The 8700k was well welcomed, but there was a dark horse looming that no one seemed to notice or care about at the time--the ringbus/interconnect problem.
Not long after the release of the moar corez 9900k, the first 8 core consumer chip which led to an arms race of cores, came the release of a game called Apex Legends, just a few months later. And unknown to almost everyone at the time, this game showed that the ringbus extension to more and more threads was completely broken. The result: An error called the "Internal Parity Error", which related to the cache/core subsystem and its internal buffers. This problem was massive, generating a gigantic megathread "crash thread" over on the EA forums with people's prime / ycruncher stable systems just randomly going back to the desktop, and a few people who noticed that WHEA Errors were being generated. The WHEA was the crash actually being prevented (corrected hardware error).
Ελπίζω όλοι αυτοί (δεν είναι ένας και δύο, είναι πολλοί) που μας τα κάνανε μπαλόνια με τους γαμάτους i7 να νιώθουν όμορφα που χρηματοδότησαν αδρά αυτό το τεχνολογικό ΑΙΣΧΟΣ της Intel.
