Architecture: Based on a 14nm architecture, the i7-8700 is built using a process that allows for efficient performance and energy consumption.
Cores/Threads: 6 cores and 12 threads, which provides solid multi-threading capabilities for demanding tasks like video editing and 3D rendering.
Base Clock: The processor has a base clock speed of 3.2 GHz.
Boost Clock: It can turbo boost up to 4.6 GHz, allowing it to automatically increase its speed under heavy workloads for improved performance.
Cache: The processor comes with a 12MB L3 cache, which helps in speeding up access to frequently used data.
TDP (Thermal Design Power): The TDP is 65W, indicating that it is relatively power-efficient, especially considering its performance.
Socket: This processor uses the LGA 1151 socket, which is compatible with motherboards that support Intel's 300-series chipset.
RAM Support: It supports DDR4 RAM with a maximum speed of 2666 MHz (though higher speeds may be supported through overclocking).
Multitasking: The multi-core architecture is ideal for multitasking, allowing for smooth operation when running multiple applications or dealing with complex workloads.
Content Creation: Video editors, graphic designers, and other content creators can benefit from the multi-threaded performance, making tasks like rendering or encoding much faster compared to lower-tier processors.
