In August, Intel announced its 8th Gen Intel Core Processor Family with 40% improvement & better 4K Display. Now the company has pushed it even further by improving its gaming performance which is 45 percent faster compared to its 7th-gen counterpart.
Setting Core i7-8700K as an example, the processor will offer extra 25 percent in frames per second running Microsoft’s Gears of War 4. The Core i7-8700K includes 6 core with 12 thread compared to 7th generation Core i7-7700K which offers 4 core with 8 thread. Not only gaming, but there will be an improvement for anything which includes graphics i.e. Streaming, Gaming, and so on.
