Pros: Speed binned I7-8700K. I'm running all cores OC'd at 5GHz with a modest voltage down with a Corsair Hydro H100i V2. I was planning to delid the CPU, but even before swapping the stock thermal compound of the Corsair cooler I'm running all cores under 78°C. With these results I thought to replace the stock thermal and call it a day, but I'll likely delid the CPU, just to get a couple more years out of it. Loving my results with this chip so far.
Cons: This rebranded chip is $75 to $100 more for a guaranteed 'lottery win' I7-8700K. Essentially, this chip will run a more stable OC than most I7-8700K. That said, there are plenty of reviews online that suggest that there were many non-speed binned I7-8700K's capable of the same thing. If you plan to OC you could always play the I7-8700K lottery, but for $75 more it was worth knowing the chip was OC ready, to me. HOWEVER, If you don't plan to OC this chip, then save yourself the extra cost. Only one core ships with boosted clocks and those clocks are minimal increases.
Overall Review: It's nice knowing you will get one of the better chips in the batch. I like the idea of having the option to pay a little more for a better binned part, and it would be interesting to see this trend become mainstream (with the obnoxious rebranding). What I don't love is that this chip was advertised as if its architecture was different - not the truth, which was that it was a speed binned I7-8700K. I don't really understand this, because as I said I would have been happy to have the opportunity to purchase a higher binned part either way as, I believe, many others would have been as well. For me, I did my research first so I knew this was an I7-8700K with a modestly increased bin. I even knew that buying an I7-8700K was likely to give me the same results, but I wanted to make sure that my chip would give me the OC I was after. Still I think if I hadn't had this information up front I likely would have been upset. Bottom line, always do your research and know what you're buying. 'Hype' and 'Newest' are never good reasons to purchase a product.
