Cinebench R15
In a similar manner to our AIDA tests, Cinebench will take all the cores it can get. Despite only having two more cores available to it the i7-8700K nearly doubles the score attained on a i7-7700K. Intel have come a long way. This is highlighted by the outstanding showing in the single thread results.

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
