INTEL COFFEE LAKE
Maybe Intel was panicking about the threat of Ryzen. Maybe it realised it couldn’t just keep churning out the same CPUs every year. Whatever the reason, Intel has rushed forward the launch of its brand-new Coffee Lake CPUs. It’s a move that brings the firm’s mainstream desktop chips up a level, adding two more cores across the range, and banishing the dual-core desktop CPU to the bottom end. You can now pick up an overclockable quad-core Core i3 CPU for £159 inc VAT, and the Core i5 and Core i7 chips all now feature six cores. We’ve reviewed three of the new CPUs, as well as looking at the best memory to accompany them, and showing you how to overclock them. Plus, we also have a full Labs test of Z370 motherboards.
