Description

Pros

Strong Performance in gaming and applications

Unlocked multiplier

Multi-threaded with 6 cores

Cons

Heatsink needs to be purchased separately

The Intel Core i5 8600K is a high configuration processor with six cores based on Intel Coffee Lake architecture. It works with great effect in multi-threaded workloads, offering a substantial boost over its predecessors. Its aggressive Turbo Boost bins ensure great performance in lightly-threaded workloads.

An easy overclocking experience along-with excellent gaming performance is a great boost over previous-generation Intel Core i7 models, making the Intel Core i5 8600k a great buy for techies !!!

The Core i5 8600K has a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz for single threaded workloads, with a thermal design power (TDP) of 95W. It can execute up-to 6 threads simultaneously without hyper threading .
The CPU is manufactured in an improved 14 nm++ process which is easy to overclock due to its unlocked multiplier.

Intel Core i5 8600k Features Review

  • Performance

Intel has added extra 2 cores to its Core i5 8600K which is an addition as compared to to previous-generation Intel Core i5 models with 4 cores. In addition, clock rates are also significantly higher compared to the older versions.

The Core i5 8600K accommodates six cores and threads into its 14nm ++ chip while upgrading base/boost speeds of 3.6GHz and 4.3GHz, respectively.

  • Graphics

In terms of graphics features, the processor graphics is same as its predecessors (Intel UHD Graphics 630) but there is a great increase in graphics dynamic frequency from 50 MHz to 1150 MHz.

  • Power Consumption

Thermal Design Power(TDP) of i5 8600K is 95 Watts which makes it easily manageable to deal with the created heat. In addition, it has 52% less power leakage than previous generation core i5 processors making it very power efficient and playing a key role to enable higher number of cores in the same TDP range.

However, Core i5 8600K doesn’t come with an air- or closed-loop liquid cooler making its tendency to get overheated.

  • Memory

The Core i5 8600K has extra cache featuring 9 MB of L3  cache which plays an important role in memory improvements and a higher performance .Core i5 8600K supports memory type DDR4-2666 which can scale upto 42.7 GB/s across two 64-bit channels as compared to DDR4-2400’s which can only scale upto 38.4 GB/s.

  • Motherboard Support

Core i5 8600K  fits well only with the Z370 boards and comes with a unlocked multiplier which to manipulate its ratio. It has other features like overclocking for each core, real time memory timing adjustments and memory multipliers which scale upto 8400 MT/s.

We recommend ASRock – Z370 Killer SLI/ac ATX LGA1151 motherboard priced at $174.00 on Amazon.com for core i5 8600K due to its decent overclocking and diagnosis features.

Performance Benchmarks

If we compare core i5 8600K with its direct competitors Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 5 1600X, core i5 8600K wins in several benchmarks :

Benchmarks Core i5 8600K Ryzen 5 1600 Ryzen 5 1600X
Cinebench R15 Single Core 188 141 155
Cinebench R15 Multi Core 1046 1137 1207
Handbrake h.264 (fps) 17.8 17.4 17.8
Handbrake HEVC (fps) 7.2 5.4 5.7

Gaming Benchmarks

Games Tested Core i5 8600K Ryzen 5 1600 Ryzen 5 1600X
Assassin’s Creed Unity, Ultra High 132.2 116.4 118.7
