Does this remind anybody of Intel Pentium 4 Prescott?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_4#Prescott

  Intel claimed that NetBurst would allow clock speeds of up to 10 GHz in future chips; however, severe problems with heat dissipation (especially with the Prescott Pentium 4) limited CPU clock speeds to a much lower 3.8 GHz

I was thinking about this the other day when I first started reading the Coffee Lake reviews. This thing runs toasty. Yeah it's fast, but it's hot enough to boil water faster than a US kettle.

I hope the next step on Zen really closes the gap. It's only then we're going to be set for some real innovation from intel.

Someone overclocked an i9 to 6 GHz and it consumed a cool 1 kW:

In what way?

[atom_enger]

Intel's historical response has been run it hotter when AMD introduces something that's competitive.

Presumably in relation to power draw? The 8700K seems kind of like one of those "Overclocked straight from the factory" deals that you see a lot with Video cards.

The issue with heat.
