Intel’s limited edition Core i7-8086K was released on Friday for the price of $425, and it can be found on Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg.
The Core was put on sale in honor of Intel’s 8086 40th anniversary.

It packs 6 cores and 12 threads that run between 4GHz and 5GHz, which are compatible with the standard Intel 300-series motherboards.
