We have gaming results at 1080p which will be showing more of the brute strength of the CPU for gaming, as lower resolutions are more CPU dependent.     The tests include most of the popular CPUs used today, with the Core i7-8700K a champion throughout the testing. The lower-end 8600K is a 6C/6T processor, but for gaming the six additional threads from Hyper Threading, like the Core i7-8700K has. This doesn't matter for gaming, and more so at 1080p and lower.     Even though a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was used, the 8600K is a surprise performer and should make a bigger impact with many more sales than the 8700K given its price/performance ratio.     That fact is highlighted by the fact that the Core i7-8600K still overclocks past 5GHz, only continuing to impress an...
