priced at € 273 and the i5 8400 is priced at € 192, while the Kaby Lake versions, such as the i7 7600K, is priced at 236e and the Core i5 7400 is priced at € 182. The price difference is around € 50-60, but there is also a difference in cores.
The Coffee Lake also have a Core i3 with OC capacity, such as the i3 8350K, which is priced at € 188, very similar in price to the Core i5 8400 and is slightly higher than the Core i3 7350K, which costs € 164, a difference of € 24 between the two. The cheapest processor will be the Core i3 8100, which will cost € 123, just € 4 more than the Core i3 7100. There is no data on an alternative to the Pentium G4560, the best valued and best-selling of the Kaby Lake, but we will be attentive to know if it finally reaches the market.
The final prices are the German VAT, you must catch the price are VAT or VAT and multiply it by 21%, that is to say that the i3-8750k would be over € 192 and not € 188, although the difference is not very big
We will have to see its final performance, since for example, here in Mexico surely the i7 will arrive at about $ 8,000 (Mexican pesos) plus the cost of the motherboard exceeds $ 11,000 while currently the Ryzen 7 1700 you can get it for $ 5,900 plus one decent motherboard we would have a budget of $ 9,500. With a lower budget you can have a Ryzen 7 that has nothing to envy to the i7, which will age very well thanks to its 8 cores. From my point of view it is clear.
Well yes, but with the dollar constantly rising, I don't think it will reach $8000, but rather $10000, like when the 6700k came out and was given at that price. As for the Ryzen 7 and 5, I don't think they will reach that much with their 2nm Zen7 in sight.
€ 400 8700k, good board € 200, memory (which is through the roof) € 200, the graphics are even worse and the SSDs are also expensive XDDD. In short, whoever bought an R7 1700 in March triumphed like Coca-Cola, today you can't buy either one or the other. The low supply of memory and mining are screwing us well.
