Intel's Core i7-8086K should cost under £400
 

Available as of June 8th

It appears that Intel's 40th anniversary Core i7-8086K CPU won't be that pricy and should sell for under £400 when it starts selling on June 8th, at least according to the latest report.

According to Gibbo, a well-known member of Overclockers UK staff, the Core i7-8086K will start selling on June 8th, which is just a couple of days after Intel is expected to officially announce the new 40th Anniversary CPU at Computex 2018 show. On Overclockers.co.uk forum, Gibbo also noted that 1000 units are already en-route and that these shall be priced at under £400, which is not that bad considering that the retail price of the Core i7-8700K is set at £329.99.

Earlier leaks in retail suggested that the Core i7-8086K will be pretty much the same as the Core i7-8700K but run at 4.0GHz base and 5.0-5.1GHz Boost clocks.

Of course, Overclockers.co.uk will also offer 8-Pack de-lidded versions with silver/copper IHS, which also means that the IHS on the Core i7-8086K is not soldered.

As noted, Intel will be holding a Computex 2018 keynote on June 5th so we will surely hear more about it then.
