Product identity

The Intel Core i7-8700 is a 6-core desktop processor with 12 threads and a base frequency of 3.2 GHz. It reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz and includes Intel UHD Graphics 630 running at 350 MHz. The chip fits the LGA 1151 socket and works only with 300-series motherboards.

Upgrade context

This CPU replaces earlier 4-core LGA 1151 parts and adds two more cores plus hyper-threading for heavier multi-threaded workloads. The jump is worthwhile when moving from a quad-core chip to handle modern multitasking, content creation or VR titles that benefit from 12 threads. The 65 W thermal design keeps cooling requirements modest.

Installation notes

The processor ships without a cooler, so a compatible LGA 1151 heatsink must be sourced separately. Apply fresh thermal paste and ensure the motherboard BIOS supports 8th-generation Coffee Lake CPUs before installation. The OEM tray package includes no accessories or retail box, and the unit may show minor cosmetic marks from handling.
