Coffee Lake 6-core processor

The Intel Core i7-8700 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop CPU built on 14nm Coffee Lake architecture. It runs at a 3.2 GHz base frequency and reaches 4.6 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The processor fits LGA 1151 sockets and works only with Intel 300 series motherboards. It includes Intel UHD Graphics 630 with a 350 MHz base frequency.

Build integration and platform

This OEM processor ships without a cooler, so a compatible LGA 1151 heatsink must be supplied separately. The 65 W thermal design power allows use with many standard air or liquid coolers. PCI Express 3.0 provides 16 lanes for graphics and high-speed storage. DDR4 memory support frees up budget by using widely available modules.

Thermals and power in use

At 65 W TDP the chip stays within modest power limits during typical workloads. The integrated UHD Graphics 630 handles display output without a discrete card for office and media tasks. Virtualization technology support enables smooth virtual machine operation. Windows 11 compatibility ensures current operating system support.
