The Intel Coffee Lake CPUs have unleashed six core mainstream chips with all of the 14nm processing goodness Intel can bring to bear against AMD’s finest. But while the K-series Core i7 8700K might be grabbing all the headlines, with its Ryzen-beating multi-threaded performance and 5.2GHz overclocking chops, it’s the Core i5 8400 which is really the best CPU for gamers.
And that means we’ve got a new winner at the top of our list of the best CPU for gaming...
It’s normal for the Core i5 chips in a new generation to be the ones we end up recommending for gamers - historically, the HyperThreading tech only offers a little extra gaming performance with the Core i7 - but this is the first time I’ve recommended ditching the K-series processors in their entirety.
