What the Core i7-8670T is
The Core i7-8670T squeezes six cores with Hyper-Threading into a 35 W envelope. It launched in September 2018 with a 2.3 GHz base and up to 3.7 GHz boost. No public Intel ARK page exists for this OEM SKU, so Technical City plus TechPowerUp title confirmation carry verification.
Twelve megabytes of Smart Cache support multitasking across twelve threads. The low base stretches efficiency in compact cases. Boost to 3.7 GHz lifts single thread bursts for office apps.
UHD Graphics 630 cover office displays. The process is 14 nm. DDR4 in two channels suits small towers.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 8670T fits LGA 1151 on revision 2 boards only. H310 small towers pair it with DDR4 for quiet offices. Early Z370 may need an update. Revision 1 never supports it.
DDR4 in two channels suits twelve thread offices with SSDs. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide details revisions.
Single socket compact towers are the home. Another low power 300 series chip on the same board adds speed.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4 in two channels with SSDs gives smooth multitasking. Start with 16 GB.
Sixteen Gen3 lanes can hold NVMe while integrated graphics drive monitors. Most small towers skip discrete cards.
35 W low profile cooling from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide stays quiet.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Core i7-8700T raises clocks at the same 35 W where listed. The Intel Core i5-8500T drops to six threads for cheaper nodes. Both share 300 series boards.
Pentium parts lack threads for heavier multitasking.
Past LGA 1151 low power offices move to LGA 1200. The 8670T covers quiet twelve thread towers.
