Intel Core i7 8700K has Intel UHD graphics 630 which is much better in terms of performance. This year I decided to upgrade to the latest core i7 8700K has more cores than previous generation processor. Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia Gtx 970 were more than enough for me while editing videos in 1080P and 4K occasionally. I was able to build a Hackintosh out of that 4th generation build with ease and I was using this for all of my video editing tasks.
4 cores are somehow outdated if you’re a pro user and want to do multitasking like video editing, 3D modeling, rendering, animation and simulation for engineering projects. It was sufficient for my gaming needs before I started making videos and rendering scenes. Intel Core i7 4790K have 4.0 GHz base clock and 4.4 GHz boost Clock, It can be overclocked to 4.8Ghz.
I’ve been using that 4th generation processor for almost 3 years and I wasn’t disappointed with my choice 3 years ago. I decided to upgrade my 4th generation Intel core i7 4790K devil’s canyon to an 8th Generation Intel Core i7 8700K for macOS High Sierra Hackintosh.
New Year, New computer macOS High Sierra on Intel Core i7 8700K
