First off my apologies for this review, as it is going to be short and sweet, but will hopefully still have all the data you need in order to see what Intel's new Coffee Lake is all about.

Coffee Lake is Intel's "8th Generation" processor family. The i3, i5, and i7 will be its desktop CPUs. While we usually review the top-end i7 version, today we are going sans HyperThreading with the Core i5-8600K model. This is a 14nm lithography CPU. The 8600K has 6 cores and runs a total of 6 threads. The 8700K with HyperThreading will of course run 12 threads and have 12MB of cache compared to the 8600K's lesser 9MB.

TDP on our 8600K comes in at 95 watts, so it should be fairly easy to keep cool. You can see our 8600K overclocked to 5GHz in the below screenshot.
