Description
Intel i7 8th-Gen: Jump to serious workstation speed with the Intel Core i7 8th Generation (Coffee Lake) from Golden Scrap Yard. These LGA1151 processors (e.g., i7-8700 / 8700K) bring a big architectural leap—moving to 6 cores / 12 threads—so heavy browsers, spreadsheets, editing apps, and Zoom/Teams all feel instantly snappier. Every chip is professionally graded, deep-cleaned, and stress-tested under load, giving refurbishers, PC shops, and DIY builders a reliable drop-in upgrade for modern productivity and budget creation.
Why choose i7 8th-Gen (Coffee Lake)
• Cores/Threads: 6C/12T for smooth multitasking and faster exports in Adobe and similar tools
• Clocks: High base/boost frequencies; “K” models unlock overclocking on Z-series boards (adequate cooling required)
• Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 supports dual displays and hardware HEVC/VP9 4K decode; Quick Sync Video accelerates transcodes
• Acceleration: SSE4.2, AVX2, AES-NI, VT-x/VT-d (model-dependent) to speed media, security, and virtualization tasks
• Memory & I/O: Excellent with DDR4-2400/2666 (board-dependent), NVMe SSDs over PCIe 3.0, and optional Intel Optane Memory caching
Golden Scrap Yard advantages
We specialize in quality-tested Intel CPUs. Our technicians validate clocks, thermals, and stability before packing each processor in anti-static protection with clear SKU/stepping labels. Need consistent supply? Ask about wholesale pricing, mixed-model lots, secure payments (cards, crypto, bank transfer), and fast U.S./international shipping with responsive support.
Ideal use cases
• Refresh office power-user PCs for faster boots, analytics sheets, and cloud workflows
• Build quiet home/study rigs with excellent video-meeting performance
• Create budget content-creation or streaming systems leveraging Quick Sync
• Assemble 1080p–1440p gaming rigs; pair i7-8700K with GPUs like RTX 2060/3060 or RX 6600/6700 XT
Compatibility tips
Use a 300-series LGA1151 motherboard (H310, B360, H370, Z370/Z390). Coffee Lake i7 CPUs are not supported on older 100/200-series boards. Update to the latest BIOS, pair with 16–32GB DDR4, a fast NVMe SSD, and quality 120–240 mm cooling (for “K” chips).
