SiSoft Sandra
SiSoft Sandra is similar to AIDA64 in that it is capable of maximising the available cores. Whilst, to some degree, you can overcome that core deficit between the six cores of the i7-8700K and the additional ones of the processors above it, eventually those extra cores tell. However, glance a little lower down the graph to compare the i7-8700K with the i7-7700K it replaces and the benefits of Intels roadmap become clear.

What a CPU. Very nice. Should have been here two years ago, but still, very nice.Quote
Certainly looks like a nice upgrade for quad core folks. Not for us Ryzen folks though. 
I'm content to boycott Intel until they regain their senses.Quote

So it's the end of the day: there are, literally 0 8700K's in the entire country and only a handful of boards (with insane prices). Both that CPU and the Apex have an estimated 10+ days to come into stock. It's abysimal and not a launch, worse than Skylake. Sorry but I'm giving this the finger until things become reasonable and actually available, what a letdown as I had plannend on building it Saturday.
Nice review Tom, thanks!! I have some 3333MHz RAM incoming for an Apex or Hero board (very likely the former) and if I don't use XMP but just set it manually, as I like to do, won't that prevent the SA and VCC to auto rise?Quote
