Intel's 8th-gen CPUs are the most underrated used chips you can buy

What happened

Just because they're no match for newer CPUs (the general-purpose processor at the centre of a computer) doesn't mean they're obsolete. After all, even today's entry-level Ryzen CPUs can put the "high-end" i7-8700K to shame in gaming benchmarks. But the point of those CPUs today isn't to prove they can still compete with what's available on the market. Intel is a semiconductor and electrical company based in Santa Clara, founded in 1968.
