Overclocking
The high potential of the DDR4 overclocking that the specifications table spoke of is matched up by the actuality, with the Godlike capable of a monstrous 4266MHz memory speed. That definitely counts as a lot.
It isn’t only the memory that is capable of some extremely high numbers either, as some careful tuning saw our i7-8700K pass the 5 GHz barrier. Sure it might only be 28MHz passed 5 GHz, but given how much of a struggle hitting five was on the previous generation it is safe to say that the 8th generation of Intel CPUs definitely has the overclocking aspect nailed, and the Godlike makes the most of it.
