Intel Core i7 8086K Linux Performance

The benchmarks tell me there is no reason for anyone to consider this cpu. It's a premium priced fanboy part, with little real world value.

I think that's the idea. It's a limited edition part and I would imagine that anyone buying knows that they are basically throwing extra money to Intel.

That said it's still a binned i7-8700K so if that's really what you are looking for it might be a good purchase. There are other ways to got those without buying a dozen i7-8700Ks though.

Damn, I'd love this CPU, but I'm a fanless enthusiast so no go unless they also release an 8086T too

True fanless enthusiasts have bigger heatsinks.

The 8086K is a bit of a joke (a pretty expensive one). At first glance, it looks nice, 4 GHz base and 5 GHz turbo frequency instead of 3,7 and 4,7. But the 5 GHz are only for one core loaded and all the others idle, and the 2 to 6 core turbo is the same as on the 8700K, making the base clock increase pointless as well.

Im not sure. Is the ASUS PRIME Z370-A motherboard BIOS one of the ones that by default all core boost (IE overclocked) and have to disable that feature to get the stock 1 core boost.
A lot of the results where close for stock vs OC 8086K.
